Q1- Answer the questions below:

1) The box-and-whisker show the ages of people watching two different films at a cinema.

a) Compare the ages.

The Median of film A is (39) which is greater that of film B (32)

The Range of Film A is (56) which is greater this of film B which is (28) (Film A has wider range of ages)
Film A has an older age group than film B

b) Deduce which film is categorized as a family film. Give reasons for your answer.

Film A because it has a wider age range

 2) The table shows the percentage of land covered by forest in 19 European Union states
in 2010.
a) Construct a box-and whisker diagram
to represent the data.
9.7, 10.8, 11.8, 11.8, 21.5, 22.0, 28.3, 29.1, 30.0, 31.7, 33.5, 33.9,
34.3, 40.1, 41.3, 46.7, 53.9, 66.9, 73.9

median= 31.7
Min = 9.7
Max= 73.9
Q1= 21.5
Q3= 41.3

b) Determine if there are any outliers in this data.

Q1 -> 21.5 - 1.5 (19.8) = -8.2

q3 -> 41.3 + 1.5 (19.8) = 71

73.9 IS AN OUTLIER

 c) The box-and- whisker diagram shows the forest coverage for the same European
Union states in 2012.

Compare the data for 2010 and 2012 and identify any changes between the two
years.

In 2012, the median is greater than it was in 2010

The IQW in 2012 is wider than it was in 2010
The forest coverage is greater in 2010 than 2012
