    Tutorial 1

    1. To obtain grade A, Saleha must achieve an average of at least 75 marks in four tests. If her
    average mark for the first three tests is 70, calculate the lowest mark she must get in her fourth
    test in order to obtain grade A.

    2. Find the median, first quartile, third quartile and 40th percentile for the following sets of data:

    a) 21, 24, 17, 28, 36, 20, 32


    b) 3.5, 2.7, 5.4, 8.6, 4.3, 6.2, 9.9, 7.6

    3. Calculate the variance and standard deviation for the following sets of data. Comment on the
    dispersion of data.

    a) 16, 10, 9, 2, 5, 2, 7
    b) 10, 32, 8, 12, 14, 36, 20, 8, 40, 4, 32, 1

    4. Marks of a recent Mathematics test are as given below:

    73, 42, 67, 78, 99, 84, 91, 82, 86, 94

    Based on the marks given:

    a) Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram.


    b) Interpret the distribution.

    5. For the data given below:

    40, 32, 61, 52, 65, 68, 41, 61, 70, 66, 57, 55, 45, 51, 62, 69, 31, 50, 72, 66, 41, 54, 65, 79, 66

    a) Display the data in a stem-and-leaf diagram.


    b) Find the first, second and third quartiles
    c) Determine if there are any outliers.
    d) Construct a box-and-whisker plot for the data.

    6. From the stem-and-leaf diagram below, construct a box-and-whiskers plot and determine if there
    are any outliers.

    Stem Leaf
    5 1 9
    6 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 5
    6 8 8 8 9 9 9
    7 0 2 2 3 6 7

    Key: 5 | 9 means 59°F
