0 10 20 30 40
Weight (kg)
A quarter of the tourists had to pay an extra charge because their luggage was too heavy.
(b) Write down an estimate of the maximum weight that is allowed before having to pay
the extra charge.
(1)
Four tourists with luggage weighing 10 kg, 17 kg, 21 kg and 25 kg join the group.
(c) State what, if any, changes this will make to the box plot.
Give a reason for your answer.

2. Peta recorded the times, t minutes, a group of children took to swim 300 metres. She
summarised these times in the following histogram.

Frequency
3
density
2

0 10 20 30 40
Time (minutes)
(a) Calculate the number of children who took part in the swim.
(2)
Adam used the histogram to estimate the mean and standard deviation of the times taken
by the children to complete the swim.
(b) Find Adam’s estimate of
(i) the mean,
(2)
(ii) the standard deviation.
(3)
Adam used linear interpolation to estimate the median time taken by the children to
complete the swim.
(c) Find Adam’s estimate of the median.
(2)
Peta also calculated the mean, standard deviation and median of the times taken by the
children but she used each child’s actual time taken to complete the swim. She obtained
a mean time of 20.8 minutes, a standard deviation of 5.51 minutes and a median time of
20.5 minutes.
(d) Explain an assumption Adam made about these data that has led him to get different
answers to Peta.
(1)
Adam and Peta each calculate a coefficient of skewness by using their statistics in the
formula
3(mean − median )
skewness =
standard deviation
(e) (i) Calculate the coefficients of skewness found by Adam and Peta.
(ii) Suggest how Peta could improve her histogram to describe the data more
accurately.

4. The journey time for Charlie to travel to the train station is normally distributed with
mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 6 minutes. If Charlie’s journey time is less than
20 minutes, he will have time to buy a coffee before boarding his train.
(a) Find the probability that, on a randomly selected day, Charlie has time to buy a coffee.
(3)
(b) Find the probability that he has time to buy a coffee on just one of these days.
(3)
A new road is built and this should make Charlie’s journey time to the station more
reliable.
(d) State, giving a reason, what effect you would expect this to have on the standard
deviation of Charlie’s journey times to the station.
(1)
After the new road was built, Charlie’s journey time to the station is still modelled by a
normal distribution with mean 25 minutes but the standard deviation, ı, has changed. In
the first 20 journeys to the station using this new road, Charlie took longer than 30 minutes
on 3 occasions.

6. Maria is studying the learning of Spanish in a college. She takes a random sample of
8 students studying Spanish and records their vocabulary, v words, and the number
of years, y, that they have been studying Spanish. Figure 1, opposite, shows a sketch of
the scatter diagram for these data.
(a) State, giving a reason, whether or not a linear regression model might be suitable to
model the relationship between v and y.

(c) State, giving a reason, whether or not this result is consistent with your conclusion in
part (a).
(1)
Maria wishes to estimate the vocabulary of a student who has been learning Spanish for
5 years.
(d) By calculating a suitable regression line, find an estimate for the vocabulary of this
student.
(6)
Frederic, who has studied Spanish for 2 years at the college, was part of this sample. His
vocabulary is 80 words.
(f ) With reference to this information and the scatter diagram, suggest how Maria’s
model for the relationship between v and y could be improved and sketch a suitable
alternative model.
