16  1
1 a Q2 = th value = 8.5th value

1009, 1013, 1014, 1017, 1017, 1017, 1018, 1019, 1021, 1022, 1024, 1024, 1025, 1027, 1029, 1031

1019  1021
Q2 = = 1020 hPa

b Q1 = 4.5th value
Q1 = 1017 hPa

Q3 = 12.5th value
Q3 = 1024.5 hPa

95  1
2 Q2 = th value = 48th value
2
Q2 = 37

Q1 = 24th value
Q1 = 37

Q3 = 72nd value
Q3 = 38

3 Median value is the 13th value. This is in the first class.


Let m be the median.

m  0 13  0
 so m ≈ 1.08 (3 sf)
1.5  0 18  0

31
4 a Median: = 15.5th value
2
Using interpolation:
Q 2  399.5 15.5  9

449.5  399.5 19  9

Q2 = 432 kg

31
b Q1 : = 7.75th value, so Q1 is in class 350 – 399
4

Q1  349.5 7.75  3

399.5  349.5 93

Q1  349.5 4.75

50 6

Q1 = 39.58 + 349.5 = 389

4 c Q3 : 3 × = 23.25th value, so Q3 is in class 450 – 499
4

Q3  449.5 23.25  19

499.5  449.5 26  19

Q3  449.5 4.25

Q3 = 30.36 + 449.5 = 480

d Three-quarters of the cows weigh less than 480 kg.

(25  6)  (35  10)  (45  18)  (55  13)  (65  2)


5 a Estimate for the mean =

2155
=
49
= 44.0 minutes (to 3 sf)

b 65th : × 49 = 31.85
100

P65  40 31.85  16

50  40 34  16

P65 = 48.8

P90  50 44.1  34
c 
60  50 47  34

P90 = 57.8

90th percentile = 57.8 minutes, so more than 10% of customers have to wait longer than 57.8
minutes – not 56 minutes as stated by the firm.

P80  2.5 80  61
6 a 
3.0  2.5 89  61

P80 = 2.84 (to 2 d.p.)

80th percentile = 2.84 m, so 80% of condors have a wingspan of less than 2.84 m.

b The 90th percentile is in the 3.0 ≤ w class. There is no upper boundary for this class, so it is not
possible to estimate the 90th percentile.
