O-Level Elementary Mathematics Quiz - Statistics Probability (Answers)

1. Mean Calculation Sum = $152 + 160 + 158 + 165 + 162 = 797$ Mean = $797 / 5 = 159.4$ cm Marks: 2 marks (1 for sum, 1 for final answer)

2. Mode and Median Mode = 15 (appears 3 times) Median = 8 (middle value of 9 sorted numbers) Marks: 2 marks (1 each)

3. Mean from Sums Mean = $\sum fx / \sum f = 1280 / 40 = 32$ Marks: 2 marks

4. IQR from Stem-and-Leaf Total $n = 20$. $Q_1$ (5th value) = 50 $Q_3$ (15th value) = 66 $IQR = 66 - 50 = 16$ Marks: 3 marks (1 for $Q_1$, 1 for $Q_3$, 1 for subtraction)

5. IQR Calculation $IQR = Q_3 - Q_1 = 48 - 22 = 26$ Marks: 2 marks

6. Removed Number Total of 10 numbers = $10 \times 15 = 150$ Total of 9 numbers = $9 \times 14 = 126$ Removed number = $150 - 126 = 24$ Marks: 3 marks (1 for each total, 1 for difference)

7. Grouped Mean $\sum fx = (0 \times 3) + (1 \times 6) + (2 \times 5) + (3 \times 4) + (4 \times 2) = 0 + 6 + 10 + 12 + 8 = 36$ Mean = $36 / 20 = 1.8$ Marks: 3 marks (2 for $\sum fx$, 1 for mean)

8. Consistency Data set A is more consistent. Reason: It has a smaller standard deviation (2.4 < 5.1), meaning the data points are closer to the mean. Marks: 3 marks (1 for choice, 2 for explanation)
