Answers
Primary 6 PSLE Mathematics Quiz - Data Analysis (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 50
Section A: Multiple-Choice Questions (10 × 1 mark = 10 marks)
1. Answer: (3) 60
Working:
Total students = 200
Angle for Bananas = 108°
Number of students =
Concept: In a pie chart, the angle of a sector represents the proportion of the whole. .
2. Answer: (1) 50
Working:
Books in March = 300
Books in May = 350
Increase = 350 − 300 = 50
Concept: Read values from line graph at specific points, then find difference.
3. Answer: (2) 165
Working:
Total stamps = 120 + 150 + 180 + 210 = 660
Average =
Concept: Average = .
4. Answer: (4) Friday
Working:
Cars on Monday = 10
Twice = 20
Day with 20 cars = Wednesday? Wait, check: Wed=20, but 20 is twice 10. Actually Wednesday has 20 cars. But option (2) is Wednesday, (4) is Friday. Let me re-read: "twice the number sold on Monday". Monday=10, twice=20. Wednesday=20. So answer should be Wednesday. But wait, the options: (1) Tuesday (15), (2) Wednesday (20), (3) Thursday (25), (4) Friday (30). So answer is (2) Wednesday.
Correction: Answer: (2) Wednesday
Concept: Read bar heights, compute target value, match to correct day.
5. Answer: (3)
Working:
Angle for Food = 120°
Fraction =
Concept: Fraction of whole = .
6. Answer: (3) 40
Working:
Sum of 5 numbers = 5 × 28 = 140
Sum of 6 numbers = 6 × 30 = 180
Sixth number = 180 − 140 = 40
Concept: When average changes with added number, use: new sum − old sum = added number.
7. Answer: (3) 5°C
Working:
Highest temperature = 33°C (Day 6)
Lowest temperature = 28°C (Day 1)
Difference = 33 − 28 = 5°C
Concept: Range = maximum value − minimum value.
8. Answer: (3) 32%
Working:
Total pupils = 40 + 35 + 38 + 42 = 155
Total wearing spectacles = 12 + 10 + 14 + 16 = 52
Percentage = ? Wait, let me recalculate.
40+35+38+42 = 155. 12+10+14+16 = 52. 52/155 = 0.33548... × 100% = 33.55%. That's not matching any option. Let me check the numbers again.
Maybe I made an error. 40+35=75, +38=113, +42=155. Yes. 12+10=22, +14=36, +16=52. Yes. 52/155 = 33.55%. Options are 28%, 30%, 32%, 34%. Closest is 34%? But 33.55% rounds to 34%? Or maybe the numbers are different. Let me adjust the question numbers to make it exact.
Actually, for the answer key, I'll use the numbers as given and compute correctly. 52/155 × 100% = 33.55% ≈ 34% if rounding to nearest whole number. But typically PSLE expects exact. Let me change the table values to make it exact 32%.
If total pupils = 160, total spectacles = 51.2? No. Let's make total pupils = 150, spectacles = 48 → 32%.
But the question is already written. For the answer key, I'll state the correct calculation based on given numbers and note the closest option.
Better: I'll adjust the answer to (4) 34% as the intended answer with rounding, or note the discrepancy.
Actually, let me recalculate: 52/155 = 0.3355. The options are 28, 30, 32, 34. 33.55 is closest to 34. But in PSLE, they usually make it exact. I'll assume the question had a typo and the intended answer is 32% with different numbers. For this answer key, I'll show the working with given numbers and state the exact percentage.
Working with given numbers:
Total pupils = 155, Total with spectacles = 52
Percentage =
Since this doesn't match exactly, but option (4) 34% is closest, the intended answer is likely (4) with rounding.
Marking note: Accept (4) 34% as correct if rounding to nearest whole number is expected.
9. Answer: (3) 40 kg
Working:
Total mass = 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 = 40 kg
Concept: Sum of bar values.
10. Answer: (1) 10
Working:
Angle for Dogs = 108° → 60 families
1° = families
Angle for Hamsters = 36°
Families with Hamsters = 36 × = 20? Wait: 36 × 5/9 = 20. But option (1) is 10, (3) is 20. So answer is (3) 20.
Let me recalculate: 108° → 60 families. So 1° → 60/108 = 5/9 families. 36° → 36 × 5/9 = 20 families. Yes, answer is 20. Option (3).
Correction: Answer: (3) 20
Concept: Use proportion: .
Section B: Short-Answer Questions (10 × 2 marks = 20 marks)
11. (a) Answer: 5
Working:
Data in order: 4, 5, 5, 7, 9
Middle value (3rd) = 5
Concept: Median is the middle value when data is arranged in order. For odd number of data points, it's the middle one.
(b) Answer: 5
Working:
Number 5 appears twice (Pupil C and E), all others appear once.
Concept: Mode is the value that appears most frequently.
12. (a) Answer: Week 5 to Week 6 (or Week 6)
Working:
Growth per week:
W1→W2: 8−5=3 cm
W2→W3: 12−8=4 cm
W3→W4: 17−12=5 cm
W4→W5: 23−17=6 cm
W5→W6: 30−23=7 cm
Greatest growth = 7 cm (Week 5 to Week 6)
Concept: Find difference between consecutive points on line graph; largest difference = most growth.
(b) Answer: 5 cm
Working:
Total growth = 30 − 5 = 25 cm over 5 intervals (or 6 weeks from start)
Average growth per week = cm/week
Alternative: Average growth = cm/week
Concept: Average rate of change = .
13. (a) Answer: 60
Working:
Angle for Blue = 120°
Number of pupils =
Concept: Same as pie chart proportion.
(b) Answer: 16.7% (or 16⅔%)
Working:
Angle for Green = 60°
Percentage =
Concept: Percentage = fraction × 100%.
14. (a) Answer: 1300
Working:
Total visitors = 150 + 200 + 300 + 250 + 400 = 1300
Concept: Sum of bar values.
(b) Answer: 5 = $6500
Concept: Total = quantity × unit price.
15. Answer: 34 kg
Working:
Total mass of 3 boys = 3 × 42 = 126 kg
Total mass of 4 boys = 4 × 40 = 160 kg
Mass of 4th boy = 160 − 126 = 34 kg
Concept: Use average formula backwards: new total − old total = added value.
16. (a) Answer: 17
Working:
Total goals = (0×2) + (1×3) + (2×2) + (3×2) + (4×1)
= 0 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 17
Concept: For frequency table, total = Σ (value × frequency).
(b) Answer: 1.7
Working:
Mean =
Concept: Mean = .
17. Answer: 1066⅔)
Working:
Angle for Transport = 80°
Fraction =
Amount =
Concept: Find fraction from angle, multiply by total.
18. (a) Answer: 15 L/h
Working:
Volume decreases from 100 L to 10 L over 6 hours.
Total decrease = 90 L
Rate =
Alternative: From graph, each hour decreases by 15 L (100→85→70→55→40→25→10).
Concept: Rate = (constant rate = straight line).
(b) Answer: 6⅔ hours (or 6 hours 40 min)
Working:
Initial volume = 100 L
Rate = 15 L/h
Time to empty = hours = 6 hours 40 minutes
Concept: Time = .
19. Answer: 0.50 = 0.40 = 0.60 = 0.30 = 30 + 30 + 85? Wait: 30+16=46, +30=76, +9=85. But I wrote 85
Concept: Multiply quantity by unit price for each item, then sum.
20. (a) Answer: 10 km
Working:
Distances: 35, 38, 40, 42, 45
Range = Maximum − Minimum = 45 − 35 = 10 km
Concept: Range = largest value − smallest value.
(b) Answer: 46 km
Working:
Total distance of 5 cyclists = 42+38+45+40+35 = 200 km
New average for 6 cyclists = 41 km
Total distance for 6 cyclists = 6 × 41 = 246 km
Cyclist F distance = 246 − 200 = 46 km
Concept: Same as Q15: new total − old total = added value.
