Secondary 1 Mathematics Quiz - Statistics Probability (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40

Section A: Data Collection and Representation

1. Calculate the percentage of students who chose Mathematics as their favorite subject. [2 marks]

Answer: 37.5%

Working: Total students = 15 + 12 + 8 + 5 = 40 Percentage = (15/40) × 100% = 37.5%

Marking: 1 mark for correct total, 1 mark for correct percentage

2. Calculate how many students own dogs if the angle is 144° and there are 30 students total. [2 marks]

Answer: 12 students

Working: Proportion = 144°/360° = 2/5 Number of students = (2/5) × 30 = 12 students

Marking: 1 mark for correct proportion, 1 mark for correct answer

3. State two advantages of using a bar chart. [2 marks]

Sample Answers: (a) Easy to compare different categories visually (b) Clear to read exact values from the height of bars (c) Simple to understand and interpret (d) Can easily identify the most/least popular category

Marking: 1 mark for each valid advantage (accept any reasonable answer)

4. Find the median height from the stem-and-leaf diagram. [2 marks]

Answer: 162 cm

Working: Data in order: 142, 145, 148, 151, 153, 156, 157, 159, 160, 162, 164, 165, 167, 168, 169, 171, 173, 175, 176, 178 20 values, so median = average of 10th and 11th values = (162 + 164)/2 = 163 cm

Marking: 1 mark for identifying correct position, 1 mark for correct calculation

5. Explain why the graph is misleading. [2 marks]

Sample Answer: The y-axis starts at 950 instead of 0, which makes small differences in the data appear much larger than they actually are. This exaggerates the differences between the values and can mislead readers about the true scale of the differences.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying the y-axis issue, 1 mark for explaining the effect

6. Draw a histogram for the grouped data. [3 marks]

Marking Scheme:

1 mark for correct axes labels and scale
1 mark for correct bar heights matching frequencies
1 mark for bars touching (no gaps) and equal width

7. Find the modal class from Question 6. [1 mark]

Answer: 3-5 books

Marking: 1 mark for correct modal class (highest frequency = 15)

8. Calculate the average rate of temperature increase per hour. [2 marks]

Answer: 1.5°C per hour

Working: Time difference = 2 PM - 6 AM = 8 hours Temperature increase = 27°C - 15°C = 12°C Rate = 12°C ÷ 8 hours = 1.5°C per hour

Marking: 1 mark for correct time/temperature difference, 1 mark for correct rate

Section B: Measures of Central Tendency

9. Calculate mean and median scores. [4 marks total]

Data: 65, 72, 58, 81, 69, 74, 63, 77, 70, 66

(a) Mean: 69.5 Working: Sum = 695, Mean = 695 ÷ 10 = 69.5 Marking: 2 marks (1 for sum, 1 for division)

(b) Median: 69.5 Working: Ordered: 58, 63, 65, 66, 69, 70, 72, 74, 77, 81 Median = (69 + 70) ÷ 2 = 69.5 Marking: 2 marks (1 for ordering, 1 for correct median)

10. Find the mode. [1 mark]

Answer: 9

Marking: 1 mark for identifying 9 as the most frequent value

11. Find the height of the 9th student. [3 marks]

Answer: 171 cm

Working: Total height of 8 students = 162 × 8 = 1296 cm Total height of 9 students = 163 × 9 = 1467 cm Height of 9th student = 1467 - 1296 = 171 cm

Marking: 1 mark for each calculation step

12. Calculate the mean number of goals. [2 marks]

Answer: 1.6 goals

Working: Total goals = (0×3) + (1×7) + (2×6) + (3×3) + (4×1) = 0 + 7 + 12 + 9 + 4 = 32 Mean = 32 ÷ 20 = 1.6 goals

Marking: 1 mark for correct total, 1 mark for correct mean

13. Most appropriate measure and reason. [2 marks]

Answer: Median

Reason: The score of 95 is an outlier that would pull the mean higher than typical performance. The median is not affected by extreme values and better represents the typical student's performance.

Marking: 1 mark for median, 1 mark for reasonable explanation about outliers

14. What does mean > median tell us about distribution? [2 marks]

Answer: The distribution is positively skewed (skewed to the right). This means there are some people with much higher ages pulling the mean above the median.

Marking: 1 mark for identifying positive skew, 1 mark for explanation

Section C: Probability

15. Probability with a fair die. [2 marks total]

(a) Even number: 1/2 or 0.5 Working: Even numbers: 2, 4, 6 (3 outcomes out of 6) Marking: 1 mark

(b) Greater than 4: 1/3 Working: Numbers > 4: 5, 6 (2 outcomes out of 6) = 2/6 = 1/3 Marking: 1 mark

16. Probability with colored balls. [2 marks total]

Total balls = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10

(a) Red: 5/10 = 1/2 Marking: 1 mark

(b) Not green: 8/10 = 4/5 Working: Not green = red + blue = 5 + 3 = 8 Marking: 1 mark

17. Probability a student plays football. [2 marks]

Answer: 18/30 = 3/5 = 0.6

Working: 18 out of 30 students play football Marking: 1 mark for fraction, 1 mark for simplification

18. Probability with spinner (1-8). [3 marks total]

(a) Prime number: 1/2 Working: Prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7 (4 out of 8) Marking: 2 marks (1 for identifying primes, 1 for probability)
