Secondary 1 Mathematics Quiz - Statistics Probability (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40

Section A: Data Handling and Representation (Questions 1–8, 16 marks)

1. Books read by students

Data: 0(4), 1(7), 2(9), 3(6), 4(3), 5(1). Total = 30 students.

(a) Mode
The mode is the value with the highest frequency.
Frequency of 2 books = 9 (highest).
Answer: 2 [1]

(b) Median
For 30 students, median is the average of the 15th and 16th values in ordered list.
Cumulative frequencies: 0→4, 1→11, 2→20.
Both 15th and 16th values fall in "2 books".
Answer: 2 [1]

(c) Mean
Mean = Σ(fx) / Σf
= (0×4 + 1×7 + 2×9 + 3×6 + 4×3 + 5×1) / 30
= (0 + 7 + 18 + 18 + 12 + 5) / 30
= 60 / 30 = 2
Answer: 2 [2]
Marking: 1 mark for correct Σ(fx)=60, 1 mark for division and answer.

2. Heights of 15 students

Data: 150, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165

16 | 0 1 2 3 4 5

[2]
Marking: 1 mark for correct stems and leaves, 1 mark for key and ordering.

(b) Range
Range = Maximum – Minimum = 165 – 150 = 15

Class A median = 63, Class B median = (64+67)/2 = 65.5 → Class B has higher median.
Class A range = 91–45 = 46, Class B range = 36 → Class A more spread.
Class A mean ≈ 63.7, Class B mean ≈ 62.1 → similar means.
Answer: Class B has a higher median (65.5 vs 63), suggesting better central performance. Class A has a larger range (46 vs 36), indicating more variability in scores. Both classes have similar means. [2]

16. P(A)=0.4, P(B)=0.5, P(A∪B)=0.7

(a) P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∪B) = 0.4 + 0.5 – 0.7 = 0.2
Answer: 0.2 [1]

(b) Mutually exclusive means P(A∩B) = 0. Here P(A∩B) = 0.2 ≠ 0.
So NOT mutually exclusive.
Answer: No, because P(A∩B) = 0.2 ≠ 0. [1]
