Answer: 5.6 books
Marking: 1 mark for correct sum (56), 1 mark for correct division and answer.
(b) Median [2 marks]
Working: Arrange in ascending order: 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Number of values = 10 (even), so median = average of 5th and 6th values 5th value = 5, 6th value = 5 Median = (5 + 5) ÷ 2 = 5
Answer: 5 books
Marking: 1 mark for correct ordering, 1 mark for correct median calculation.
(c) Mode [1 mark]
Answer: 5 books
Marking: 1 mark for correct answer. The mode is the value that appears most frequently (5 appears 3 times).
Question 2 [6 marks]
(a) Most popular sport [1 mark]
Answer: Football (12 students)
Marking: 1 mark for correct answer.
(b) Fraction for Swimming [2 marks]
Working: Number who chose Swimming = 6 Total students = 40 Fraction = 6/40 = 3/20
Answer: 3/20
Marking: 1 mark for correct fraction 6/40, 1 mark for simplifying to 3/20.
(c) Bar chart [3 marks]
The bar chart should have:
- Correctly labelled x-axis (Sport) and y-axis (Number of students) [1 mark]
- Correct heights: Football = 12, Basketball = 8, Swimming = 6, Badminton = 9, Volleyball = 5 [1 mark]
- Bars of equal width with appropriate spacing [1 mark]
Marking: Deduct 1 mark for each error in labelling or bar height.
Question 3 [3 marks]
| Number of hours | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tally | II | IIII | IIII | III | I |
| Frequency | 2 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 1 |
Marking: 1 mark for correct tallies, 1 mark for correct frequencies, 1 mark for all entries being correct.
Common mistake: Students may miscount the number of 4s (there are five 4s in the data set).
Question 4 [4 marks]
(a) Fraction for School [2 marks]
Working: Angle for School = 150° Total angle in a circle = 360° Fraction = 150/360 = 5/12
Answer: 5/12
Marking: 1 mark for correct fraction 150/360, 1 mark for simplifying to 5/12.
(b) Hours spent at School [2 marks]
Working: Sleeping angle = 120° corresponds to 8 hours School angle = 150° Hours at School = (150/120) × 8 = 1.25 × 8 = 10 hours
Alternatively: 120° = 8 hours, so 1° = 8/120 hours 150° = 150 × (8/120) = 150 × (1/15) = 10 hours
Answer: 10 hours
Marking: 1 mark for correct proportion setup, 1 mark for correct answer.
Question 5 [5 marks]
(a) Students who scored 6 marks [1 mark]
From the dot diagram: Score 6 has 2 dots.
Answer: 2 students
Marking: 1 mark for correct answer.
(b) Range [2 marks]
Working: Highest score = 9 Lowest score = 3 Range = 9 − 3 = 6
Answer: 6
Marking: 1 mark for identifying highest and lowest, 1 mark for correct subtraction.
(c) Mean score [2 marks]
Working: Scores: 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9 Sum = 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 9 = 84 Wait — let us count from the dot diagram carefully:
- Score 3: 1 student → 3 × 1 = 3
- Score 4: 2 students → 4 × 2 = 8
- Score 5: 3 students → 5 × 3 = 15
- Score 6: 2 students → 6 × 2 = 12
- Score 7: 3 students → 7 × 3 = 21
- Score 8: 2 students → 8 × 2 = 16
- Score 9: 1 student → 9 × 1 = 9
Total students = 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 14
Wait — the question states 12 students. Let me recount the dots: Score 3: • (1), Score 4: •• (2), Score 5: ••• (3), Score 6: •• (2), Score 7: ••• (3), Score 8: •• (2), Score 9: • (1) Total = 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 14
There is an inconsistency in the question (states 12 students but shows 14 dots). Using the dot diagram as shown:
Sum = 3 + 8 + 15 + 12 + 21 + 16 + 9 = 84 Total = 14 Mean = 84 ÷ 14 = 6
Answer: 6 marks
Marking: 1 mark for correct sum, 1 mark for correct mean. Accept answers based on either interpretation.
Question 6 [5 marks]
(a) Plants with height 24 cm [1 mark]

Working: All heights in order: 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 24, 26, 32, 35, 37, 41 Wait — let me list all 14 values: 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 24, 26, 32, 35, 37, 41
That's only 13 values. Let me recount: Stem 1: 12, 13, 15, 18 (4 values) Stem 2: 20, 21, 24, 24, 26 (5 values) Stem 3: 32, 35, 7 → 32, 35, 37 (3 values) Stem 4: 41 (1 value)
Total = 4 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 13 values. The question states 14 plants. Assuming the data as written (13 values):
For 13 values (odd), median = 7th value = 24 cm
If we assume 14 plants as stated, the median would be the average of the 7th and 8th values.
Answer: 24 cm (accept 24 cm based on the data shown)
Marking: 1 mark for correct ordering, 1 mark for correct median.
(c) Mean height [2 marks]
Working: Sum = 12 + 13 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 21 + 24 + 24 + 26 + 32 + 35 + 37 + 41 = 318 Number of plants = 13 Mean = 318 ÷ 13 = 24.46 cm (to 2 decimal places)
Answer: 24.46 cm
Marking: 1 mark for correct sum, 1 mark for correct division and rounding.

Answer: 45–50 kg (or 45 ≤ weight < 50)
Marking: 1 mark for correct median class.
Question 10 [4 marks]
(a) Students scoring 40–60 marks [2 marks]
Working: Class width = 20 Frequency density = 0.1 Frequency = frequency density × class width = 0.1 × 20 = 2 students
Answer: 2 students
Marking: 1 mark for correct formula, 1 mark for correct answer.
(b) Students scoring 60 marks or above [2 marks]
Working: For 60–80: frequency density = 0.075, class width = 20 Frequency = 0.075 × 20 = 1.5
For 80–100: frequency density = 0.05, class width = 20 Frequency = 0.05 × 20 = 1
Total = 1.5 + 1 = 2.5 students
Since we cannot have half a student, this suggests the histogram is illustrative. The expected answer based on the given data is 2.5 or approximately 3 students.
