Answers
Secondary 2 Mathematics Quiz - Statistics Probability (Answer Key)
Section A: Basic Concepts (1 mark each)
1. A bag contains 5 red balls, 3 blue balls and 2 green balls. What is the probability of drawing a blue ball?
Answer: 3/10 or 0.3 Working: Total balls = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10, Blue balls = 3, P(blue) = 3/10
2. The mean of the numbers 8, 12, 15, x, 20 is 13. Find the value of x.
Answer: x = 10 Working: (8 + 12 + 15 + x + 20) ÷ 5 = 13, so 55 + x = 65, therefore x = 10
3. In a frequency table, the modal class is the class with the __________ frequency.
Answer: highest Marking: Accept "greatest" or "maximum"
4. A fair six-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of getting an even number?
Answer: 1/2 or 0.5 Working: Even numbers are 2, 4, 6. P(even) = 3/6 = 1/2
5. The range of the data set {3, 7, 2, 9, 5, 8, 1} is:
Answer: 8 Working: Range = highest - lowest = 9 - 1 = 8
6. If the probability of an event happening is 0.3, what is the probability of the event not happening?
Answer: 0.7 Working: P(not happening) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7
7. The median of 5 numbers arranged in ascending order is the __________ number.
Answer: 3rd (or third/middle) Marking: Accept "middle" or "central"
8. A spinner has 8 equal sections numbered 1 to 8. What is the probability of spinning a number greater than 5?
Answer: 3/8 or 0.375 Working: Numbers greater than 5 are 6, 7, 8. P = 3/8
Section B: Data Analysis (2 marks each)
