Secondary 2 Mathematics Quiz - Statistics Probability

Answer Key

Question 1

(a) Ella [1]

(b) 8 + 12 + 6 + 10 + 14 = 50 books [1]

(c) Mean = 50 ÷ 5 = 10 books [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct sum, [1] for correct division and answer.

Question 2

(a)

Hours	Tally	Frequency
1	II	2
2	IIII	5
3	IIII I	6

(c) Arrange in order: 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5

There are 20 values. Median = average of 10th and 11th values = (3 + 3) ÷ 2 = 3 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct ordering or identifying positions, [1] for correct answer.

Question 3

(a) 120 + 90 + 60 + 50 + 40 = 360° ✓ [1]

(b) Football: (120/360) × 180 = 60 students [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct fraction, [1] for correct answer.

(c) Swimming: (60/360) × 180 = 30 students [1]

(d) Badminton: 50/360 = 5/36 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct fraction, [1] for simplification.

Question 4

(a) Shortest: 152 cm [1]

(b) Tallest: 181 cm [1]

(c) There are 15 values. The median is the 8th value.

Values in order: 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 161, 163, 165, 167, 169, 172, 174, 176, 181

Median = 165 cm [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying the 8th position, [1] for correct value.

(d) Range = 181 − 152 = 29 cm [1]

Question 5

(a) 30°C [1]

(b) Mean = (31 + 33 + 30 + 34 + 32) ÷ 5 = 160 ÷ 5 = 32°C [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct sum, [1] for correct division.

(c) Thursday [1]

(d) Highest = 34, Lowest = 30. Difference = 34 − 30 = 4°C [1]

Question 6

(a) Mean = (12 + 8 + 35 + 38 + 10 + 6 + 65) ÷ 7 = 174 ÷ 7 = 24.9 years (or 24 6/7) [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct sum, [1] for correct division.

(b) Arrange in order: 6, 8, 10, 12, 35, 38, 65

Median (4th value) = 12 years [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct ordering, [1] for correct median.

(c) Range = 65 − 6 = 59 years [1]

(d) The data contains extreme values (65, 38, 35) which are much higher than most values. These outliers pull the mean upward, making it unrepresentative of the "typical" age. The median (12) is not affected by extreme values and better represents the centre of the data. [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying outliers/extreme values, [1] for explaining that median is not affected by them.

Question 7

(a) Mean = (68 + 72 + 75 + 75 + 80 + 82 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 90) ÷ 10 = 797 ÷ 10 = 79.7 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct sum, [1] for correct division.

(b) Mode = 85 (occurs 3 times) [1]

(c) There are 10 values. Median = average of 5th and 6th values = (80 + 82) ÷ 2 = 81 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying 5th and 6th values, [1] for correct calculation.

(d) The mean will decrease because 45 is less than the current mean of 79.7, so adding a value below the mean pulls the average down. [1]

Question 8

(a) Mean = (0×2 + 1×3 + 2×4 + 3×2 + 4×1) ÷ 12 = (0 + 3 + 8 + 6 + 4) ÷ 12 = 21 ÷ 12 = 1.75 goals [3]

Marking: Award [1] for correct multiplication, [1] for correct sum, [1] for correct division.

(b) Mode = 2 (frequency 4, the highest) [1]

(c) There are 12 values. List: 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4

Median = average of 6th and 7th values = (2 + 2) ÷ 2 = 2 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct ordering or identification, [1] for correct answer.

Question 9

(a) Total of five numbers = 20 × 5 = 100

Sum of four numbers = 15 + 18 + 24 + 23 = 80

Fifth number = 100 − 80 = 20 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for finding total, [1] for correct subtraction.

(b) New mean = 20 + 3 = 23 [1]

Adding a constant to every value shifts the mean by that constant.

(c) New mean = 20 × 2 = 40 [1]

Multiplying every value by a constant multiplies the mean by that constant.

Question 10

(a) Total height of 8 students = 8 × 155 = 1240 cm [1]

(b) Total height of 9 students = 9 × 157 = 1413 cm [1]

(c) Height of new student = 1413 − 1240 = 173 cm [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct subtraction, [1] for correct answer with units.

Question 11

(a) P(4) = 1/6 [1]

(b) Even numbers: 2, 4, 6 → P(even) = 3/6 = 1/2 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying 3 even numbers, [1] for correct probability.

(c) P(>6) = 0 (no face shows a number greater than 6) [1]

(d) P(<7) = 6/6 = 1 (all outcomes are less than 7; this is a certain event) [1]

Question 12

Total marbles = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10

(a) P(red) = 5/10 = 1/2 [1]

(b) P(blue) = 3/10 [1]

(c) P(yellow) = 0/10 = 0 (there are no yellow marbles) [1]

(d) P(red or green) = (5 + 2)/10 = 7/10 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for adding frequencies, [1] for correct probability.

(e) Red is most likely because it has the highest number of marbles (5 out of 10), giving the greatest probability. [1]

Question 13

The word PROBABILITY has 11 letters: P, R, O, B, A, B, I, L, I, T, Y

(a) 11 letters [1]

(b) Vowels: O, A, I, I → 4 vowels. P(vowel) = 4/11 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying 4 vowels, [1] for correct probability.

(c) B appears 2 times. P(B) = 2/11 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying 2 B's, [1] for correct probability.

(d) P(not B) = 1 − 2/11 = 9/11 [1]

Question 14

Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

(a) Prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7 → 4 primes. P(prime) = 4/8 = 1/2 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying 4 primes, [1] for correct probability.

(b) Multiples of 3: 3, 6 → 2 values. P(multiple of 3) = 2/8 = 1/4 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying multiples of 3, [1] for correct probability.

(c) The only number that is both prime and a multiple of 3 is 3. P = 1/8 [1]

(d) No, the events are not mutually exclusive because the number 3 is both prime and a multiple of 3. Since P(prime AND multiple of 3) = 1/8 ≠ 0, the events can occur together. [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct conclusion, [1] for valid explanation.

Question 15

(a) Possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, TT [2]

Marking: Award [2] for all 4 correct, [1] for any 2–3 correct.

(b) P(two heads) = P(HH) = 1/4 [1]

(c) P(exactly one head) = P(HT or TH) = 2/4 = 1/2 [1]

(d) P(at least one head) = P(HH, HT, or TH) = 3/4 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying 3 favourable outcomes, [1] for correct probability.

Question 16

(a) Score 4 appeared most often (frequency 15) [1]

(b) P(4) ≈ 15/60 = 1/4 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct fraction, [1] for simplification.

(c) Odd numbers: 1, 3, 5. Frequency = 8 + 12 + 9 = 29

P(odd) ≈ 29/60 = 29/60 [2]

(d) Expected frequency of 6 = (6/60) × 300 = 30 times [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct proportion, [1] for correct answer.

Question 17

Let M = Mathematics, S = Science.

n(M) = 18, n(S) = 15, n(neither) = 5, Total = 30

(a) n(at least one) = 30 − 5 = 25

n(M ∪ S) = n(M) + n(S) − n(M ∩ S)

25 = 18 + 15 − n(M ∩ S)

n(M ∩ S) = 33 − 25 = 8 students [3]

Marking: Award [1] for finding n(at least one), [1] for correct formula, [1] for correct answer.

(b) Mathematics only = 18 − 8 = 10

P(Mathematics only) = 10/30 = 1/3 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for finding 10, [1] for correct probability.

(c) P(at least one) = 25/30 = 5/6 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for 25, [1] for simplification.

Question 18

(a) Modal class = 10 – 14 (highest frequency, 12) [1]

(b)

Class	Midpoint (x)	Frequency (f)	f × x
5 – 9	7	6	42
10 – 14	12	12	144
15 – 19	17	10	170
20 – 24	22	8	176
25 – 29	27	4	108

Total f × x = 42 + 144 + 170 + 176 + 108 = 640

Mean ≈ 640 ÷ 40 = 16 minutes [4]

Marking: Award [1] for correct midpoints, [1] for correct f×x values, [1] for correct sum, [1] for correct division.

(c) Students who took 20 min or more = 8 + 4 = 12

P(≥20 min) ≈ 12/40 = 3/10 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct frequency count, [1] for correct probability.

Question 19

(a) P(yellow) = 1 − 0.4 − 0.35 = 0.25 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct subtraction from 1, [1] for correct answer.

(b) Number of red counters = 0.4 × 80 = 32 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct multiplication, [1] for answer with context.

(c) Number of yellow counters = 0.25 × 80 = 20 [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct multiplication, [1] for answer with context.

(d) When the first counter is not replaced, the total number of counters decreases from 80 to 79. This changes the denominator for the second pick, so the probabilities for the second pick depend on what was picked first. The events are not independent. [2]

Marking: Award [1] for mentioning the total changes, [1] for explaining dependence.

Question 20

(a) Mean of Team A = (45 + 52 + 38 + 60 + 48 + 55) ÷ 6 = 298 ÷ 6 = 49.7 points (or 49 2/3) [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct sum, [1] for correct division.

(b) Mean of Team B = (42 + 50 + 44 + 58 + 50 + 46) ÷ 6 = 290 ÷ 6 = 48.3 points (or 48 1/3) [2]

Marking: Award [1] for correct sum, [1] for correct division.

(c) Range of Team A = 60 − 38 = 22 points [1]

(d) Range of Team B = 58 − 42 = 16 points [1]

(e) Team B performed more consistently because it has a smaller range (16 compared to 22). A smaller range indicates that the scores are closer together and less spread out, meaning more consistent performance. [2]

Marking: Award [1] for identifying Team B, [1] for linking smaller range to consistency.
