Answer Key - Secondary 3 Elementary Mathematics Quiz (Statistics Probability)

IQR = 11. $Q1 = 7, Q3 = 18$ . $IQR = 18 - 7 = 11$ . (2 marks)
18. Total for 5 = $5 \times 12 = 60$ . Total for 6 = $6 \times 13 = 78$ . Sixth number = $78 - 60 = 18$ . (2 marks)
$\sigma \approx 4.58$ . $\bar{x} = 120/10 = 12$ . $\sigma = \sqrt{(3100/10) - 12^2} = \sqrt{310 - 144} = \sqrt{166} \approx 12.88$ (Wait, recalculating: $\sum x^2/n - (\sum x/n)^2 = 310 - 144 = 166$ . $\sqrt{166} \approx 12.88$ ). (3 marks)
40. Median is the 50th percentile. $0.5 \times 80 = 40$ . (2 marks)
15. $50 - 35 = 15$ . (2 marks)
Set A. Because it has a smaller standard deviation (4.2 < 7.8), meaning the data is more closely clustered around the mean. (3 marks)
1.7 goals. $\text{Mean} = \frac{(0\times3) + (1\times6) + (2\times5) + (3\times4) + (4\times2)}{20} = \frac{0+6+10+12+8}{20} = \frac{36}{20} = 1.8$ . (3 marks)
$\sigma \approx 1.25$ . $\sum fx^2 = (0^2\times3) + (1^2\times6) + (2^2\times5) + (3^2\times4) + (4^2\times2) = 0+6+20+36+32 = 94$ . $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{94}{20} - 1.8^2} = \sqrt{4.7 - 3.24} = \sqrt{1.46} \approx 1.21$ . (4 marks)
85. Total needed for 5 tests = $5 \times 80 = 400$ . Current total = $60+72+85+90 = 307$ . Fifth test = $400 - 307 = 93$ . (4 marks)
$1/2$ . Prime numbers: $\{2, 3, 5\}$ . $3/6 = 1/2$ . (2 marks)
$7/10$ . Total = 10. Non-blue = $5+2 = 7$ . $P = 7/10$ . (2 marks)
$3/4$ . Sample space: $\{HH, HT, TH, TT\}$ . At least one head: $\{HH, HT, TH\}$ . $3/4$ . (3 marks)
0.12. $0.4 \times 0.3 = 0.12$ . (2 marks)
0.7. $0.25 + 0.45 = 0.7$ . (2 marks)
$5/28$ . Even numbers: $\{2, 4, 6, 8\}$ . $P = \frac{4}{8} \times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{12}{56} = \frac{3}{14}$ . (4 marks)
$48/100 = 12/25$ . $P(W,B) + P(B,W) = (\frac{4}{10} \times \frac{6}{10}) + (\frac{6}{10} \times \frac{4}{10}) = \frac{24}{100} + \frac{24}{100} = \frac{48}{100} = \frac{12}{25}$ . (4 marks)
0.52. $P(\text{at least one}) = 1 - P(\text{none}) = 1 - (0.7 \times 0.6) = 1 - 0.42 = 0.58$ . (4 marks)
$1/4$ . $1 - (1/4 + 1/3 + 1/6) = 1 - (3/12 + 4/12 + 2/12) = 1 - 9/12 = 3/12 = 1/4$ . (2 marks)
$17/20$ . $n(C \cup T) = 12 + 10 - 5 = 17$ . $P = 17/20$ . (3 marks)
$4/9$ . Combinations: $HHT, HTH, THH$ . $P = 3 \times (\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}) = 3 \times \frac{4}{27} = \frac{12}{27} = \frac{4}{9}$ . (3 marks)
