PAPER 2 A set of examination marks x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6 has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 1.5. (a) Find (i) the sum of the marks, x , (ii) the sum of the squares of the marks, x 2 . [3 marks] (b) Each mark is multiplied by 2 and then 3 is added to it. Find, for the new set of marks, (i) the mean, (ii) the variance. [4 marks] A set of data consists of 10 numbers. The sum of the numbers is 150 and the sum of the squares of the numbers is 2472. a. Find the mean and variance of the 10 numbers, [3 marks] b. Another number is added to the set of data and the mean is increased by 1. Find (i) the value of this number, (ii) the standard deviation of the set of 11 numbers. [4 marks] 3

(b) Use the graph paper to answer this question. Using a scale of 2 cm to 10 scores on the horizontal axis and 2 cm to 2 pupils on the vertical axis, draw a histogram to represent the frequency distribution of the scores, find the mode score. [4 marks] (c) What is the mode score if the score of each pupil is increased by 5? [1 mark]

(a) Use graph paper to answer this part of the question. Using a scale of 2 cm to 10 marks on the horizontal axis and 2 cm to 2 students on the vertical axis, draw a histogram to represent the frequency distribution of the marks in above table. Hence, find the mode mark. [4 marks] (b) Calculate the standard deviation of the marks. [4 marks]
