    The document discusses a table showing the distribution of marks scored by 600 pupils in an examination. It instructs the reader to plot the data values on a graph with scales of 1 cm for 50 pupils and 1 cm for 10 marks, and to draw a smooth curve through the plotted points. It then asks the reader to use the graph to estimate the median mark, the pass mark such that 60% of pupils will pass, and to indicate the upper and lower quartiles on the graph.

    Marks 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
    Number of
    pupils scoring
    9 27 88 180 308 415 497 568 590 600
    less than this
    mark

    Using a vertical scale of 1 cm for 50 pupils and a horizontal scale of 1 cm for 10 marks,
    plot these values and draw a smooth curve through your plotted points.

    a. Use your graph to estimate


    (i) the median mark,
    (ii) the pass mark such that 60% of the pupils will pass the examination.

    b. Indicate clearly the upper and the lower quartile on your graph.
