(e) Find all the quartiles of the heights of students. (4 marks)

Lower Quartile = 160 cm
Median = 165.5 cm
Upper Quartile = 169 cm

(f) How many students are taller than 172.5 cm? (3 marks)
Number of students that are taller than 172.5 cm = (40-35)
=5

2. The diagram below shows the time that the staff of a company spend to go to work every day.

(a) What kind of diagram is it? (1 mark)

Cumulative Frequency Polygon

(b) How many staff are there in the company? (1 mark)

50

(c) What is the median and 80 percentile of time spent by the staff on going to work? (3 mark)
Median = 1.2 h
80 percentile = 1.9 h

(d) What is the percentage of staff that spend 1.05 to 2.05 hours to go to work? (4 mark)
Number of staff that spend 1.05 to 2.05 hours to go to work = 44 – 23
= 21
21
Percentage of staff that spend 1.05 to 2.05 hours to go to work = × 100%
50
= 42%

(e) If traveling allowances would be given to staff that spend more than 2 hours to go to (3 mark)
work, what is the percentage of the staff that can receive traveling allowances?
Number of staff that spend more than 2 hours to go to work = 7
7
Percentage of the staff that can receive traveling allowances = × 100%
50
= 14%
