Q1. A technician decides to measure and record the lengths of 50 fiber-optic cables. The results are shown in the
frequency table:

(a) Calculate the class width and frequency density.

Lengths (cm) Frequency Class Width Frequency Density

20 ≤ L < 30 5

30 ≤ L < 50 20

50 ≤ L < 85 14

85 ≤ L < 95 11

(b) Represent the information on the diagram below:

(c) Estimate the number of cables whose lengths are between 20 cm and 40 cm.
Q2. One hundred students sat for a test. The times taken by the students to complete the test are summarized in the
table.

(a) Calculate the class width and frequency density.

Time ( ) Number of Students Class Width Frequency Density

0 ≤ t < 25 20

25 ≤ t < 35 11

35 ≤ t < 40 27

40 ≤ t < 60 15

60 ≤ t < 90 15

90 ≤ t < 100 12

(b) Represent the information on the diagram below:

10 20 30 40 60 70 80 90
Q3. The time at which the first goal was scored in a number of football matches was recorded.
The incomplete table and histogram give information about the time interval in which the first goal was scored and
the number of matches in which the first goal was scored in that interval.

a) Use the histogram to complete the table.

b) Use the table to complete the histogram.

Q4. 185 goals were scored in the matches of a football tournament. The table shows some information about the
number of goals scored in particular time intervals of the matches.

A histogram is to be drawn to show this information. The frequency density of the bar representing the time interval
45 < t ≤ 70 is 3.0, as shown in the diagram.

a) Complete the histogram.

b) Calculate an estimate of the number of goals scored in the first 20 minutes of the matches.
