The masses of bags of rice on the shelf of a shop were as follows:

20kg; 5kg; 10kg; 5kg; 10kg; 20kg; 25kg; 50kg; 10kg

a) Find the modal mass [1]

b) Find the median mass [1]

c) Find the mean mass [1]

d) Calculate the range [1]

e) Calculate the interquartile range [2]

2. The information in the following table shows examination marks for a class of 50 pupils
from a secondary school in Harare.

0-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-100

Marks
Frequency 4 8 12 13 6 5 2

a) What is the modal class [1]

b) Represent the information on a frequency polygon [4]

c) Represent the information on a cumulative frequency curve (ogive) [5]

d) Hence using the cumulative frequency curve in (c) above, estimate the median
mark [2]

e) Estimate the mean mark [4]

f) Copy and complete the following table [3]

g) On a sheet of graph paper draw a histogram with frequency density plotted

against the marks of the pupils. Use a scale of 2cm to represent 10 marks on
the x-axis and 4cm to represent 1 unit on the y-axis [5]
