Question 1 A Question 2 D
Having or not having a water tank or having one
on order is categorical data. Scatter plots and

2
histograms are used when both variables are
numerical. For a stem and leaf you need two

y
categories, but there are three categories here.

You cannot find the median, lower quartile, etc.

so cannot draw a box plot. Bar graphs are used
for categorical data.

t−

Question 3 C Question 4 C
A long whisker to the left indicates the box plot 99.7% lie within 3 standard deviations of the
is negatively skewed. mean, so 0.3% lie outside this range. Half of
The interquartile range = 80  60 = 20 0.3% = 0.15%. this means 0.15% lie above 3
standard deviations above the mean.
43 + 3  15 = 88.
So the lowest mark for an A is 88

l
Question 5 A Question 6 B
The standard deviation remains at 5 g., because

u
the spread is unaltered. The mean weight of
each bag is increased by 2g to 452g.

But the gradient of the line is negative, (0.73)

so the correlation coefficient must be negative
r = 0.36

Question 7 B
Draw 2 vertical lines so that there are 3 points to
the left of the first vertical line, 4 points in the
middle, and 3 points to the right of the last
vertical line.
Question 8 E
The gradient is approximately 28.
This means that for every dollar increase in
fares, the number of passengers decreased by 28.

Question 9 D
For y versus x the graph would look like A or C, not B. However, the graph would contain the
point (1,2). Hence, not A, B, or C.
For y versus log x the graph would look like D or E but would contain the point (1,5).
Hence, D

Question 11 D
Page 2

To use seasonal indices, there must be a secular

trend and the variation must be seasonal.

Question 13 A
The median of the first three points is 600 so the
point (1985,600) should lie on the graph, hence
not C, D or E. The median of points 3,4, and 5
is 450, so the third point on the smoothed graph
should be (1995,450). Hence A

Eqn of cost C = mx +c
Points on cost line are (0,400) and (200,600)

When x = 150, C = 150 + 400 = 550

When x = 150, R = 3  150 = 450
Therefore, loss = 100

Question 9 B
B,C,D,G lie on the critical path because their float time is zero. Hence, A is not true.
If all the crash times are implemented, only those on the critical path will reduce the overall time of

for the project is the length of the critical path so E is not true. E does not lie on the critical path, so
it does not affect the overall time of the project.
