10 #Yes. Each pattern increases by 3 squares (the term-to-term rule is ‘add

6 Planning and collecting data

F Exercise 6.1  Identifying data


1 a More men than women watch sport on the TV.
b Silver is the most popular colour of car that is sold.
c Girls are better than boys at estimating the masses of different objects.
d The more you revise, the better your exam result will be.
2 a 1. For example: Boys are better than girls at maths.
2. #For example: ‘Are you a boy or girl?’, ‘What maths group are you in?’,
‘What were your percentage marks in
the last two maths tests?’
3. For example: maths test marks of boys and girls
4. For example: survey students, survey maths teachers for opinions
5. For example: 80, 40 boys and 40 girls
6. For example: test marks in percentages
b For example: age, maths set, good at other subjects too, like teacher, like
school
c For example: He won’t know the age, maths set or ability most of the other
students in the sample, so it will be
difficult to compare fairly.
3 a 1. For example: The letter ‘e’ is the most commonly used letter in
the book.
2. For example: Is ‘e’ the most commonly used letter in the book?
3. For example: how many of each letter of the alphabet are in the book
4. For example: use a tally chart
5. For example: 12 pages (10% of 120 pages)
6. For example: tally every letter in the pages chosen
b For example: Is 12 pages enough? Has she chosen pages with pictures? Has
she chosen pages without pictures?
Should she bother to tally less usual letters such as q, y, k, z and x?
c The tally chart will be very large with lots of information on it; she may
get confused and put a tally in the
wrong row, although a few errors may not affect the final outcome.
4 a #Need an equal number of boys and girls in the sample. Need to have a
wide range of students, not just good
mathematicians.
b She lives a long way from her school, students from nearby may not use a
bus. She needs to ask students who
live a variety of distances from her school, choosing 52 students (10%
sample) at random.

F Exercise 6.2  Types of data


1 a Secondary. Sasha can’t measure children from 50 years ago.
b Primary. Easy to do a survey.
c Secondary. Impossible for one person to measure the rainfall in the whole
of India.
d Either: Secondary. Can’t find this information for the whole
country/world.
Or: Primary. Could survey the people in street/school/church, etc. what
make of TV they have.
e Secondary. There are millions of government employees.
f Either: Secondary. Can’t find this information for the whole
country/world.
Or: Primary. Could survey all 15-year-old students in my area/school
g Either: Secondary. Can’t find this information for the whole
country/world.
Or: Primary. Could ask a sample of the people in street/school/church,
etc. about their shoe size.
h Either: Secondary. Can’t find this information for the whole
country/world.
Or: Primary. Could survey the people in street/school/church, etc. how
many visits to the dentist
they made last year.
2 a For example: People in the USA and Europe are similar, so they would
have similar taste in car colour.
b For example: Different cars are sold in different parts of the world, so the
most popular colours
may be different too.

Please note that calculating the mean of grouped data is beyond the scope of
the syllabus and will not be
tested. But, you can inform students, if you wish, that it is only possible
to find an estimate of the mean from
grouped data.
c Xavier could be correct. The range is between 40 (99.5 – 59.5) and 80 (119.5

3 a 2.58 b The range for League One is 5 goals; for
League two it is 4 goals.
4 The most useful average is the mode, which is 38 cm.
5 The median salary is $29 500. The mean is $33 000, which is affected by three
very high values.
6 The modal class is 110–120 minutes
7 T
# he summer mean is 5.3 and the winter mean is 11.4. On average there are about
twice as many breakdowns
in the winter. The summer range is 7 and the winter range is 13. There is
greater variation in the winter.
8 a The means are 87.7, 89.9 and 91.0 minutes. Andi is fastest, on
average. Bart has the fastest single time.
b The ranges are 8, 22 and 3 minutes. Chris is the most consistent.
9 O
# bi sent more messages (134 compared to 84) and on average they were longer

12 Tessellations, transformations and loci

F Exercise 12.1  Tessellating shapes


1 Chek students’ diagrams showing tessellations of each shape.
2 Exterior angle = 360° ÷ 6 = 60°
Interior angle = 180° − 60° = 120°
Angles around a point = 360°, 360 ÷ 120 = 3 hexagons
Three hexagons will fit around a point, leaving no gaps.
3 a Exterior angle = 360° ÷ 8 = 45°
Interior angle = 180° − 45° = 135°
Angles around a point = 360°, 360 ÷ 135 = 2.6... hexagons
Only two octagons will fit around a point, leaving a gap of 360° − 270°
= 90°.
b Same working as for part a.
Only two octagons will fit around a point, leaving a gap of 360° − 270°
= 90°.
A square tile has an interior angle of 90°, so will fit around a point
with two octagons, leaving no space.

that 50% of his daily sales were 57 ice-creams or more, compared to only
46 for the City car park. His mode
was also higher. The range was smaller, showing that his sales were more
consistent, however it was at the City
car park where he had his highest daily sale of 69 ice-creams.

For example: Website A and Website B both had the same mode and almost the
same median. The median for
Website B was only one more than Website A, so this average is almost the
same. The mean was also very similar
with only a difference of 2.8 hits per day. So on average Website B had
slightly more hits than Website A. Website
B’s range is a lot higher than Website A, showing that the number of hits it
had per day varied a lot more.
c Example: They could use either website. Website A was more consistent.
Website B was only slightly better on
average than Website A.

F Exercise 19.5  Comparing distributions and drawing conclusions


1 F
# or example: The heights of the Stage 7 students are more varied. There were no
Stage 8 students between 120 cm
and 130 cm tall, compared with three Stage 7 students. The greatest difference
was between 160 cm and 170 cm
tall where there were nine more Stage 8 students than Stage 7 students.
2 F
# or example: The number of goals scored at home matches was less varied than at
away matches i.e. they were
more consistent at home. The greatest number of goals they scored at a home
match was 5 (twice), compared
to 4 (once) at an away match. They never scored less than 2 goals at a home
match, whereas at 9 away matches
they scored less than 2 goals.
3 a #For example: The scatter graph showing monthly milk production and
average daytime temperature has
positive correlation. The scatter graph showing monthly milk production and
average rainfall has negative
correlation.
b Yes, because the graphs show that in warmer months more milk is produced,
and in wetter months less
milk is produced.
c
Mode Median Range Mean
2010 59 000 59 000 20 000 63 000
2011 52 000 61 000 17 000 60 700
For example: Claude is correct because the mean milk production was
higher in 2010 than 2011, so on average
his cows produced more milk per month. Although the median was higher in
2011, there were a few months
when milk production was low and so the overall mean was less than for
2010. The range in 2011 was less than
2010, which means that milk production in 2011 was more consistent.
4 a #For example: In 1960 there were more people aged under 40 years in the
village, compared to 2010. In 2010
there were 8 people in the village over the age of 80, compared with none in
1960. There were nine times as
many people aged 60 to 80 in the village in 2010 as there were in 1960.
b In 1960, 37 were over the age of 40 out of 158 altogether, 37 × 100 = 23.4%
(approx 25%)
158
In 2010, 96 were over the age of 40 out of 162 altogether, 96 × 100 =
59.3% (approx 60%)
162
Yes they are correct.
c For example: People are living longer, so there are more people in the older
age ranges. The number of young
people may be declining as they move to towns or cities to look for work.

b The range is the same for the boys and the girls so they are both as
varied as each other. The median and the
mean for the boys and girls are all over 60 seconds. The boys’ mean and
median are higher than the girls’. The
girls’ mean and median are closer to 60 seconds. The girls’ mode is only
4 seconds under 60 seconds, whereas
the boys’ mode is 7 seconds over 60 seconds.
c No, the boys’ median is higher, but is further away from 60 seconds,
as is their mean, so the boys are worse at
estimating 60 seconds.
