Question 1

The cumulative frequency distribution of the volume of petrol needed to fill the tanks of 150 different
vehicles is shown below.
Volume (litres) Cumulative Frequency
11- 20 24
21 – 30 59
31 – 40 101
41 – 50 129
51 – 60 150

(i) Lower class boundary
(ii) Class width
(b) How many vehicles were recorded in the class 31 – 40?
(c) A vehicle is chosen at random from the 150 vehicles. What is the probability that the volume of petrol
needed to fill its tank is more than 50.5 litres?
(d) Bryon estimates the median amount of petrol to be 43.5 litres. Explain why Bryon’s estimate is
incorrect.
