Revision Questions – from past exams and tests

Question 1 [7 marks – 1, 4, 2]
The parallel boxplots below display the NAPLAN results of eight year 9 classes, and a final box plot where all the
results have Need to prove that
been combined AM=MC
together. Unfortunately, in haste, the classes have been jumbled up, and the class
names have been
AF=CEremoved. (Given)
∠ MAF =∠ MCE ( Alternate )
∠ MFA =∠ MEC ( Alternate )
∠ AMF =∠CME (VerticallyOpposite )

⇒ Δ AMF ≃ΔCME ( AAS )

∴ AM=MC (CPCTC )

In that particular year group, there were one (1) AE class, one (1) Pathway 1 class, four(4) Pathway 2 classes and two
(2) Pathway 3 classes.

(a) Identify which box represents the combined results, giving reason(s).

(b) Identify the ability level (ie AE, Pathway 1, Pathway 2 or Pathway 3) of each of the remaining box plots. Justify
how you arrived at your answer.

(c) To pre-qualify for OLNA, students had to achieve Band 8 or higher. This corresponds to achieving a raw score
above 580. One researcher looked at the results and concluded that “37% of the students in Year Nine pre-
qualified for OLNA”. If this statement is wrong, what could be the reasons?
Question 2 [8 marks – 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]
Students’ performances for two tests were compared against each other in the scatter graph shown below.

Six students were absent on the day of the second test, with five of the six students able to complete it on the
following day. Their results are shown below.

Student AM PG WN AT DJ CD
Test 1 Result (%) 80% 47% 53% 26% 54% 42%
Test 2 Result (%) 78% 41% 63% 45% 57%

(a) Complete the scatter graph by adding in the points for the five students
(b) Circle the data point that would be considered an outlier.
(c) Select the 3 words that best describe the relationship shown by the two test results.
 Perfect  Negative  Linear
 Strong  Positive  Non Linear
 Moderate
 Weak
 No Correlation
(d) Draw a line of best fit, ignoring the outlier.

(e) Daniel Johnson was unable to complete test 2 due to medical reasons. Use your line of best fit to estimate a
score for him.

For each tree, state:

P(a B and W in any order)
P(a White is drawn first given the 2nd marble is Black)
P(a White is drawn 2nd, given the 1st marble is Black)
Question 6
