You have applied for a work placement at a local company

as part of your training as a [enter specific route] Engineer.
The company Training Manager has explained that there are
a number of roles available that involve applying
mathematical skills and knowledge. The Training Manager
has said that they would like to see how you approach
Vocational Scenario or solving engineering problems before deciding on the most
Context appropriate one for you. The final set of problems that they
have provided are based on statistics and probability
techniques, which they would like you to solve using the
supplied data.

The Training Manager has asked you to use the data for
Candidate number [write in candidate number]
Task 1 1. Use the ungrouped data that you have been supplied
with to complete the following:

(a) Arrange the data into equal classes

(b) Determine the frequency distribution
(c) Draw the frequency histogram
(d) Create a cumulative frequency table for the data

 (e) Draw the cumulative frequency graph
(f) Use your cumulative frequency graph to
determine if the data is normally distributed or
not?
(g) Calculate: i) the mean and standard deviation; ii)
the upper and lower quartile values; and iii) the
inter-quartile range for the given data.

2. Use the table of measurements of length and force that

you have been supplied with to complete the following
activities:

(a) Draw a scatter graph for your given data.

Describe what the scatter graph is indicating.
(b) Use the scatter graph to estimate the length for a
force of 57N
(c) Calculate the line of regression of extension on
force (Y on X)
(d) Calculate the regression coefficient
(e) Explain what the regression coefficient indicates?
(f) Use the equation for the line of regression to
predict the length for a force of 57N
(g) Compare the calculated value with the value that
you have determined from the scatter graph.

Checklist of evidence Your informal report should contain the worked solutions to
required the problems using the values given to you by your tutor.
Each worked solution should be laid out clearly and contain
brief explanations of the stages of the calculation to indicate
your understanding of the subject. Diagrams should be well
presented and clearly labelled.

The report is an informal report as it does not need to follow

the structure associated with a formal report of Abstract,
Contents, References etc. The solutions should be numbered
to match the questions, and be easy to follow.
Criteria covered by this task:
Unit/Criteria
To achieve the criteria you must show that you are able to:
reference
