    The document summarizes statistics skills related to representing single-variable data through diagrams. It includes a question about a fun run involving children from two schools, School A and School B. For School A, 75% of children completed the run in 40 minutes. For School B, the minimum and maximum times were 25 and 55 minutes, with quartiles at 30, 37, and 50 minutes. There are no outliers based on an interquartile range calculation. A horizontal box plot is drawn to represent School B's data for comparison with School A. The two distributions are then compared and contrasted in context.

    AS MATHS – Statistics: UNIT 2b: Representing Data Name: ____________________

    Skill Attained?
    2b (i) Interpret diagrams for single-variable data

    Q1 Children from schools A and B took part in a fun run for charity. The times, to the nearest
    minute, taken by the children from school A are summarised in the figure below.
    Figure 2

    a Write down the time by which 75% of the children in school A had completed the run. (1 mark)

    For school B the least time taken by any of the children was 25 minutes and the longest time was 55 minutes.
    The three quartiles were 30, 37 and 50 minutes respectively.

    b Use Q3 + 1.5(Q3 – Q1) and Q1 – 1.5(Q3 – Q1) to determine if there are any outliers. Give a reason for your
    conclusion. (3 marks)
    c Draw a horizontal box plot to represent the data from school B so the distribution of the times taken for the
    fun run by children in school B can easily be compared to school A. (3 marks)

    d Compare and contrast the two distributions in context. (3 marks)
