students in group 1.

(a) Find the median and the range of the marks of group 1.
(2 marks)
(b) For the same test, the test results in group 2 are shown below:

Stem (tens) Leaf (units)

3 1 3 7 9 9
4 5 8 9
6 2 3 c

It is known that the median and the range of the test results of two groups are the
same.
(i) Write down the values of a, b and c.
(ii) Find the inter-quartile range of group 2.
(iii) From each group, a student is randomly chosen as the interviewees of
two groups. If the probability of the sum of marks of these two
interviewees at least 130 is , find the number of students in group 1
getting marks higher than 60.
