3. The table shows the frequency distribution of the marks of a group of students.
Marks 1 10 11 20 21 30 31 40 41 50
Number of students 5 8 20 10 7
a. Use the graph paper to answer this part of the question.
Using a scale of 2cm to 10 marks on the horizontal axis and 2 cm to 2 students
on the vertical axis, draw a histogram to represent the frequency distribution of
the marks. [3]
Hence, find the modal mark. [1]
b. Use the graph paper to answer this part of the question.
Construct a cumulative frequency distribution table for the distribution of the
marks. [1]
Using a scale of 2cm to 10 marks on the horizontal axis and 2 cm to 5 students
on the vertical axis, draw an ogive. [3]
Hence, find the percentage number of students who passed the test if the
passing mark is 25. [2]
c. Calculate the mean mark. [2]
d. Calculate the standard deviation of the marks. [2]
4. The mean and standard deviation for the set of numbers x 1, x 2, x 3, , x n are
20 and 3 respectively.
Find the mean and standard deviation for the set of numbers
2x 1 3, 2x 2 3, 2x 3 3, , 2x n 3. [2]
6. The mean of four numbers is m . The sum of the squares of the four numbers is
100 and the standard deviation is 3k. Express m in terms of k.
