Paper Reference(s) 6683 Edexcel GCE Statistics S1 Advanced/Advanced Subsidiary Tuesday 2 November 2004 Morning Time: 1 hour 30 minutes Materials required for examination Items included with question papers Answer Book (AB16) Nil Graph Paper (ASG2) Mathematical Formulae (Lilac) Candidates may use any calculator EXCEPT those with the facility for symbolic algebra, differentiation and/or integration. Thus candidates may NOT use calculators such as the Texas Instruments TI 89, TI 92, Casio CFX 9970G, Hewlett Packard HP 48G. Instructions to Candidates In the boxes on the answer book, write the name of the examining body (Edexcel), your centre number, candidate number, the unit title (Statistics S1), the paper reference (6683), your surname, other name and signature. Values from the statistical tables should be quoted in full. When a calculator is used, the answer should be given to an appropriate degree of accuracy. Information for Candidates A booklet Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables is provided. Full marks may be obtained for answers to ALL questions. This paper has seven questions. Advice to Candidates You must ensure that your answers to parts of questions are clearly labelled. You must show sufficient working to make your methods clear to the Examiner. Answers without working may gain no credit. N16628A 2 1. As part of their job, taxi drivers record the number of miles they travel each day. A random sample of the mileages recorded by taxi drivers Keith and Asif are summarised in the back-to- back stem and leaf diagram below.

Keith Asif Lower quartile 191 a Median b 218 Upper quartile 221 c (a) Find the values of a, b and c. (3) Outliers are values that lie outside the limits Q 1 1.5(Q 3 Q 1 ) and Q 3 + 1.5(Q 3 Q 1 ). (b) On graph paper, and showing your scale clearly, draw a box plot to represent Keiths data. (8) (c) Comment on the skewness of the two distributions. (3) N16628A 3 Turn over 2. An experiment carried out by a student yielded pairs of (x, y) observations such that x = 36, y = 28.6, S xx = 4402, S xy = 3477.6 (a) Calculate the equation of the regression line of y on x in the form y = a + bx. Give your values of a and b to 2 decimal places. (3) (b) Find the value of y when x = 45. (1) 3. The random variable X ~ N(, 2 ). It is known that P(X s 66) = 0.0359 and P(X > 81) = 0.1151. (a) In the space below, give a clearly labelled sketch to represent these probabilities on a Normal curve. (1) (b) (i) Show that the value of is 5. (ii) Find the value of . (8) (c) Find P(69 s X s 83). (3) N16628A 4 4. The discrete random variable X has probability function P(X = x) =

The events A and B are such that P(A) = 2 1 , P(B) = 3 1 and P(A B) = 4 1 . (a) Using the space below, represent these probabilities in a Venn diagram. (4) Hence, or otherwise, find (b) P(A B), (1) (c) P(A|B') (2) N16628A 5 6. Students in Mr Brawns exercise class have to do press-ups and sit-ups. The number of press-ups x and the number of sit-ups y done by a random sample of 8 students are summarised below. Ex = 272, Ex 2 = 10164, Exy = 11222, Ey = 320, Ey 2 = 13464. (a) Evaluate S xx , S yy and S xy . (4) (b) Calculate, to 3 decimal places, the product moment correlation coefficient between x and y. (3) (c) Give an interpretation of your coefficient. (2) (d) Calculate the mean and the standard deviation of the number of press-ups done by these students. (4) Mr Brawn assumes that the number of press-ups that can be done by any student can be modelled by a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation . Assuming that and take the same values as those calculated in part (d), (e) find the value of a such that P( a < X < + a) = 0.95. (3) (f) Comment on Mr Brawns assumption of normality.

Time Number of students 4044 10 4547 15 48 23 4951 21 5255 16 5660 15 (a) Give a reason to support the use of a histogram to represent these data. (1) (b) Write down the upper class boundary and the lower class boundary of the class 4044. (1) (c) On graph paper, draw a histogram to represent these data. (4) END
