    Exercise 2E

    1 a CF = 4 8 10 17 37 61 71
    71 slow worms were measured.

    71
    b Q1 = = 17.75th value, so Q1 is in class 185 – 199
    4

    Q1 − 184.5 17.75 − 17
    =
    199.5 − 184.5 37 − 17

    Q1 – 184.5 = 0.5625

    Q1 = 185.0625

    71
    Q3 : 3 × = 53.25th value
    4
    So Q3 is in class 200 – 214

    Q3 − 199.5 53.25 − 37
    =
    214.5 − 199.5 61 − 37

    243.75
    Q3 – 199.5 =
    24

    Q3 = 209.656

    IQR = 209.656 − 185.0625


    = 24.6 (3 s.f.)

    (132 × 4) + (147 × 4) + (162 × 2) + (177 × 7) + (192 × 20) + (207 × 24) + (222 ×10)
    c x=
    71
    13 707
    =
    71
    = 193.1 mm (to 1 d.p.)

    d x + IQR = 193.1 + 24.6


    = 217.7

    217.7 is in the class interval 215−229

    Using interpolation:

    217.7 − 214.5 y − 61
    =
    229.5 − 214.5 71 − 61
    y = 63.13 …
    71 – y = 7.87

    7 slow worms have that length.

    2 a 34th: × 70 = 23.8
    100

    P34 − 1000 23.8 − 3


    =
    1100 − 1000 27 − 3

    P34 = 1086.7

    66
    66th: × 70 = 46.2
    100

    P66 − 1100 46.2 − 27


    =
    1200 − 1100 55 − 27

    P66 = 1168.57

    34% to 66% interpercentile range = P66 – P34 = 1168.57 – 1086.7 = £81.87

    b 46.2 − 23.8 = 22.4


    So 22 data values

    5
    3 a 5th: × 60 = 3
    100

    P5 − 14.5 3 − 0
    =
    16.5 − 14.5 5 − 0

    P5 = 15.7

    95
    95th: × 60 = 57
    100

    P95 − 20.5 57 − 50
    =
    22.5 − 20.5 60 − 50

    P95 = 21.9

    5% to 95% interpercentile range = 21.9 – 15.7 = 6.2

    b 57 − 3 = 54
    So 54 data values

    4 a Placing the temperatures in order gives:
    9.4 10.3 10.3 10.6 10.9 12.1 12.4 12.7 13.2 14.3
    n +1
    Median position =
    2
    10 + 1
    =
    2
    = 5.5
    The median lies at the midpoint of 10.9 and 12.1.
    10.9 + 12.1
    = 11.5
    2
    Therefore the median is 11.5°C.
    The lower quartile position is found using:
    n
    Q1 =
    4
    10
    =
    4
    = 2.5
    Round 2.5 up to 3, therefore Q1 lies at 10.3.
    The upper quartile position is found using:
    3n
    Q3 =
    4
    3 (10 )
    =
    4
    = 7.5
    Round up to 8, therefore Q3 lies at 12.7.
    IQR = Q3 – Q1
    = 12.7 – 10.3
    = 2.4°C

    b On average, the temperature was higher in June than in May (higher median). The temperature
    was more variable in May than June (higher IQR).

    c The 10th to 90th percentile represents 80% of the data, therefore


    31 × 0.8 = 24.8
    Therefore 25 days (to the nearest day).
