3 The heating quality of the coal in a sample of 50 sacks is measured in suitable units. The data are summarised below.
Heating quality \(( x )\)\(9.1 \leqslant x \leqslant 9.3\)\(9.3 < x \leqslant 9.5\)\(9.5 < x \leqslant 9.7\)\(9.7 < x \leqslant 9.9\)\(9.9 < x \leqslant 10.1\)

  1. Draw a cumulative frequency diagram to illustrate these data.
  2. Use the diagram to estimate the median and interquartile range of the data.
  3. Show that there are no outliers in the sample.
  4. Three of these 50 sacks are selected at random. Find the probability that
    (A) in all three, the heating quality \(x\) is more than 9.5 ,
    \(( B )\) in at least two, the heating quality \(x\) is more than 9.5.
