7 The times in minutes taken by 13 pupils at each of two schools in a cross-country race are recorded in the table below.
Thaters School38434852545657585861626675
Whitefay Park School45475356566164666973757883
  1. Draw a back-to-back stem-and-leaf diagram to illustrate these times with Thaters School on the left.
  2. Find the interquartile range of the times for pupils at Thaters School.
    The times taken by pupils at Whitefay Park School are denoted by \(x\) minutes.
  3. Find the value of \(\Sigma ( x - 60 ) ^ { 2 }\).
  4. It is given that \(\Sigma ( x - 60 ) = 46\). Use this result, together with your answer to part (iii), to find the variance of \(x\).
    If you use the following lined page to complete the answer(s) to any question(s), the question number(s) must be clearly shown.
