  1. The histogram shows the times taken, \(t\) minutes, by each of 100 people to swim 500 metres. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{c316fa29-dedc-4890-bd82-31eb0bb819f9-02_986_1070_342_424}
    1. Use the histogram to complete the frequency table for the times taken by the 100 people to swim 500 metres.
    Time taken ( \(\boldsymbol { t }\) minutes)\(5 - 10\)\(10 - 14\)\(14 - 18\)\(18 - 25\)\(25 - 40\)
    Frequency ( \(\boldsymbol { f }\) )101624
  2. Estimate the number of people who took less than 16 minutes to swim 500 metres.
  3. Find an estimate for the mean time taken to swim 500 metres. Given that \(\sum f t ^ { 2 } = 41033\)
  4. find an estimate for the standard deviation of the times taken to swim 500 metres. Given that \(Q _ { 3 } = 23\)

  1. The histogram below shows the distribution of the heights, to the nearest cm , of 408 plants. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{86446ce3-496a-4f02-9566-9b207bac9efa-02_1001_1473_340_296}
    1. Use the histogram to complete the following table.
    Height \(( h\) cm)\(5 \leqslant h < 9\)\(9 \leqslant h < 13\)\(13 \leqslant h < 15\)\(15 \leqslant h < 17\)\(17 \leqslant h < 25\)
    Frequency32152120
  2. Use interpolation to estimate the median. The mean height of these plants is 13.2 cm correct to one decimal place.
  3. Describe the skew of these data. Give a reason for your answer. Two of these plants are chosen at random.
  4. Estimate the probability that both of their heights are between 8 cm and 14 cm

\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a histogram for the variable \(t\) which represents the time taken, in minutes, by a group of people to swim 500 m .
  1. Complete the frequency table for \(t\).
    \(t\)\(5 - 10\)\(10 - 14\)\(14 - 18\)\(18 - 25\)\(25 - 40\)
    Frequency101624
  2. Estimate the number of people who took longer than 20 minutes to swim 500 m .
  3. Find an estimate of the mean time taken.
  4. Find an estimate for the standard deviation of \(t\).
  5. Find the median and quartiles for \(t\). One measure of skewness is found using \(\frac { 3 ( \text { mean } - \text { median } ) } { \text { standard deviation } }\).
  6. Evaluate this measure and describe the skewness of these data.
