The question, in short

Use a table of 30 students' book preferences to complete sector angles and a pie chart, find a probability, then answer questions on a stem-and-leaf diagram of 24 test scores.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Part (ai) · 2 marks

Calculate the pie chart sector angle for each book type and fill in the table.

  1. 1Each student = 360 ÷ 30 = 12°
  2. 2Joke = 8 × 12 = 96°
  3. 3Puzzle = 18 × 12 = 216°
  4. 4Poetry = 4 × 12 = 48°
  5. 5Sector angles: 96°, 216°, 48°

Answer96, 216, 48

Part (aii) · 2 marks

Draw the pie chart sectors on the circle using the angles found.

  1. 1Starting from the vertical radius, measure 96° and draw a radius for Joke
  2. 2From that radius measure 216° for Puzzle; the last sector is 48° for Poetry
  3. 3Label each sector

AnswerCorrect pie chart drawn

Part (aiii) · 1 mark

Find the probability that a randomly chosen student prefers puzzle books.

  1. 1P(puzzle) = 18/30

Answer18/30

Part (bi) · 1 mark

State the mode of the test scores from the stem-and-leaf diagram.

  1. 151 appears three times, more than any other score
  2. 2Mode = 51

Answer51

Part (bii) · 2 marks

Given 75% of 24 students pass, work out the lowest passing score.

  1. 1Number who pass = 75/100 × 24 = 18
  2. 2Number who fail = 24 − 18 = 6
  3. 3The 6 lowest scores are 22, 25, 26, 29, 33, 37
  4. 4Lowest pass score = the 7th score = 38

Answer38

Part (biii) · 1 mark

Calculate the range of the test scores.

  1. 1Range = 67 − 22 = 45

Answer45

Part (biv) · 2 marks

Frankie's score raises the range by 3 marks; find the two possible scores.

  1. 1New range = 45 + 3 = 48
  2. 2Either a new lowest: 67 − 48 = 19
  3. 3or a new highest: 22 + 48 = 70
  4. 4Frankie's score is 19 or 70

Answer19, 70
