    Measures of Location & Spread (v1)


    Total Marks: 18
    (18 = Platinum, 16 = Gold, 14 = Silver, 13 = Bronze)

    1. The data below shows the ages 𝒙 of various people in the queue at a post office.
    13 17 17 20 21 29 36 45

    a. What is the mean age? (1)


    b. What is the standard deviation of the age? (2)
    𝑥−10
    c. The data is coded using 𝑦 = 3
    . Determine the mean and standard
    deviation of 𝑦. (2)

    2. The table shows the orbit durations, to the nearest year, of different comets.

    Time (years) 𝑡 1-10 11-20 21-25 26-40 41-60


    Number of comets 𝑓 2 5 7 4 12
    You may use Σ𝑓𝑡 2 = 39923.75

    a. Calculate the mean orbit time of a comet. (2)


    b. Use linear interpolation to estimate the median orbit time of a comet. (2)
    c. Show that the lower quartile is 20.9 years. (1)
    d. Find the interquartile range of the orbit times. (2)
    e. Find the standard deviation of the orbit time of a comet. (2)
    f. Ten more comets were added to the data, all with an orbit period of 20 years. Calculate the
    new mean. (2)
    g. There was a measurement error, and the orbit period of each comet should have been
    recorded as 5 years longer. Describe the effect on your answers to (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e).
