Range = High−Low = 43

Since the median (155) is closer to the lower

quartile (150) and lower extreme (140) than the

upper equivalents, it is positively skewed.

⇒ Median is the average of 11th and 12th scores

∴ Median =45 + 47

2= 46

Interquartile range = 6 −2

= 4

Upper quartile = 5

∴  75% of girls spend 5 or less hours

5-6 hours for girls accounts for 25% of all girls.

5-6 hours for boys accounts for 25% of all boys,

(median to the upper quartile represents 25%.)

⇒ This will only be the same number if the number of

all girls surveyed equals the number of boys surveyed.

Outlier is 71

Lower quartile = 9   (4th female data point)

Upper quartile = 20   (11th female data point)

∴ Interquartile range (female) = 20 − 11 = 9

Skewness

Times without tolls shows virtually no skewness

Terry's results are more positively skewed than

Kim's and also have a higher limit high.

However, Kim's results are more consistent,

showing a tighter IQR. They also have a

significantly higher median than Terry's and

are evenly skewed.

∴  Kim's results were better.

Since the median = 12 years

⇒ 50% of children are aged 12-18 years

∴  # Children 12-18 = 50 % × 1750

= 875

Upper quartile (2010) = 12 years

# Children in upper quartile = 875(from part (i))

∴  # Children aged 0-18 = 4 × 875

= 3500

Changes in distribution (only 2 req'd)

- the lower quartile age is lower in 2010

- the median is lower in 2010

- the upper quartile age is lower in 2010

- the interquartile range is greater in 2010

- 2010 is positively skewed while 2000 is negatively

Implication for government planning

- since the children are getting younger in 2010,

approve and build more childcare facilities

- Build more school and public playgrounds.

Skewness

- English has greater negative skew

- Maths is more normally distributed

Location and Spread

- English has a range of 85, Maths has 40.

- English has larger IQR than Maths (30 vs 15)

- Maths’ Median (75) is higher than English (70)

- Same upper quartile marks (80)
