Question 1

[Maximum number: 5]

The following back-to-back stem-and-leaf diagram shows the annual salaries of a group of 39 females and 39 males.

Table

Key: 2 | 20 | 3 means $20200for females and $20300 for males.

Question 1(a)

(a)

Find the median and the quartiles of the females' salaries.

You are given that the median salary of the males is $ 24000, the lower quartile is $ 22600 and the upper quartile is $ 25300.

Question 1

[Maximum number: 3]

50 values of the variable x are summarised by

Σ(x20)=35 and Σx2=25036.\Sigma(x-20)=35 \quad \text { and } \quad \Sigma x^{2}=25036 .

Find the variance of these 50 values.

Question 1

[Maximum number: 4]

A summary of 50 values of x gives

Σ(xq)=700,Σ(xq)2=14235\Sigma(x-q)=700, \quad \Sigma(x-q)^{2}=14235

where q is a constant.
