10 Statistics and probability

Edexcel IGCSE Math B 10 Statistics and probability question practice helps you revise this syllabus point with the course map in view. Use this page to focus on one topic, check the style of questions available, and connect each attempt back to the knowledge area it is testing.

EduNinja keeps Math B practice aligned to Edexcel, so you can move from topic review into exam-style question bank work without losing the syllabus structure. Start with a small set, mark the weak steps, then return to nearby topic links when a definition, graph, calculation, or explanation needs repair.

Charles asks each of the students in his class which flavour of ice cream they prefer.
There are 30 students in his class.
He uses the information he collects to draw this accurate pie chart.
Find how many of the 30 students prefer chocolate ice cream.

Question 2

On Monday, 150 students were asked how they got to school that morning.
Yuen is going to draw a pie chart for the results.
Given that 27 students said they got to school by bus on Monday, calculate the size, in degrees, of the angle of the sector in the pie chart for bus.

Question 2

Here are the numbers of items that the last 9 people who visited a shop bought.

61132024141120\begin{array}{lllllllll} 6 & 1 & 13 & 20 & 2 & 4 & 14 & 11 & 20 \end{array}

Find the median of these numbers of items.

Question 3

Here are four numbers written in order of size.
w,7,x,24w,\quad 7,\quad x,\quad 24
The range of the four numbers is 18.
The median of the four numbers is 10.
Find the value of w and the value of x.

Question 5

John is going to draw a bar chart for the number of red apples and the number of green apples on the trees in his garden.

The height of the bar in the bar chart for the 28 green apples is 7 cm .
There are 50 red apples on the trees in John's garden.
Calculate the height of the bar in the bar chart for the red apples.
