1. The partially completed table below summarises the times taken by 120 job applicants
to complete a task.
A histogram is drawn.
The bar representing the 5 < t 7 has a width of 1 cm and a height of 5 cm.
(a) Given that the bar representing the group 14 < t 18 has a height of 4 cm, find the
frequency of this group.
(2)
(b) Showing your working, estimate the mean time taken by the 120 job applicants.
(3)
The lower quartile of the times is 9.6 minutes and the upper quartile of the times
is 15.5 minutes.
For these data, an outlier is classified as any value greater than Q3 + 1.5 ´ IQR.
(c) Showing your working, explain whether or not any of the times taken by these 120
job applicants might be classified as outliers.
(2)
Candidates with the fastest 5% of times for the task are given interviews.
(d) Estimate the time taken by a job applicant, below which they might be given an interview.

2. A local sports centre has showers with two temperature settings, warm and hot.
On the warm setting, the water temperature may be modelled by a Normal distribution
with mean 30 °C and standard deviation 2 °C
(a) Using the model, find the probability that the next time the shower is used on the
warm setting, the water temperature is
(i) exactly 31°C
(ii) more than 31°C
(2)
The sports centre manager thinks that a water temperature of more than 33 °C is too
high for the warm setting.
She tests the water temperature on the warm setting on 5 randomly selected days.
Given that the probability of the water temperature being more than 33 °C is 0.0668
(b) find the probability of the water temperature being more than 33 °C
(i) on only the first of these 5 days,
(2)
(ii) on more than 1 of these 5 days.
(3)
On the hot setting, the water temperature may be modelled by a Normal distribution
with standard deviation 1.5 °C
The probability that the water temperature is more than 42 °C is 0.0005
(c) Find the mean water temperature on this setting, giving your answer to 1 decimal place.

3. Sam is investigating the weather throughout the year in Hurn.
He uses the large data set to investigate the daily mean wind direction.
Sam believes that each cardinal wind direction is equally likely in Hurn.
(a) Assuming that Sam is correct,
(i) state the probability that the cardinal wind direction in Hurn on a randomly
selected day is NNE,
(1)
(ii) state the distribution that Sam should use to model the probability of each
cardinal wind direction in Hurn on a randomly selected day.
(1)
Sam decides to investigate the daily mean wind direction throughout the year.
(b) State a limitation of using the data for Hurn from the large data set as a sampling frame.
(1)
(c) Explain how to use simple random sampling to select 36 days from a year.
(2)
Sam defines the random variable X as the number of days out of 36 on which the daily
mean wind direction in Hurn is between the bearings 135° and 225°
Sam collects data from 36 randomly selected days and finds that x = 15
Sam carries out a hypothesis test at the 10% level of significance.
(d) Given that H0 : p = 0.25 and that the critical region is {X 4 ∪ X 14}
(i) state the alternative hypothesis, H1
(ii) giving a reason for your answer, explain what Sam should conclude about the
daily mean wind direction in Hurn.
