QUESTION 1

The distances (in cm) of the best attempts of 11 long jump athletes during an athletics event
are given below:

287 328 374 486 492 501

522 583 601 619 685

1.1 Calculate the mean distance of the athletes’ best attempts. (2)
1.2 Calculate the standard deviation of the above data. (2)
1.3 Determine how many distances lie outside ONE standard deviation from the

mean attempt. Show ALL your calculations. @)

1.4 The official that measured the distances of the long jump athletes, mistakenly
measured y cm short from the correct measuring mark. Hence all distances
measured were y cm shorter than what it was supposed to be.

This scenario is shown in the diagram below.

e A=The correct mark from where the distance should have been measured.

e B=The incorrect mark from where the distances were measured.

e C=The mark up to where the distance was measured.

When the correction is made to the distances, the sum of the athletes’ best jumps is

i
now 5555 cm, i.e. Dk, = 5555.

n=l

1.4.1 Calculate the value of y. (2)
1.4.2 Write down the standard deviation of the new correct distances. (2)

NW/September 2018

The goal-scorers in a netball game practice scoring at training during the week. In the
tournament during the weekend, the number of goals they score from the total number
of attempts they made, is recorded as a percentage. This statistic is referred to as the

successful goal-shoot average.

The table below shows the number of goal shots practiced during the week and the
successful goal-shoot average during the tournament for 8 goal-scorers.

Number of goal shots 280 | 400 | 540 | 595 | 375 | 430 | 500 | 650

2.1 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line. (3)
2.2 Calculate the correlation coefficient for the data. (2)
2.3 Comment on the correlation between the number of goal shots practiced and the
successful goal-shoot average. (2)
2.4 A player practiced 465 goal shots. What is her expected successful goal-shoot
average for the next tournament? (2)
