QUESTION 2
In an experiment, a group of 23 girls were presented with a page containing 30 coloured
rectangles. They were asked to name the colours of the rectangles correctly as quickly as
possible. The time, in seconds, taken by each of the girls is given in the table below.
12 | 13 | 13 | 14 | 14 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 18 | 18 | 19 | 20
21 | 21 | 22 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 27 | 29 | 30 | 36
2.1 Calculate:
2.1.1 The mean of the data (2)
2.1.2 The interquartile range of the data (3)
2.2 The standard deviation of the times taken by the girls is 5,94. How many girls took
longer than ONE standard deviation from the mean to name the colours? (2)
2.3 Draw a box and whisker diagram to represent the data on the number line provided in
the ANSWER BOOK. (3)
2.4 The five-number summary of the times taken by a group of 23 boys in naming the
colours of the rectangles correctly is (15 ; 21 ; 23,5 ; 26 ; 38).
2.4.1 Which of the two groups, girls or boys, had the lower median time to
correctly name the colours of the rectangles? qd)
2.4.2 The first three learners who named the colours of all 30 rectangles
correctly in the shortest time will receive a prize. How many boys will be
among these three prizewinners? Motivate your answer. (2)
