QUESTION 1
The box-and-whisker diagram below shows the distribution of the September examination
marks of a group of 24 boys in Grade 11. The median is 84 and the mean is 87.
68 78 84 105 127
1.1 How many boys scored more than 105? (1)
1.2 In which direction are the marks skewed? (1)
1.3 Calculate the range of the data. (2)
1.4 On checking the answer book of the candidate who scored 127, an adding error is
discovered and his mark is changed to 147. Determine the resulting value of the
following measures:
1.4.1 The median (1)
1.4.2 The mean (2)
