Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the cumulative frequency for the value 15 in the following frequency table:
| Class Interval | Frequency |
|------------------|-----------|
| 0 - 5 | 4 |
| 6 - 10 | 8 |
| 11 - 15 | 6 |
| 16 - 20 | 5 |
[2 marks]2.
Construct the cumulative frequency table for the following data:
| Class Interval | Frequency |
|------------------|-----------|
| 0 - 10 | 10 |
| 11 - 20 | 15 |
| 21 - 30 | 20 |
| 31 - 40 | 5 |
[3 marks]3.
A table shows the number of students scoring within certain ranges. Fill in the missing cumulative frequencies:
| Score Range | Frequency | Cumulative Frequency |
|--------------|------------|------------------------|
| 0 - 50 | 12 | |
| 51 - 70 | 20 | |
| 71 - 90 | 18 | |
[2 marks]4.
Identify the mistake in the following cumulative frequency table:
| Class | Frequency | Cumulative Frequency |
|--------|------------|------------------------|
| 0-5 | 5 | 5 |
| 6-10 | 7 | 10 |
| 11-15 | 8 | 15 |
[2 marks]5.
Plot the graph of y=2x for x values from 0 to 10 on the grid provided.
[3 marks]6.
Construct a histogram based on the following cumulative frequency data:
| Class Interval | Cumulative Frequency |
|------------------|------------------------|
| 0 - 10 | 12 |
| 10 - 20 | 27 |
| 20 - 30 | 45 |
| 30 - 40 | 50 |
[3 marks]7.
A class interval of 0-20 has a frequency of 10, and the next class is 21-40 with a frequency of 15. What is the cumulative frequency at 40?
[2 marks]8.
In a frequency table, the cumulative frequency for class 0-25 is 35, and for 0-50 is 60. Find the frequency for the class 26-50.
[2 marks]9.
Explain why it is important to correctly calculate cumulative frequencies when analyzing data distributions.
[3 marks]10.
A student miscalculates the cumulative frequency for a class interval. Identify the error and correct it:
| Class | Frequency | Cumulative Frequency |
|--------|------------|------------------------|
| 0-10 | 10 | 10 |
| 11-20 | 12 | 22 |
| 21-30 | 15 | 37 |
