The time in minutes taken by Whitefay Park School in a cross-country race are recorded in the table below.

Whitefay Park School45475356566164666973757883

The times taken by pupils at Whitefay Park School are denoted by \(x\) minutes.

  1. Find the value of \(\Sigma(x - 60)^2\).
  2. It is given that \(\Sigma(x - 60) = 46\). Use this result, together with your answer to part (iii), to find the variance of \(x\).

The times, \(t\) seconds, taken to swim 100 m were recorded for a group of 9 swimmers and were found to be as follows.

95, 126, 117, 135, 120, 125, 114, 119, 136

  1. Find the values of \(\Sigma(t - 120)\) and \(\Sigma(t - 120)^2\).
  2. Using your values found in part (i), calculate the variance of \(t\).

For 40 values of the variable x, it is given that \(\Sigma (x-c)^2 = 3099.2\), where c is a constant. The standard deviation of these values of x is 3.2.

  1. Find the value of \(\Sigma (x-c)\).
  2. Given that \(c = 50\), find the mean of these values of x.

In a statistics lesson 12 people were asked to think of a number, \(x\), between 1 and 20 inclusive. From the results Tom found that \(\Sigma x = 186\) and that the standard deviation of \(x\) is 4.5. Assuming that Tom’s calculations are correct, find the values of \(\Sigma(x - 10)\) and \(\Sigma(x - 10)^2\).
