The number of people a football stadium can hold is called the 'capacity'. The capacities of 130 football stadiums in the UK, to the nearest thousand, are summarised in the table.

Capacity (people) 3,000–7,000 8,000–12,000 13,000–22,000 23,000–42,000 43,000–82,000
Number of stadiums 40 30 18 34 8
  1. On graph paper, draw a histogram to represent this information. Use a scale of 2 cm for a capacity of 10,000 on the horizontal axis.
  2. Calculate an estimate of the mean capacity of these 130 stadiums.
  3. Find which class in the table contains the median and which contains the lower quartile.

A survey was made of the journey times of 63 people who cycle to work in a certain town. The results are summarised in the following cumulative frequency table.

Journey time (minutes) ≤ 10 ≤ 25 ≤ 45 ≤ 60 ≤ 80
Cumulative frequency 0 18 50 59 63
  1. State how many journey times were between 25 and 45 minutes.
  2. Draw a histogram on graph paper to represent the data.
  3. Calculate an estimate of the mean journey time.

Robert has a part-time job delivering newspapers. On a number of days he noted the time, correct to the nearest minute, that it took him to do his job. Robert used his results to draw up the following table; two of the values in the table are denoted by \(a\) and \(b\).

\(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Time (t minutes)} & 60 - 62 & 63 - 64 & 65 - 67 & 68 - 71 \\ \hline \text{Frequency (number of days)} & 3 & 9 & 6 & b \\ \hline \text{Frequency density} & 1 & a & 2 & 1.5 \\ \hline \end{array}\)

(i) Find the values of \(a\) and \(b\).

(ii) On graph paper, draw a histogram to represent Robert’s times.

The table summarises the lengths in centimetres of 104 dragonflies.

Length (cm) 2.0–3.5 3.5–4.5 4.5–5.5 5.5–7.0 7.0–9.0
Frequency 8 25 28 31 12
  1. State which class contains the upper quartile.
  2. Draw a histogram, on graph paper, to represent the data.
