The company Fresh Water produces one-litre bottles of mineral water. The company wants to determine the amount of magnesium, in milligrams, in these bottles.
A random sample of ten bottles is analysed and the results are as follows:
6.7, 7.2, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 6.8, 6.6, 7.1, 7.3.
Find unbiased estimates of the mean and variance of the amount of magnesium in the one-litre bottles.
The heights of all the new boys starting at a school were measured and the following cumulative frequency graph was produced.
Complete the grouped frequency table for these data.
Estimate the mean and standard deviation of the heights of these 80 boys.
Explain briefly whether or not the normal distribution provides a suitable model for this population.
The cumulative frequency graph below represents the weight in grams of 80 apples picked from a particular tree.
Estimate the
(i) median weight of the apples;
(ii) 30th percentile of the weight of the apples.
Estimate the number of apples which weigh more than 110 grams.
