1. b) Survey
2. a) 16
3. b) Mode
4. a) 60
5. d) Flowchart
Section B: Short Answer Questions (6–10)
6. Data is a collection of facts or information.
7. A frequency table shows how often each value appears in a data set.
8. Ordered: 150, 151, 152, 153, 154 → Median = 152
9. A pie chart has 360°, so 360 ÷ 4 = 90° or 25%
10. Discrete data can take only certain values (e.g., number of students), while continuous
data can take any value in a range (e.g., height, weight).
Section C: Work with Data (11–15)
11. Frequency table:
Score Frequency
5 3
6 1
7 3
8 2
9 1
12. Mode = 5 and 7 (both appear 3 times)
13. Total = 5+7+8+5+9+7+6+8+7+5 = 67; Mean = 67 ÷ 10 = 6.7
14. Bar graph should show scores on X-axis and frequency on Y-axis
15. 25% of 40 = 0.25 × 40 = 10 students
Section D: Interpretation of Graphs (16–20)
(Assuming sample graph data; adjust if needed)
16. 10 students
17. Swimming (or other sport shown with smallest bar)
18. Difference = Highest - Lowest
19. Add values for Cricket and Basketball from graph
20. Add all sport values for total number of students
Section E: Calculating Measures (21–25)
21. Mean = (12+15+20+25+18)/5 = 90 ÷ 5 = 18
22. Ordered: 19, 20, 21, 22, 25 → Median = 21
23. Mode = 7
24. Range = 25 - 13 = 12
25. Total needed = 18 × 5 = 90; Current total = 18+20+15+17 = 70
Required score = 90 - 70 = 20
Section F: Graphs (26–35)
26. A bar graph uses bars to represent quantities for different categories.
27. A pie chart is best for showing proportions or percentages of a whole.
28. A line graph shows trends or changes over time.
29. A full circle = 360°
30. 90° out of 360° = ¼ or 25%
31. Bar Graph (X: Fruits; Y: Quantities)
32. Line Graph with Days (X-axis) and Temperature (Y-axis)
33. 25% × 360° = 90°
34. 72° ÷ 360° = 0.2 → 20%
35. 18 is 60%, so Total = 18 ÷ 0.6 = 30 students
Section G: Organizing Data (36–40)
36. A tally chart uses tally marks to count occurrences.
37.
Blue: ||||
Red: |||| ||
Green: ||
Yellow: |||| |
38. Frequency table:
Score Frequency
3 2
4 3
5 2
6 4
39. Cumulative frequency up to 5 = 2+3+2 = 7
40. Primary data is collected first-hand; secondary data is collected by someone else.
Section H: Word Problems (41–45)
41. 40% of 80 = 0.4 × 80 = 32 students
42. (10+15+20) ÷ 3 = 45 ÷ 3 = 15 pens/day
43. Use a line graph
44. Use median, as it is not affected by outliers
45. Mode = 38
Section I: Activities (46–50)
(Answers will vary by student)
46. Must include survey results and correct pie chart representation
47. 5 well-structured survey questions (e.g., favorite subject, time spent on TV, etc.)
48. Bar graph of 10 items and their prices
49. Table summarizing responses (e.g., Name, TV show)
50. Paragraph should explain how data on temperature, wind, and humidity is collected,
analyzed, and used in forecasts
