(a) A group of 80 students each completed a task. The table shows the time, t minutes, each student took to complete the task. Time (t minutes) | 20 < t ≤ 40 | 40 < t ≤ 60 | 60 < t ≤ 80 | 80 < t ≤ 100 | 100 < t ≤ 120 -----------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|---------------- Frequency | 10 | 20 | 34 | 12 | 4

  1. (a)(i)On the grid, draw a cumulative frequency diagram to represent this information. [Grid with axes labeled Cumulative frequency and Time (minutes)][3]
  2. (a)(ii)(a)the median,[1]
  3. (a)(ii)(b)the interquartile range.[2]
  4. (b)(i)Calculate the mean.[2]
  5. (b)(ii)One of the adults is selected at random. Find the probability that this adult made more than 3 errors.[1]
  6. (b)(iii)Two of the adults are selected at random. Find the probability that they each made exactly one error.[2]
