School X recorded the time taken by 600 pupils to complete Task A.

  1. Use the curve to estimate
    1. the median time,[1]
    2. the interquartile range,[1]
    3. the probability that a randomly chosen pupil took more than 70 minutes.[2]
  2. The box plot shows the times for 600 pupils from School Y.
    1. Compare the performance of the two schools.[1]
    2. An outlier lies below \(Q_1-1.5IQR\) or above \(Q_3+1.5IQR\). Explain for which school a time of 88 minutes is more unexpected.[2]
  3. For Task B, School X has the same interquartile range but a smaller median. Describe how its cumulative-frequency curve differs.[1]
