The height of students at a school is shown as a cumulative frequency graph below.

If \(20\)% of the students are taller than \(h\) cm, find the value of \(h\).

Copy and complete the grouped frequency table of students' heights.

Using your grouped frequency table, calculate an estimate of the standard deviation.

The students at the school took measurements of their weights using a faulty weighing machine. The box and whisker graph below shows the students' weights (in kg) measured by the faulty weight machine.

If every student's true weight was actually \(5\) kg lower, describe briefly how the box and whisker graph will differ from the given graph.
