There is an award for board and card games.

Matthew collected a list of the 9 games that were recommended by the awards panel in the critics prize category for 2022

Here is a list of the ratings given to these games by players. A higher rating represents a better game.

Passengers for airline flights have their suitcases weighed when they check in.

LocalHop offers flights to and from islands in a small plane.

Here is a list of the weights, in kilograms, of each of the suitcases for a flight to one of the islands on Monday.

16.8 8.9 15.7 16.7 15.4 4.1 19.2 17.4 16.4 15.3 14.9

Mikolaj thinks that it is more appropriate to use the median rather than the mean as an average for these weights.

Explain why Mikolaj may be correct.

Calculate the interquartile range for these weights.

For the return flight on Sunday the interquartile range for the weights of the suitcases is 1.6 kilograms.

Compare these interquartile ranges in context.

Priya is the manager of a company that makes toys.

Priya suggests using a stratified sample that is stratified by department.

Explain why this is appropriate.

Priya plans to sample 50 of the employees.

Work out the number of employees in the manufacturing department she should include in this sample.

The time series graph gives information about the revenue, in $ billion, for the skiing resort of Vail each quarter from Quarter 1, 2018 to Quarter 1, 2023

For which year and quarter was the revenue the greatest?
