A tin contains tea bags with a choice of four different flavours of tea. The four flavours of tea are Assam or Darjeeling or Nilgiri or Rize.

Sara takes at random a tea bag from the tin.

The table shows each of the probabilities that the flavour of the tea Sara takes is Assam or Darjeeling or Rize.

Work out the probability that the flavour of the tea Sara takes is Nilgiri.

Work out the probability that the flavour of the tea Sara takes is either Darjeeling or Rize.

A group of 60 students each sat an algebra test and a geometry test. Each test was marked out of 110

The cumulative frequency graph gives information about the marks gained by the 60 students in the algebra test.

Use the graph to find an estimate for the median mark in the algebra test.

Use the graph to find an estimate for the number of students who gained 58 marks or less in the algebra test.

Use the graph to find an estimate for the interquartile range of the marks gained in the algebra test.

The interquartile range of the marks gained in the geometry test is 9

Luis says

“The students’ marks are more spread out in the algebra test than in the geometry test.”

Is Luis correct? Give a reason for your answer.

To be awarded a grade A in the algebra test, a student had to gain a mark greater than 64

Two students are to be selected at random from the 60 students in the group.

Use the graph to find an estimate for the probability that both of these students were awarded a grade A in the algebra test.
