Here are six graphs.

Complete the table below with the letter of the graph that could represent each given equation. Write your answers on the dotted lines.

The cumulative frequency graph gives information about the time, in minutes, each of 60 people took to shop in a market.

Use the graph to find an estimate for the median time people took to shop in the market.

Use the graph to find an estimate for the number of people who took longer than 55 minutes to shop in the market.

Use the graph to complete the frequency table to give information about the time, in minutes, each of the 60 people took to shop in the market.

Time taken to shop in the market (m minutes)	Frequency
0 m 10	3
10 m 20	5
20 m 30
30 m 40
40 m 50
50 m 60
60 m 70

The table gives information about the weights, in kg, of the parcels that Pedro delivers on Monday.

Weight (wkg)	Frequency
0 w 2	12
2 w 3	7
3 w 6	15
6 w 9	12
9 w 14	9

On the grid, draw a histogram for this information.

One of the parcels that Pedro delivered on Monday is chosen at random.

Using the information in the table, find an estimate for the probability that this parcel weighs more than 7 kg.

A and B are two similar vases.

The vases are such that

surface area of vase = B surface area of vase A
