Section A: Statistics

Statistics, probability and data interpretation questions. Answer ALL questions.

Question SECTION-A-STATISTICS1 (4 marks)
A-Level Statistical Sampling problem. A sample of 40 students is used to test a claim about revision time. The summary statistic is compared with a 5% significance level. (a) State suitable hypotheses. (b) Carry out the required calculation or decision step. (c) Interpret the result in the context of the claim.
Question SECTION-A-STATISTICS2 (6 marks)
A-Level Data Presentation problem. Answer this exam-style question on Data Presentation. You should show clear working, justify each step and give your final answer in a suitable form.
Question SECTION-A-STATISTICS3 (8 marks)
A-Level Probability problem. A sample of 46 students is used to test a claim about revision time. The summary statistic is compared with a 5% significance level. (a) State suitable hypotheses.
