(ii) On the grid, draw a histogram to show the information in the table.

................................................. [3]

(iii) Two students are selected at random from the 40 students. Calculate the
probability
that one student takes more than 25 minutes, and the other student takes 10
minutes or less to travel to school.

................................................. [3]

(b) This is some information about the time that 200 people took to fill in a
questionnaire:
• The longest time taken was 30 minutes.
 5

• The median time was 22 minutes.

• The lower quartile was 8 minutes.
• The interquartile range was 19 minutes.
• The range was 25 minutes.
Write down the shortest time taken.

............................ minutes [1]

2.
