below.

For these data, find

(a) the mean and the standard deviation, (805, 621)

more than 1.5 × (inter-quartile range) below the lower quartile.

(c) Determine if any of the prices are outliers. (2100 and 2315)

The travel agent also sells holidays from a website on the Internet. On the same day, he recorded the price, £x,
of each of 20 holidays sold on the website. The cheapest holiday sold was £98, the most expensive was £2400
and the quartiles of these data were £305, £1379 and £1805. There were no outliers.

(d) On graph paper, and using the same scale, draw box plots for the holidays sold in the shop and the holidays
sold on the website.
(e) Compare and contrast sales from the shop and sales from the website.

10. Three companies operate a bus service along a busy main road. Amber buses run 50% of the service and 2% of
their buses are more than 5 minutes late. Blunder buses run 30% of the service and 10% of their buses are more
than 5 minutes late. Clipper buses run remainder of the service and only 1% of their buses are more than 5 minutes
late.

passes and 7 of the yellow passes are fitted with clips. A member of the company is stopped on his way into the
work and his pass checked. Find the probability that

➢ Venn Diagram Related Problem (Notation based) :

Relations :
1. P(AB) = Probability of event A or B or both.

P(A) + P(B) - P (AB)

2. We can use these shortcuts (we don’t need to shade Venn Diagram).
a)P(AB) = 1 - P(AB)
b)P(AB) = 1 - P(AB)
