Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
On 2<x<4, the density is (x−2)/6. On 4<x<8, it is (8−x)/12. It is zero outside the support. The sketch consists of straight segments joining (2,0) to (4,1/3) and then to (8,0).
The lower quartile satisfies (x−2)2/12=1/4 on [2,4], giving 2+3. The upper quartile satisfies 1−(8−x)2/24=3/4 on [4,8], giving 8−6. The interquartile range is 6−6−3.
