题目
The times taken, in minutes, by 150 students to complete a puzzle are summarised in the table.
| Time taken ( minutes) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency | 8 | 23 | 35 | 52 | 20 | 12 |
(a) Draw a histogram to represent this information.
(b) Calculate an estimate for the mean time for these students to complete the puzzle.
(c) In which class interval does the lower quartile of the times lie?

原卷通用作答要求
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.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

组距不同,用频数除以组距作柱高,柱面积才代表频数。

Use frequency density for each bar height.
| Time interval (minutes) | Class width | Frequency density |
|---|---|---|
Draw adjoining bars over these intervals. Label the axes “Time (minutes)” and “Frequency density”, using linear scales and a density axis starting at zero.
