题目
The time taken, minutes, to complete a puzzle was recorded for each of 150 students. These times are summarised in the table.
| Time taken ( minutes) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cumulative frequency | 16 | 44 | 86 | 104 | 132 | 150 |
(a) Draw a cumulative frequency graph to illustrate the data.
(b) Use your graph to estimate the 20th percentile of the data.

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。

Plot the points
Use linear scales, with “Time (minutes)” on the horizontal axis and “Cumulative frequency” on the vertical axis. Join the points with a smooth increasing curve starting at the origin.
