A random sample of 100 carrots is taken from a farm and their lengths, L cm, recorded.
The data are summarised in the following table.

A histogram is drawn to represent these data.
The bar representing the class 5≤L<8 is 1.5 cm wide and 1 cm high.
(a) Find the width and height of the bar representing the class 15≤L<20
(3)
(b) Use linear interpolation to estimate the median length of these carrots.
(2)
(c) Estimate
(i) the mean length of these carrots,
(2)
(ii) the standard deviation of the lengths of these carrots.
(3)
A supermarket will only buy carrots with length between 9 cm and 22 cm.
(d) Estimate the proportion of carrots from the farm that the supermarket will buy.
(2)
Any carrots that the supermarket does not buy are sold as animal feed.
The farm makes a profit of 2.2 pence on each carrot sold to the supermarket, a profit of 0.8 pence on each carrot longer than 22 cm and a loss of 1.2 pence on each carrot shorter than 9 cm.
(e) Find an estimate of the mean profit per carrot made by the farm.

用直方图表示这些数据。表示 5≤L<8 这一组的柱宽为 1.5 cm、高为 1 cm。
(a) 求表示 15≤L<20 这一组的柱宽和柱高。
(b) 使用线性插值估计这些胡萝卜长度的中位数。
(c) 估计:
(i) 这些胡萝卜的平均长度;
(ii) 这些胡萝卜长度的标准差。
一家超市只购买长度在 9 cm 到 22 cm 之间的胡萝卜。
(d) 估计农场中会被该超市购买的胡萝卜所占比例。
超市不购买的胡萝卜会作为动物饲料出售。每根卖给超市的胡萝卜为农场带来 2.2 便士利润;每根长于 22 cm 的胡萝卜带来 0.8 便士利润;每根短于 9 cm 的胡萝卜造成 1.2 便士亏损。
