QUESTION 5

a) Students self-learning time is an integral part in the design of a new curriculum for
courses in the Centre of Foundation Studies, UiTM. The Mathematics Unit for the
Centre wants some idea as to how the learning time is fulfilled among the students.

particular topic where a minimum of 25 hours of learning time was allocated. The
data pertaining to the survey is as follows:

Learning 5 10 10 15 15 20 20 25 25 30 30 35 35 40
time(hours), x
Number of 5 16 29 22 34 10 4
students, f

Based on the given data,

i) draw a frequency polygon.

ii) calculate the median and the mode. Give your answer accurate to 3
significant figures. (Ans: 22.3, 26.7)

ii) calculate the mean and the standard deviation by using the data summary:

3
 fx 2650 and fx 2 64700
(Ans: 22.1, 7.2)

iv) find the Pearsons Coefficient of Skewness. (Ans: -0.0833 or -0.639)

v) estimate the percentage of students who failed to fulfill the time allocated.
(Ans: 60%)
(14 marks)

b) The table below shows the number of students in a particular class who own a tablet
computer (Samdung or Applet) or otherwise.

Tablet Samdung (S) Applet (A) Does not own any (N)
