(a) Rob has carried out a survey. He asked 25 students how many times they visited the library last month. His results are shown below.
Using Rob’s results, answer the following questions.
(i) What is the range? Circle your answer. [1]
0 1 2 3 4 5
(ii) What is the median? Circle your answer. [1]
0 1 2 3 4 5
(b) Rob puts some books and a weight on a set of balance scales. All the books are identical.
What is the mass of one book? [2]
(c) Rob balances some identical dictionaries. 10 dictionaries are on one side. 2 dictionaries and a 3200 g weight are on the other side.
Let the mass of one dictionary be \(x\) grams.
(i) Use the information above to write an equation in terms of \(x\). [1]
(ii) Find the total mass of all 12 dictionaries. [2]
The total mass of all 12 dictionaries is …………… g
