Foundation June 2019 Paper 2 Q19
19. Marie works for an optician.
She records the depth of a lens in each of the 100 pairs of glasses on display.

Her results are summarised in the table.
| Depth of lens, \(x\) mm, to the nearest mm | Number of pairs of glasses |
|---|---|
| \(10 \leqslant x \lt 20\) | 5 |
| \(20 \leqslant x \lt 30\) | 20 |
| \(30 \leqslant x \lt 40\) | 23 |
| \(40 \leqslant x \lt 50\) | 52 |
(a) Calculate an estimate for the mean depth of a lens. [4]
(b) In which group does the median lie? [1]
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Mid points: 15, 25, 35, 45 | B1 | |
| \(15\times5 + 25\times20 + 35\times23 + 45\times52\) \((= 75 + 500 + 805 + 2340 = 3720)\) | M1 | FT provided ‘their midpoints’ within the 'bounds' inclusive |
| \(\div 100\) | m1 | |
| 37(.2mm) | A1 | Unsupported 37.2, award all 4 marks |
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| \(40 \leqslant x \lt 50\) | B1 | Accept any unambiguous indication |
