6. Frequency diagram F. Difference between highest and lowest
Section C: True or False :
Read each statement carefully.
1. The mean is found by adding all the values and dividing by the number of values.
2. In a pie chart, the total angle is always 260°.
3. The mode is the smallest number in a set of data.
4. In a pie chart, larger angles represent larger amounts of data.
5. The range is calculated by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value.
Section D: Complete the answers :

2. The table shows the number of kilometres that Hani drove each day last month.
Number of kilometres, k Frequency
0 < k ≤ 20 4
20 < k ≤ 40 5
40 < k ≤ 60 9
60 < k ≤ 80 6
80 < k ≤ 100 7
a) Draw a frequency diagram to show this data.
Number of kilometers driven each day
b) On how many days did Hani drive more than 60 km? _______________________________
c) How many days were there in the month? ________________________________________
3. The pie charts show the results of a survey about the favourite sports chosen by boys and girls.
• 200 boys took part in the survey.
• 240 girls took part in the survey.
a) Which sport has the greater proportion among girls than boys?
b) How many boys chose football?
c) How many girls chose swimming?
d) Which group (boys or girls) has the greater proportion choosing basketball?
e) Copy and complete the working:
Number of boys choosing Basketball =
50
× 200 = ________
360
Number of girls choosing Basketball =
40
× 240 = ________
360
So, the group with the greater number is __________________.
4. The pie charts show the results of a survey about favourite school subjects for two classes.
180 students from Class A took part.
360 students from Class B took part.
a) How many students in Class A chose Maths?
b) How many students in Class B chose English?
c) Which class has more students choosing Science?
d) Copy and complete the working:
Number of students in Class A choosing Science =
90
× 180 = ________
360
Number of students in Class B choosing Science =
60
× 360 = ________
360
So, the class with more students choosing Science is __________________.
