For example: Number of planes of symmetry = number of lines of symmetry + 1. This happens because the planes of symmetry can be drawn, the length of the prism, in the same place as the lines of symmetry on the cross-section of the prism. There is then the extra plane of symmetry that divides the prism halfway along its length.c i 11 ii 13d Learner’s own discussions.7 a, b Learner’s own diagram. Check that the plane of symmetry passes through the circular ends of the cylinder, dividing the circular cross-section into two identical semi-circles.c Learner’s own diagram. Check that the plane of symmetry passes halfway along the height, splitting the cylinder into two identical cylinders.d Learner’s own answers and explanations. For example: It has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. A circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry, so this is the same in 3D for the cylinder. When the cylinder is placed upright there is always one horizontal plane of symmetry, but an infinite number of vertical ones.Reflection: Learner’s own answers.Downloaded by Tanishka Doshi ([email protected])lOMoARcPSD|16792922

When you have drawn the bars it is easy to join the midpoint of each bar with straight lines. Her method will take longer though, as you have to draw all the bars first. Using Zara’s method is quicker as you don’t have to draw all the bars, but you do need to work out the midpoints, and if you make a mistake with one of the midpoints you might not notice when you plot the point.c Learner’s own discussions.7 a Learner’s own diagram.

For example: The first frequency polygon gives you better information because there are more groups so it shows you more information on the lengths of the turtles. The second frequency polygon only has three groups so less information can be taken from the graph.d i 12ii No, Arun cannot fill in the correct frequencies in his table. Learner’s own explanation. For example: From the first table Arun knows that there are five turtles between 190 and 210 cm. But this does not tell him how many turtles there are between 190 and 200 cm and how many turtles there are between 200 and 210 cm, so it is impossible for him to complete his table. He would have to find the original data, before it was grouped, in order to use the groups he wants to.Exercise 15.21 a Learner’s own scatter graph.

Make lines long enough to go through all the data, don’t make the lines too short. Work out the mean of the data and make the line go through this point.c Learner’s own discussions.d It is not a good idea to use the line of best fit to make predictions outside the range of the data, because you do not know what happens beyond the data you are given.

There may be no fish at 30 °C and the number cannot keep dropping after that.e Learner’s own answers.Reflection: Learner’s own answers.7 a Learner’s own explanation. For example: It is a coincidence that the graph shows a positive correlation. In a school the older learners might have longer feet, and they might be better at maths as they have been in school longer than the younger students, but they might not. Also, when your feet stop growing, it doesn’t mean that you are going to stop getting better at maths. Your ability in maths does not depend on the length of your foot.

For example:Website A and Website B both had the same mode and almost the same median. The median for Website B was only one more than Website A, so this average is almost the same. The mean was also very similar with only a difference of 2.8 hits per day. So, on average Website B had slightly more hits than Website A. Website B’s range is a lot higher than Website A, showing that the number of hits it had per day varied a lot more.c Learner’s own answers. For example: Neither website appears to be better. Website A was more consistent. Website B was only slightly better on average than Website A.d Learner’s own discussions.Exercise 15.41 a i 150 cm ⩽h < 160 cmii 150 cm ⩽h < 160 cmb Learner’s own explanation.

For example: Using the midpoint would be best. If you use the smallest value in each class the estimate of the mean will be too low, because not all the values will be the smallest value. If you use the highest value the estimate of the mean will be too high, because not all the values will be the highest value.b Learner’s own discussions.4 a 40 at The Heath and 50 at Moorlands.bHospitalModal class intervalClass interval where the median liesEstimate of meanThe Heath10 ⩽ t < 20 minutes10 ⩽ t < 20 minutes17.25 minutesMoorlands 0 ⩽ t < 10 minutes20 ⩽ t < 30 minutes19.4 minutesc Learner’s own answers. For example: The modal class interval is lower for Moorlands than The Heath, but the class interval containing the median is lower for The Heath than Moorlands. The mean is just over 2 minutes less waiting time in The Heath than Moorlands.d Learner’s own answers. For example: The Heath, because the mean is lower and the median is lower. Even though the modal group is lower at Moorlands, on average I think waiting times will be less at The Heath.5 a 2b 13c Mean = 7.15, Median = 8, Mode = 3d Table AScore Tally Frequency2–4 llll l 65–7 lll 38–10 llll lll 811–13 lll 3Table BScore Tally Frequency2–5 llll l 66–9 llll lll 810–13 llll l 6eModal class intervalClass interval where the median liesEstimate of meanTable A 8–10 8–10 7.2Table B 6–9 6–9 7.5f i Learner’s own answers.

CAMBRIDGE LOWER SECONDARY MATHEMATICS 9: TEACHER’S RESOURCE 61 Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics 9 – Byrd, Byrd & Pearce © Cambridge University Press 2021f i Learner’s own answers and explanations. For example: I think the answers in parts a and b are the more accurate answers because the groups are smaller in size so the individual values are more likely to be nearer the midpoints in the smaller groups than in the bigger groups. The range is the same for both sets of answers because the smallest and greatest possible values are the same.ii Learner’s own answers and explanations. For example: The answers in parts d and e were quicker to work out because there were fewer groups, so there were fewer calculations to do for the median and mean.Check your progress1 a 60bKabayan SupermarketTime, t (minutes) Frequency Midpoint0 ⩽t < 15 5 7.515 ⩽t < 30 8 22.530 ⩽t < 45 38 37.545 ⩽t < 60 9 52.5Shoprite SupermarketTime, t (minutes) Frequency Midpoint0 ⩽t < 15 32 7.515 ⩽t < 30 13 22.530 ⩽t < 45 10 37.545 ⩽t < 60 5 52.5c Learner’s own diagram. Two frequency polygons drawn on one grid. Kabayan Supermarket points (7.5, 5), (22.5, 8), (37.5, 38) and (52.5, 9) joined with straight lines. Shoprite Supermarket points (7.5, 32), (22.5, 13), (37.5, 10) and (52.5, 5) joined with straight lines. Make sure that each line is labelled clearly. Make sure that the axes are labelled correctly and that a sensible scale is used.d Learner’s own answers. For example:More than six times as many employees took less than 15 minutes to travel to work to Shoprite than Kabayan, whereas nearly four times as many employees took between 30 and 45 minutes to travel to Kabayan than Shoprite. Only five employees (8%) from Shoprite took longer than 45 minutes to travel to work, compared with nine employees (15%) from Kabayan.2 a Learner’s own scatter graph.

For example: The range is the same for the boys and the girls so they are both as varied as each other. The median and the mean for the boys and girls are all over 60 seconds. The boys’ mean and median are higher than the girls’. The girls’ mean and median are closer to 60 seconds. The girls’ mode is only 4 seconds under 60 seconds, whereas the boys’ mode is 7 seconds over 60 seconds.c Learner’s own answers. For example: No, the boys’ median is higher, but is further away from 60 seconds, as is their mean, so the boys are worse at estimating 60 seconds.4 a i 6 ⩽t < 8 hoursii 6 ⩽t < 8 hoursb i 7.26. hours or 7 hours 16 minutes or 7.3 hoursii 6 hoursDownloaded by Tanishka Doshi ([email protected])lOMoARcPSD|16792922
