7 Table 1 shows the frequency distribution of the scores of a group of pupils in a game.
Score Number of pupils
10 – 19 1
20 – 29 2
30 – 39 8
40 – 49 12
50 – 59 k
60 - 69 1
(a) It is given that the median score of the distribution is 42. Calculate the value
of k. [3marks]

(b) Use the graph paper to answer this question.

Using a scale of 2 cm to 10 scores on the horizontal axis and 2 cm to 2 pupils
on the vertical axis, draw a histogram to represent the frequency distribution
of the scores.
Find the mode score. [4marks]

(c) What is the mode score if the score of each pupil increased by 5? [1 mark]

8 Diagram below is a histogram which represents the distribution of the marks obtained
by 40 pupils in a test.
