QUESTION 1:

Bob, a church warden, decides to investigate the lifetime of a particular manufacturer’s brand of beeswax candle. Each candle is 30 cm in length. From a box containing a large number of such candles, he selects one candle at random. He lights the candle and, after it has burned continuously for x hours, he records its length, y cm, to the nearest centimetre. His results are shown in the table.
