Answer All Questions in the Spaces Provided Practice Questions Level 3 Mathematical Studies 1350 Analysis of Data April 2018 F 2 1 The World Health Organisation (WHO) collects data and predicts the average life expectancy for someone born at a particular time in a particular country. The data below are for 193 countries and refer to the year 2009. The data have been organised into a grouped frequency table as shown below.

L 40 50 60 70 80 90 Life expectancy at birth in 2009 (years) [4 marks] Version 1.0 1350/1 3 (ii) Using your histogram, or otherwise, estimate how many of these countries have a life expectancy at birth greater than 77 years. [2 marks] (b) (i) From the data given in the table above, estimate a value for the median life expectancy. [3 marks] (ii) For these data, the WHO gives the mean life expectancy for someone born in 2009 as 68 years. Explain why this differs from your median value found in part (b)(i).

  • Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth Champion, Greg
    Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth champion, Greg Rutherford is Great Britain’s most decorated long jumper and one of the country’s most successful Olympic athletes. After a successful junior career, Greg won gold at the London 2012 Olympics - changing his life forever and playing his part in the most successful night of British olympic sport in history. This iconic victory began a winning streak of gold medals; at the 2014 European Championships, 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2015 World Championships. In 2015, Greg topped the long jump ranking in the IAAF Diamond League, the athletics equivalent of the Champions League. At the end of his 2015 season, he held every available elite outdoor title. In 2016 at the Rio Olympic’s, Greg backed up his 2012 Olympic success with a further Olympic medal - he also found himself on the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom floor shortly after! Greg is the British record holder, both indoors and outdoors, with bests of 8.26m (indoors) and 8.51m (outdoors). These sporting successes place Greg among the ranks of the British supreme athletics performers - simultaneously holding 4 major outdoors titles - he sits alongside legends such as, Linford Christie, Sally Gunnell, Johnathan Edwards & Daley Thompson. Greg’s route to the top was anything but smooth. From humble and often difficult beginnings, Greg rebelled during his teenage years and ended up dropping out of school, telling his teachers he was going to be a professional sportsman, no matter what - despite having no job, no money and little more than a firm belief in his own raw talent.

Aos 22 anos, ela tem uma história de vida emocionante. Começou treinando em um projeto social na cidade de Guarulhos, chegava a andar por duas horas para chegar aos treinos e superou três cirurgias. Rebeca Andrade começou a treinar aos quatro anos no Ginásio Bonifácio Cardoso, da prefeitura de Guarulhos, em São Paulo, lá, ela ficou conhecida como a "Daianinha de Guarulhos", uma referência à ídola Daiane dos Santos. Rebeca tem sete irmãos e a família teve dificuldades para manter o sonho da ginasta, com dificuldades financeiras, Rebeca chegou a parar de treinar por um período, mas os técnicos organizaram um esquema de rodízio para levar a menina aos treinos, depois, um dos irmãos de Rebeca, Emerson Rodrigues, que hoje está com 30 anos, comprou uma bicicleta para levar a irmã aos treinos. A ginástica artística feminina do Brasil é dividida em antes e depois de Daiane dos Santos e Daniele Hypolito. Agora, o dia de hoje também passa a ser um marco divisório.

Sharon Houghton Road rankings Press Reports From the Editor Welcome to the April edition, and thank you to Sharon Houghton, Julie Clayton and Jenna Wheatman for their contribution. After months of weather that required some additional determination to get out and train, I think most club members will be looking forward to the traditional spring road races and the start of the Track and Field season. I hope that our fell and off road specialists, who seemingly revelled in the mud and adverse weather will cope with the warmer and hopefully at least drier weather! The club seniors who ran the London Marathon and got sunburnt whilst doing so, must have had mixed feelings about the return of the sun! I hope everyone has a good summer at whatever their favourite discipline is.

    Inspiring stories from AudioFuel customers Since I've been an audiofuel customer, running has helped me deal with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Even when I feel low, tired and like I don't want to carry on, listening to audiofuel tracks helps to give me the motivation I need to get out and run. When I run, it helps improve my mood and this in turn helps me to live life to its fullest. ______________________ I lost 3 stone after running to audio fuel pyramid 200 and went on to complete a half marathon having only trained for 10 weeks ! My proudest moment was when I planned to go out for a 3 mile run, got lost and managed to run 5 miles! My first distance larger than 3 miles, and I kept at the same pace. I was so proud of myself! ______________________ Inspiration from Team AudioFuel Page 1 of 79 I'm 62 and have been exercising routinely for decades. However I amped it up with the interval training and not only did I peel off a few pounds, but my energy is great! I love intervals and so does my dog. (I also out ran my 37 year old son, and it inspired him to amp it up too!) ______________________ Having come back from 8 months of injury and operations, all my running has been done to audiofuel, without it I don't think I would be back running 4 times per week. The speed session is slower but I can see improvement, the long runs painfully slow.
