  2. Question 2. Class A has a median mark of 62 and an interquartile range of 8. Class B has a median mark of 60 and an interquartile range of 15. Which class has more consistent marks? Give a reason.

    Show worked answerHide worked answer
    1. B1: Class A
    2. B1: smaller IQR means the middle half of the marks is closer together
    Answer: Class A, as its IQR (8) is smaller than Class B's (15)
    Benefits of IQR & Range

  3. Question 3. Zoe says that 3(2n + 5)² - 3(2n + 1)² is a multiple of 48 for all integer values of n. Luis says that 3(2n + 5)² - 3(2n + 1)² is a multiple of 24 for all integer values of n. Only one of them is correct. Who is correct? You must show your working.

    1. M1: 3(4n² + 20n + 25) - 3(4n² + 4n + 1)
    2. M1: 48n + 72 = 24(2n + 3)
    3. C1: 2n + 3 is always odd, so 24(2n + 3) is never a multiple of 48
    4. C1: Luis is correct
    Answer: Luis: the expression is 24(2n + 3) and 2n + 3 is odd
