Question 2 - 17 marks An advertising company is comparing published listening figures for different radio stations and podcasts in order to decide where is the best place to put their adverts. The audience figures for the last 20 quarters of radio stations A and B are in Table 1. Table 1 Audience figures in 100 000's of radio stations A and B for the last 20 quarters Radio Station A Radio Station B 109 95 103 98 105 97 110 96 108 97 106 96 105 97 109 95 112 93 112 94 115 95 111 91 113 92 112 96 115 102 105 103 109 100 107 106 105 108 108 104(a) (i) (ii) (iii) (1)) (i) (ii) (iii) Find the summary values for radio stations A and B, using Dataplotter or otherwise. Copy and complete the table below. Round values, where necessary, to one decimal place. The mean, rounded to one decimal place, is given for you as a check that you have entered the data correctly. Table 2 Summary values of audience gures in 100 000 's for radio stations A and B. Radio Station A Radio Station B Min Median Max Me an SD IQR Range Use the two measures of location to say which radio station, on average, has most listeners. Explain your reasoning. Use all three measures of spread to say which radio station has the greater variability in the amount of listeners. Explain your reasoning. Create boxplots for these two data sets (either drawn by hand or as a printout from Dataplotter or another suitable computer package). Include all the relevant information required for drawing boxplots as set out in Subsection 1.2 of Unit 11. The summary values can be displayed on the bomplots themselves or in a table to the side of the chart, as they appear in Dataplotter. Use the boxplot for radio station B to say whether the data are symmetric 0r skewed. If the data are skewed, then state whether they are skewed to the left or skewed to the right. What does this tell you about the spread of the data for radio station B? The advertising company tries to summarise what the boxplot for radio station A is saying. Are the following statements true or false? In each case justify your answer. (1) About one-quarter of the reporting periods for radio station A had less than 10 550 000 listeners. (2) About three(piarters of the reporting periods for radio station A had more than 10 900 000 listeners. page 4 of 9 [1] (c) The advertising company also looked at the two top podcasts available for download from the two radio stations. The summary values are in the table below. Table 3 Summary values for the audience gures for the top podcast fmm radio stations A and B (1000's). Station A Station B Min 105 274 Median 230.5 290 Max 450 324 Mean 294.0 294.1 SD 131.3 1 3 .4 IQ range 213 18.5 Range 345 50 (i) State what kind of data these are, discrete or continuous. Justify your answer. [1] (ii) The advertising company creates histograms, shown in Figure 1, for the podcasts data7 but forgets to label them. Which histogram represents the data for the podcast from radio station A? Explain your answer. [2] 1 s a 6 C E 4 CT Kl!
