Problem

To test the difficulty level of a new computer game, a company measures the time taken for a group of players to complete the game. Their results are displayed in the table alongside.
Completion time (t min)Number of players
0≤t<300 \le t < 301
30≤t<6030 \le t < 604
60≤t<9060 \le t < 9012
90≤t<12090 \le t < 12018
120≤t<150120 \le t < 1507
150≤t<180150 \le t < 1802
(1) How many players were surveyed? (2) Write down the modal class. (3) Draw a cumulative frequency graph for the data. (4) The game is considered too easy if either the mean or median completion time is below 90 minutes. - i** Estimate the median completion time using your cumulative frequency graph. - ii** Estimate the mean completion time. - iii** Hence comment on whether the game is too easy. (5) Complete this sentence: The middle 50% of players completed the game in times between ..... and ..... minutes.
