    1. Using the diagram find

      1. the median length,

        [2]
      2. the interquartile range.

        [4]

    20% of these blue parrotfish are longer than L.

    1. Find the value of l.

      [3]

    The recorded length of these same blue parrotfish is represented in the following table.

    There are a total of 270 parrotfish in the aquarium. A parrotfish is said to be juvenile if its length does not exceed 5cm.

    1. Estimate the total number of juvenile parrotfish in the aquarium.

      [3]
    2. Explain why the result in (d) is unlikely to be a good estimate, and suggest a more appropriate sampling technique.
