Interesting question. Used the wrong approach the first attempt. Its not so complicated for the O-levels. AHS is most likely Anglican High School - likely set tougher questions.

By the way, Mr Arnold Tan, what will happen to the curve/graph if IQR becomes larger than the original one

Hi Mr Arnold Tan, can u help to answer these 2 questions: (a) if new median is less than the old one, how will the shape of the graph change n (b) if IQR becomes larger than the old one, what will happen to the shape of the graph. Thanks!

For a cumulative frequency curve, decreasing the median shifts the graph towards the left. Easiest to relate to class marks. Lower ability classes which say, score a median mark of 40 out of 100, will be to the left of a class with a median mark of 50/100. However, it does not mean the graphs will not intersect, as also depends on the lowest and highest scores, Q1 and Q3 values for each graph.
