The stem-and-leaf diagram below shows the distribution of the number of

specimens collected by a group of students, where a, b and c are non-negative
integers less than 10. It is given that there are 25 students in the group.

Stem (ten) Leaf (digit)

0 a 9
1 2 2 5 7 8
2 1 2 3 3 5 b 6 7
3 c 2 2 4 4 6
4 0 0 3 9
(a) (i) It is given that the range, median and mode of the data are 43, 25 and
32 respectively. Write down the values of a, b and c.

(ii) The data 49 specimens is wrongly inputted. The correct data should
be 47. What will be the changes in the mean, median and mode?

(b) Only when the number of specimens collected by a student is 20 or above,

the specimens will be sent to a laboratory for further examination. 4 out of
the 25 sets of specimens collected by the students are chosen at random.

(i) Find the probability that exactly 3 sets of specimens chosen will be
sent to the laboratory.

(ii) Find the probability that exactly 3 sets of specimens chosen will be
sent to the laboratory and the numbers of specimens in the 3 sets are
odd.

(iii) It is given that exactly 3 sets of specimens chosen will be sent to the
laboratory. Find the probability that the numbers of specimens in the
3 sets are odd.
