3. Q3Short answer·2 marks
   An athlete recorded the length, in days, of her last five menstrual cycles as 26, 28, 50, 27 and 29. (a) Calculate the mean length of these five cycles. [1] (b) Given that a normal menstrual cycle lasts 21 to 35 days, name the menstrual dysfunction shown by the 50-day cycle. [1]
   Show answer and step marks

   1. Sum of the five cycle lengths: $26 + 28 + 50 + 27 + 29 = 160$ days+0.5
   2. Mean length $= \frac{160}{5} = 32$ days+0.5
   3. The 50-day cycle is longer than 35 days, so it indicates oligomenorrhoea (infrequent or irregular menstruation)+1

   Answer: (a) Mean cycle length = 32 days. (b) Oligomenorrhoea (infrequent or irregular menstruation, as the cycle exceeds 35 days).

5. Q5Short answer·3 marks
   The coach of a 14-year-old student, Ravi, recorded his moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in minutes for each day of one week: Monday 50, Tuesday 70, Wednesday 40, Thursday 65, Friday 35, Saturday 90 and Sunday 28. (a) Calculate Ravi's average daily duration of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity for the week, in minutes. [1] (b) State whether Ravi meets the WHO daily guideline for his age group. Give a reason. [1] (c) By how many minutes per day, on average, must Ravi increase his activity to meet the guideline? [1]
   Show answer and step marks

   1. (a) Total minutes = 50 + 70 + 40 + 65 + 35 + 90 + 28 = 378 min+0.5
   2. (a) Average = $378 \div 7 = 54$ min per day+0.5
   3. (b) WHO guideline for ages 5–17 is an average of at least 60 min per day of moderate-to-vigorous activity; 54 min is less than 60 min, so Ravi does not meet it+1
   4. (c) Required increase = $60 - 54 = 6$ min per day+1

   Answer: (a) 54 min per day; (b) No, his average of 54 min is below the 60 min guideline; (c) 6 min per day
