Stage 9 - Q1 - 4 marks
These are transport categories for one survey. Choose a suitable diagram, sketch it, and explain why a frequency polygon is unsuitable.
Hint
Decide whether the horizontal variable is categorical or numerical.
Stage 9 - Q2 - 4 marks
Choose and draw a diagram to show how these temperatures change over time.
Hint
Time order is meaningful in this dataset.
Stage 9 - Q3 - 4 marks
Eight observations each pair a sensor setting x with a response y. Choose a diagram to investigate association, and sketch it.
Hint
There are two numerical measurements for each observation.
Stage 9 - Q4 - 5 marks
Choose a display that compares these two small sets of times while preserving every exact value. Construct it with keys.
Hint
A grouped graph hides exact values; the requested display should retain them.
Stage 9 - Q5 - 4 marks
The completion times are grouped into equal-width numerical intervals. Draw a suitable display for the distribution shape and name one piece of information it cannot recover.
Hint
Class midpoints provide the horizontal positions.
Stage 9 - Q6 - 4 marks
A survey splits 90 pupils among clubs A, B, C with counts 15, 30, 45. A pie chart will show parts of the whole. Find all sector angles and explain why a mean club label is meaningless.
Hint
Use the full survey count as each fraction denominator.
Stage 9 - Q7 - 4 marks
The bars compare two counts. Explain how the vertical scale exaggerates their difference, give the actual difference, and redraw with a zero baseline.
Hint
Compare the axis starting value with the actual counts.
Stage 9 - Q8 - 4 marks
A survey splits 60 pupils among clubs A, B, C with counts 10, 20, 30. A pie chart will show parts of the whole. Find all sector angles and explain why a mean club label is meaningless.
Hint
Use the full survey count as each fraction denominator.
Stage 9 - Q9 - 4 marks
The bars compare two counts. Explain how the vertical scale exaggerates their difference, give the actual difference, and redraw with a zero baseline.
Hint
Compare the axis starting value with the actual counts.
Stage 9 - Q10 - 6 marks
Separate surveys found 12 approvals out of 20 for design A and 18 out of 40 for design B. A poster uses the approval counts to claim B has the higher approval rate. Design a fair display and evaluate the claim and its limits.
Hint
The question is about approval rates, not the total number of approvals.
