What examiners said

Comprehensive responses • Many candidates gave the correct answer, usually by working in stages. Limited responses • Few made arithmetic errors in the multiplication, addition or subtraction.

— Examiner report, February/March 2026, 0580/32 Q4 (Cambridge)

Most candidates demonstrated a good understanding of the mean of grouped data and many obtained the correct answer. A few made slips, usually with one of the midpoint values. Incorrect methods usually involved the use of the class widths instead of midpoint values.

— Examiner report, February/March 2023, 0580/42 Q2(c)(i) (Cambridge)

Most candidates drew two correct bars in the histogram. Few candidates wrote down the frequency densities, so, if they had misinterpreted the scale on the frequency density axis, they could gain no credit.
