The majority of candidates who were not awarded a mark tried to give an interpretation or an incorrect stat...

Many candidates drew an acceptable line of best fit. Some lines were too short. Candidates should aim to draw the line long enough to cover the location of all the plotted points at the very least, and longer if possible. It was common for candidates to join the given points freehand or to draw a line that although had plots either side, did not follow their trend and so were not awarded the mark....

Many candidates plotted the points accurately and joined the points with a correct cumulative frequency curve. A significant proportion of candidates were confused about what statistical diagram was required. Some plotted the points correctly but drew a line of best fit through the points. Others drew a histogram with bar widths of 2 cm.
