6 1 Must be a fraction

Examiner's Comments

Candidates were usually

very good at identifying 90°
and a large number gave
the correct fraction (usually
simplified). Many did not
give their answer in fraction
form and some seemed to
want to use the fraction and
actually work out the
number of people it
represented. This often led
to an answer of 36 having
evaluated a quarter of 144.
Others gave the fraction as
90/144.

The increased difficulty

level in part (iii) meant few
marks were awarded.
Those who gave a correct
fraction usually converted
this to a percentage. Many
answered 16, 16/50 or 32%
having read from the "25 to
less than 40“ bar only.
Others correctly added the
two bars but either did not
write the corresponding
fraction or did not use 50 for
the total number of women.
37% was a common wrong

women surveyed.

iv Examiner's Comments

Difficulties in interpreting
the graph meant that many
struggled to compare the
wages in (iv). A lot of
candidates seemed to think
that the bar heights in each
group were showing actual
wages, rather than the
number of men / women
with earnings in that range.

Many candidates were able

to state that ‘men earned
more than women’ fewer
supported this with figures
from the graph. When data
was used to support their
argument it was not always
appreciated that they
needed to compare like with
like. For example data for
women in one interval was
sometimes compared with
data for men in a different
interval.

Examiner's Comments

This part introduced a

variety of different methods
many of which could score
M1 for a first step in a
correct calculation. There
often appeared to be
confusion about how to
proceed with the results of
this calculation and many
failed to gain any further
credit. The calculation 360
÷ 150 × 144 appeared as a
common error. The concept
of the required answer
being a fraction of 144 was
not often fully realised and
many examples of incorrect
mixing of degrees and
people were seen. The 90°
angle was often equated
with 36 people without
further progress being
made. A correct answer
sometimes resulted from
totally incorrect working
and, as such, scored no
marks.

Examiner's Comments

Whilst a majority of
candidates scored 2 marks,
there were some who gave
the answer of 58 and had
forgotten to subtract from
60. Candidates should be
encouraged to write their
sum in a vertical list as this
usually leads to fewer
addition errors. In some
cases candidates clearly
had attempted to sum the
required numbers but
obtained the incorrect total
resulting in an incorrect final
solution. Had they shown
evidence of working, in
most of these cases they
would have achieved the
method mark. These
candidates need reminding
that methods must be
shown regardless of the
difficulty of the numerical
calculations.

Examiner's Comments

There were a few students

who gave good responses,
demonstrating a sound
understanding of how a pie
chart works. Some did not
realise that they needed to
measure the angle and use
proportion, for which the
arithmetic was quite
straightforward. A few
attempted to divide the
circle into parts without
measuring the angle but
this approach lacked
accuracy and resulted in
answers such as 9

Most candidates
understand the principle of
a pie chart and only a few
used the raw data as
angles giving a circle with
only a quarter shaded in, for
which no credit was given.
Some of the angles were
not accurate but most, of
course, realised that there
needed to be an angle of
180° for education.
Labelling was generally
good. There were lots of
fully correct solutions
appropriately presented.

Some sectors were drawn

freehand, rather than with a
ruler. Candidates must
realise that appearance and
accuracy are important
