Notes:
These questions have been retyped from the original sample/specimen

assessment materials and whilst every effort has been made to ensure there
are no errors, any that do appear are mine and not the exam board s (similarly
any errors I have corrected from the originals are also my corrections and not
theirs!).
Please also note that the layout in terms of fonts, answer lines and space given
to each question does not reflect the actual papers to save space.
These questions have been collated by me as the basis for a GCSE working
party set up by the GLOW maths hub - if you want to get involved please get
in touch. The objective is to provide support to fellow teachers and to give you
a flavour of how different topics “could” be examined. They should not be used
to form a decision as to which board to use. There is no guarantee that a topic
will or won’t appear in the “live” papers from a specific exam board or that
examination of a topic will be as shown in these questions.

1. Lei is in a class of 28 students, 3 of whom are left-handed.

There are 1250 students in the school.
a) Use this information to estimate how many students in the school are left-handed.
a) ......................... [3]
b) Is your solution to (a) likely to be an overestimate or an underestimate?
Explain your reasoning.
[1]
c) Vid is at a different school.
He is in a class of 26 students, 6 of whom are left-handed.
Vid says to Lei:
In our two classes there are 54 students, 9 of whom are left-handed.
We can use this bigger sample to improve the estimate for your school.
What assumption has Vid made?
Explain whether you think that his argument is correct.

2. John wants to investigate whether men in the UK are better at estimating a time
interval of 10 seconds than women in the UK. He decides to sample the population
by asking his work colleagues to take the test.
The diagrams below summarise John’s results.
www.justmaths.co.uk Sampling (H) - Version 2 January 2016

a) What information from the diagrams can be used to support each of these
statements?
(i) The older John’s colleagues are, the lower their estimate is.
[1]
(ii) Males in the sample tend to underestimate the interval and females in the sample
tend to overestimate the interval.
[2]
b) Comment on whether any conclusions can be drawn for the UK population from the
results of this sample.

3. The speed of 50 vehicles was measured travelling along a road.
a) Every driver travelling at more than 70 mph is fined £60

On average, 8400 drivers use the road each day.
Estimate the total amount of money raised from fines on the road each day.

“4% of vehicles on the road travel at 40 mph or less.”
Explain why she might be wrong.
