(a.i) [2]

Markscheme

(M1)
370+472

Note: This (M1) can also be awarded for either a correct Q3 or a correct Q1
in part (a)(ii).

Q3 = 421 A1

[2 marks]

(a.ii) [2]

Markscheme

their part (a)(i) – their Q1 (clearly stated) (M1)

IQR = (421 − 318 =) 103 A1

[2 marks]

(b) [3]

Markscheme

(Q3 + 1. 5(IQR) =) 421 + (1. 5 × 103) (M1)

= 575. 5
 since 498 < 575. 5 R1

Netherlands is not an outlier A1

Note: The R1 is dependent on the (M1). Do not award R0A1.

[3 marks]

(c) [2]

Markscheme

not appropriate (“no” is sufficient) A1

as r is too close to zero / too weak a correlation R1

(e.i) [2]

Markscheme

rs = 0. 683 (0. 682646 …) A2

[2 marks]

(e.ii) [1]

Markscheme

EITHER

there is a (positive) association between the population size and the score
A1
 OR

there is a (positive) linear correlation between the ranks of the population

size and the ranks of the scores (when compared with the PMCC of 0. 249).
A1

[1 mark]

(f ) [1]

Markscheme

lowering the top score by 20 does not change its rank so rs is unchanged
R1

Note: Accept “this would not alter the rank” or “Netherlands still top rank”
or similar. Condone any statement that clearly implies the ranks have not
changed, for example: “The Netherlands still has the highest score.”

[2 marks]

(b.i) [1]

Markscheme

the (mean) yearly change in (mean annual) temperature A1

Note: Accept equivalent statements, e.g. “rate of change of temperature”.

[1 mark]

(b.ii) [1]

Markscheme

°C / year OR degrees C per year A1

Note: Do not follow through from part (b)(i) into (b)(ii).

 [1 mark]

(c) [2]

Markscheme

attempt to substitute point and gradient into appropriate formula (M1)

8. 73 = 0. 00288 × 1708 + c ⇒ c = 3. 81096 …

or

9. 45 = 0. 00288 × 1958 + c ⇒ c = 3. 81096.

equation is y = 0. 00288x + 3. 81 A1

[2 marks]

(d) [2]

Markscheme

attempt to substitute 2000 into their part (c) (M1)

0. 0028 × 2000 + 3. 81096 …

= 9. 57 (°C) (9. 57096 …) A1

[2 marks]

(e.i) [2]
 Markscheme

y = 0. 00256x + 4. 46 (0. 00255714 … x + 4. 46454 …)

(M1)A1

Note: Award (M1)A0 for answers that show the correct method, but are
presented incorrectly (e.g. no “y =” or truncated values etc.). Accept
4. 465 as the correct answer to 4 sf.

[2 marks]

(e.ii) [1]

Markscheme

0. 861 (0. 861333 …) A1

[1 mark]

(f ) [2]

Markscheme

attempt to substitute 2000 into their part (e)(i) (M1)

0. 00255714 × 2000 + 4. 46454 ….

= 9. 58 (°C) (9. 57882 … (°C)) A1

Note: Award A1 for 9. 57 from 0. 00255714 × 2000 + 4. 46.

 [2 marks]

(g) [2]

Markscheme

cannot (always reliably) make a prediction of x from a value of y, when

using a y on x line / regression line is not x on y A1
