Section A: Statistics

1a) eg
 For every extra mile from Boris’ home, the price of petrol increases by 1.13 pence
 As the distance goes up by 1, the price goes up by 1.13 pence
A1
(1)
b) p = 113 + 1.13 × 5.8 M1
= 119.554p

Either
The petrol price at the new petrol station should be very slightly lower than the price at A.
A1
Or
The petrol price at the new petrol station should be roughly the same as the price at A.

c) Unlikely to be accurate as 70 miles lies a long way outside the data range given.

2a) Σ(t – 5) = 55, t = 10
Σt – 5n = 55
10n – 5n = 55 W1

5n = 55
n = 11 A1
(2)
b) 1 knot = 1.15 mph
10 mph ÷ 1.15 = 8.69565…
= 8.70 knots (3sf) A1 (awrt 8.70)
(1)
c) Average daily mean wind speed in 1987 = 10 knots
Average daily mean wind speed in 2015 = 8.70 knots
The average daily mean wind speed was lower in 2015 / higher in 1987 A1
(1)
d) eg
 The data set only covers May to Oct
 The data set does not cover the whole year
A1
(1)
e) More reliable if eg
 Obtains data for Nov to Apr to be able to compare the full year
 Use a larger sample size so that the sample is more representative

A1 must include an explanation for why their suggestion would give a more
reliable comparison
(1)
f) More comprehensive if eg
 Considers standard deviation / variance / IQR in order to compare the spread of the
data
 Considers the median to remove the effect of outliers
 Considers the mode to compare the frequency of the daily mean wind speed values

A1 must include an explanation for why their suggestion would give a more
comprehensive comparison
