The pie chart summarises the ages of people at a science fair. [Figure showing a pie chart with sectors labeled 'Over 30', 'Under 16', '21 to 30', '16 to 20' and angles 54°, 72°, 144° shown within some sectors, and a right angle symbol]. 250 students entered a science competition. The table summarises their scores. Score (s) | 0 < s ≤ 40 | 40 < s ≤ 60 | 60 < s ≤ 70 | 70 < s ≤ 80 | 80 < s ≤ 100 Frequency | 36 | 48 | 64 | 60 | 42
- (a)(i)Write down the modal class.[1]
- (a)(ii)There were 90 people aged over 30 at the science fair. Calculate the number of people aged 16 to 20.[2]
- (b)(i)Complete the histogram to represent this data. [Figure X.X][3]
- (b)(ii)Students who scored 75 or more are awarded a distinction. Find an estimate for the percentage of the 250 students who were awarded a distinction.[2]

Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2021). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [1]
- [2] M1 for 90/54 [×144] or 144/54 [×90] or 54x = 90 × 144
- [3] B1 for 3 or more rectangles on correct bases B1 for 3 or more correct frequency densities soi
- [2] M1 for (30+42)/250 [×100] oe or for k/250 ×100, where 42 < k < 102 but k ≠ 75
