The table shows the age and value of 10 cars of the same model. Age (years) 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 6 8 8 Value () 5500 6200 4200 4000 4000 3700 4500 3000 1500 2000 [Figure showing a scatter diagram with x-axis 'Age (years)' from 0 to 12 and y-axis 'Value ()' from 0 to 7000. Six points are pre-plotted.]

  1. (a)(i)Complete the scatter diagram. The first 6 points have been plotted for you.[2]
  2. (a)(ii)Draw a line of best fit.[1]
  3. (a)(iii)Use your line of best fit to find an estimate for the value of a car of this model that is 7 years old.[1]
  4. (a)(iv)Jay has a car of this model that is 12 years old and he wants to find its value. Explain why Jay should not use this scatter diagram to find an estimate for the value of this car.[1]
  5. (b)Jay records the distances travelled by 50 cars. The frequency table shows the results. Distance (d thousand km) 10 < d ≤ 40 40 < d ≤ 50 50 < d ≤ 60 60 < d ≤ 100 Frequency 8 14 11 17 (i) Work out the fraction of the cars that have travelled more than 50000 km. Give your answer in its simplest form.[1]
  6. (b)(ii)Find the interval that contains the median.[1]
  7. (b)(iii)Calculate an estimate of the mean distance travelled.[3]

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2024). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [2] 4 points plotted correctly
  2. [B1] for 2 or 3 correct plots
  3. [1] Ruled line of best fit
  4. [1] Reading from their ruled line of best fit at 7 years
  5. [1] Outside range of data oe
  6. [1] OR 12 would give a negative value [which is impossible] oe
  7. [1] OR The line of best fit does not go as far as 12 oe
  8. [1] 14/25 cao
  9. [1] 50 < d ≤ 60
  10. [3] 55.9
  11. [B1] for correct midpoints soi
  12. [M1] for (8 × 25 + 14 × 45 + 11 × 55 + 17 × 80) / 50
