The table shows the examination marks for mathematics and physics for each of 9 students. [Table with Mathematics mark and Physics mark] [Scatter diagram grid with Mathematics mark on x-axis and Physics mark on y-axis]
- (a)Complete the scatter diagram. The first 6 points have been plotted for you.[2]
- (b)On the grid, draw a line of best fit.[1]
- (c)Xavier scored 75 marks in the physics exam but was absent for the mathematics exam. Use your line of best fit to find an estimate of his mathematics mark.[1]
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2025). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- 4(a) Three points plotted correctly [2] B1 for 2 correct plots
- 4(b) Ruled line of best fit [1]
- 4(c) Reading from their straight line of best fit with positive gradient at 75 marks for physics [1]
