Section 1: Scatter Diagrams and Correlation (Questions 1–7)

A researcher collects data on the number of hours spent studying ( $x$ ) and the final exam score ( $y$ ) for 10 students. Give a sketch of the scatter diagram for the data as shown on your calculator. [2]

Based on a scatter diagram showing a strong negative linear relationship, describe the correlation between the two variables. [1]
\
Given a set of data points, determine if the relationship is linear by observing the scatter plot. State your reason. [2]
\
A scatter diagram shows points closely clustered around a straight line with a positive gradient. What is the approximate value of the product-moment correlation coefficient $r$ ? [1]
\
Explain the difference between interpolation and extrapolation when using a regression line for prediction. [2]
\
A scatter diagram for the relationship between advertising spend and sales shows a wide dispersion of points. Comment on the reliability of using a linear regression model for this data. [2]
\
If the correlation coefficient $r$ is calculated as $-0.89$ , describe the strength and direction of the linear relationship. [2]
\

Section 2: Linear Regression (Questions 8–14)

For a given dataset of $x$ and $y$ , find the equation of the least squares regression line of $y$ on $x$ in the form $y = mx + c$ , giving $m$ and $c$ to 3 significant figures. [3]

\
Explain the meaning of the gradient $m$ in the context of a regression line relating "Age of Car" ( $x$ ) to "Market Value" ( $y$ ). [2]
\
A regression line is given by $y = 0.12x + 5.5$ . If the mean of $x$ is 20, find the mean of $y$ . [2]
\
Determine whether a prediction for $x = 100$ is an interpolation or extrapolation if the original data range for $x$ was $[10, 50]$ . [1]
\

Section 3: Stationary Points and Curve Analysis (Questions 15–20)

Find the exact $x$ -coordinate of the stationary point on the curve $y = 2x^2 - 8x + 5$ . [3]

\
Consider the curve $y = e^{2x} - 4x$ . Find the exact $x$ -coordinate of the stationary point. [3]

\
Determine the nature (maximum or minimum) of the stationary point found in Question 16. [2]

\
A curve is defined by $y = \frac{1}{3}x^3 - 2x + 1$ . Find the coordinates of the two stationary points. [4]

\
Find the exact $x$ -coordinate of the stationary point for the function $y = \ln(x) - \frac{1}{2}x$ . [3]

\
For the curve $y = x + \frac{4}{x}$ (where $x > 0$ ), find the exact coordinates of the stationary point and justify that it is a minimum. [4]

A-Level Maths H1 Quiz Answers - Graphs Coordinate Geometry

1. [2 marks]

1 mark for correctly labeled axes (Study Hours, Exam Score).
1 mark for a sketch showing a positive linear trend of points.

2. [1 mark] Strong negative linear correlation.

3. [2 marks]

1 mark for "Linear".
1 mark for "Points lie approximately on a straight line" or "No significant curvature observed".

4. [1 mark] $r$ is close to $+1$ (or $0.8 \leq r < 1.0$ ).

5. [2 marks]

Interpolation: Predicting within the range of the given data.
Extrapolation: Predicting outside the range of the given data.

6. [2 marks] The model is not very reliable because the low correlation (wide dispersion) suggests a weak linear relationship.

7. [2 marks] Strong (1 mark) negative (1 mark) linear relationship.

8. [3 marks]

1 mark for $\bar{x}, \bar{y}$ calculation.
1 mark for $m$ calculation.
1 mark for $c$ calculation and final equation $y = mx + c$ to 3 sig fig.

$y = 2.45(15) + 12.1 = 36.75 + 12.1 = 48.85$ .
2 marks for correct substitution and answer.

10. [2 marks]

1 mark for plotting two correct points (e.g., using $\bar{x}, \bar{y}$ ).
1 mark for a straight line passing through them.

11. [3 marks]

1 mark for correct formula for $a$ .
1 mark for correct formula for $b$ .
1 mark for final equation $t = ax + b$ to 4 decimal places.

12. [2 marks] The gradient represents the average decrease in market value for every one-year increase in the age of the car.

13. [2 marks]

$\bar{y} = 0.12(20) + 5.5 = 2.4 + 5.5 = 7.9$ .
2 marks for correct calculation.

14. [1 mark] Extrapolation (since $100 > 50$ ).

15. [3 marks]

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 4x - 8$ .
Set $4x - 8 = 0 \implies x = 2$ .
3 marks for correct derivative and solution.

16. [3 marks]

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2e^{2x} - 4$ .
$2e^{2x} = 4 \implies e^{2x} = 2 \implies 2x = \ln 2 \implies x = \frac{1}{2}\ln 2$ .
