Practice Paper: Map, Graph & Data Skills (Version 3) - Answer Key

Section A: Data Representation and Graph Interpretation (21 marks)

1. [3 marks]
Answer: Use a single line graph with months on x-axis and rainfall (mm) on y-axis; plot four lines (one per station) with a clear legend (A, B, C, D).
Teaching: A line graph compares trends over time for multiple sites. Marks: 1 for graph type, 1 for axes/labeling, 1 for legend/multiple lines. Common mistake: separate graphs.

2. [2 marks]
Answer: Tourist numbers fell sharply in 2020 (to 45k), then rose steadily to 165k in 2024, exceeding 2019 level.
Teaching: Read bars: 2019=120, 2020=45 (drop), 2021=60, 2022=95, 2023=140, 2024=165. Marks: 1 for decline noted, 1 for recovery/increase.

3. [2 marks]
Answer: Line graph; reason: shows continuous change over time (2-hour intervals).
Teaching: Time-series data → line graph. Marks: 1 type, 1 reason.

4. [3 marks]
Answer: Stacked bar chart (or grouped bar) with districts on x-axis, % on y-axis, categories as segments/colors with legend.
Teaching: Compares composition. Marks: 1 graph choice, 1 axes, 1 legend/categories.

5. [1 mark]
Answer: 08:00 (hour 8) where value 28 km/h peak.

Answer: Pie chart shows proportion of whole directly (e.g., 40% plastic). Marks: 1 advantage, 1 elaboration.

7. [3 marks]
Answer: Use a base map with dots/circles sized by count at each corner; or choropleth if zones. Marks: 1 map base, 1 symbol size, 1 location label.

Section B: Data Calculation and Reliability (21 marks)

8. [2 marks]
