Image pending generation: map for Q1.
2. On the same map, a lake has a grid reference of 4826. What is the six-figure grid reference for a point at the centre of the lake if it is 0.3 grid squares east and 0.4 grid squares north of the 4826 corner? [2]
3. The bar graph shows the number of tourists visiting a town from 2019 to 2022.
2019: 120, 2020: 80, 2021: 150, 2022: 200 (in thousands).
In which year was there the largest increase in tourists compared to the previous year? [1]

Image pending generation: graph for Q7.
8. State one advantage of using a bar graph instead of a table for the tourist data. [1]
Section B: Data Tables and Interpretation (Questions 9–14) [12 marks]
The table below shows rainfall (mm) and visitor count at a park.
| Month | Rainfall (mm) | Visitors |
|---|---|---|
| Jan | 200 | 500 |
| Feb | 150 | 700 |
| Mar | 100 | 900 |
| Apr | 50 | 1100 |
9. Which month had the highest number of visitors? [1]
10. Calculate the total rainfall over the four months. [2]
11. Describe the relationship between rainfall and visitor numbers shown in the table. [2]

Image pending generation: map for Q12.
13. Convert 200 mm rainfall to cm. [1]
14. If a stratified sample of 40 visitors is taken from the total, and Feb has 700 of 3200 total visitors, how many Feb visitors should be sampled? [2]
15. The total visitors = 500+700+900+1100 = 3200. What is the ratio of Jan visitors to Apr visitors in simplest form? [1]
16. State why a researcher might use a questionnaire instead of observation to collect visitor data. [2]

Total Marks: 40
Section A Answers (16 marks)
Q1 [2 marks]
Actual distance = map distance × scale denominator = 4 cm × 25 000 = 100 000 cm.
Convert to km: 100 000 cm ÷ 100 000 = 1 km.
Answer: 1 km.
Teaching note: Map scale 1:25 000 means 1 unit on map = 25 000 same units on ground. Always convert cm to km by ÷100 000.
Q2 [2 marks]
Four-figure 4826 means square easting 48, northing 26. Add 0.3×100=30 to easting → 483; add 0.4×100=40 to northing → 266. Six-figure: 483266.
Answer: 483266.
Common mistake: mixing order; always easting first then northing.
Q3 [1 mark]
Increases: 2020 vs 2019 = -40 (drop); 2021 vs 2020 = +70; 2022 vs 2021 = +50. Largest increase = 2021.
Answer: 2021.
Q4 [2 marks]
Decrease = (120−80)/120 × 100 = 40/120 × 100 = 33.3%.
Answer: 33.3% decrease.
Marking: 1 mark formula, 1 mark answer.
Q5 [1 mark]
Smallest % = 15% Others. Angle = 15% × 360° = 54°.
Answer: Others (54°).
Teaching: pie angle = % × 3.6.
Q6 [1 mark]
From X to Y south-east.
Answer: South-east (SE).
Q7 [2 marks]
Mean = (26+28+30+31+32)/5 = 147/5 = 29.4°C.
Answer: 29.4°C.
Q8 [1 mark]
