Teaching note: Add all values from the table. Common mistake: miscopying a number.

Q2 [1]
June (90 mm).
Teaching note: Read the highest bar from the graph values given.

Q3 [2]
Range = Max – Min = 90 – 30 = 60 mm.
[1] for identifying max 90, [1] for min 30 and subtraction.
Teaching note: Range shows spread of data.

Q4 [1]
