Foundation June 2024 Paper 1 Q7
7 The table shows the number of hours that Lena and Pavel worked on each of four days last week.
| Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lena | 6 | 9 | 8 | 6 |
| Pavel | 7 | 6 | 5 | 6 |
On the grid, draw a suitable diagram or chart for this information. (4)

| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| Bar chart | M1 | for a key, or suitable labels, to identify Lena and Pavel |
| M1 | for 3 or 4 correct labels for days or a linear scale present | |
| M1 | for a (bar) chart correctly showing data for at least 1 person or 2 days | |
| C1 | for a fully correct (bar) chart with labels for days of the week, vertical axis correctly scaled and labelled and key/labels for Lena and Pavel |
Additional guidance
Accept bar chart, vertical line graph, dual/multiple bar chart, composite bar chart, frequency polygon for all marks.
Accept unambiguous abbreviations for labels eg L, P
Allow linear scale not starting at 0
Scale must be marked on grid lines.
Bars / lines / points must be unambiguously correct for their scale (scale must be present).
Allow for correctly showing total hours worked for all four days on chart (13, 15, 13, 12)
Horizontal axis does not need an overall ‘day’ label
Condone frequency for number of hours.
For C mark scale must start at 0 and be linear for the range of values plotted.
Condone bars of unequal width
Condone no gaps or inconsistent gaps
