Rock	B1	Do not accept 26

Mark scheme (c)

Scheme	Marks	Comments
60	B1	FT 7.5 × ‘their (a)’ provided the answer is an integer If they state 26, 20 and 14 with at most one error, then B0 for their total for (c) but FT for their difference in part (d) and their heights in (e)

Scheme	Marks	Comments
12	B1	FT ‘their 26’ – ‘their 14’ if consistent with their key or if consistent with their answer to part (c) provided the answer is an integer

Mark scheme (e)

Scheme	Marks	Comments
Labels on both axes	B1	Horizontal axis labels may be on bars; allow eg ‘students’ for vertical axis
Uniform scale on vertical axis	B1
All bars of equal width correct	B1	FT ‘their 8’ for the heights provided heights are integers; otherwise, if no key, allow heights consistent with parts(c) and part (d) Bars must have correct heights (26, 20, 14), allow inconsistent-width gaps or no gaps FT their scale if possible If FT and heights are odd, allow e.g. a height of 13 to be drawn halfway between a scale marked at 12 and 14 etc even if not on gridlines
