Higher June 2022 Paper 1 Q7
7 In a group of 98 students
- 25 study both Art and French
- 10 study Art but do not study French
- 41 study French.
Joel draws this Venn diagram to represent the information.
\(\xi\) = the group of 98 students
\(A\) = the students who study Art
\(F\) = the students who study French

Make two criticisms of his diagram. [2 marks]
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Valid criticism referring to one or both sets not being labelled | B1 | eg the circles should be labelled or the labels are missing |
| Valid criticism referring to the numbers not adding to 98 | B1 | eg the numbers add to 99 or 48 should be 47 SC1 no written criticisms, but circles labelled correctly and 48 changed to 47 on diagram |
Additional guidance
| Accept both statements written in one criticism | |
| For more than two criticisms mark the best two unless contradicted | |
| Condone written corrections as criticisms eg Add labels | B1 |
| Criticism 1 - There is no A label and Criticism 2 - There is no F label | B1B0 |
| Didn’t label the diagram | B1 |
| There are no subjects | B1 |
| The diagram doesn’t have labels/headings/titles | B1 |
| The diagram doesn’t have a label/heading/title | B0 |
| It doesn’t show how many study French | B0 |
| 48 is wrong/one of the numbers is wrong | B1 |
| There’s an extra student | B1 |
| It doesn’t add up correctly/the total is wrong | B1 |
| It doesn’t add up | B0 |
| The numbers are wrong | B0 |
| Do not accept an incorrect statement eg The number doing Art and French should be 47 | B0 |
| If a value is used as evidence it must be correct eg the total is 100, not 98 | B0 |
