A time series graph is drawn to represent the data.

(b) Use the graph to estimate the average daily time per student in 2020 [1 mark]
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Plots at least 3 points correctly | M1 | \(\pm\dfrac{1}{2}\) square |
| All four points correctly plotted and joined | A1 | \(\pm\dfrac{1}{2}\) square ignore working for part (b) |
Additional guidance
\(\pm\dfrac{1}{2}\) square means half a small square horizontally and vertically
If a point is within tolerance the line must be within \(\pm\dfrac{1}{2}\) square of their point
Mark intention for joining point to point
