Higher June 2023 Paper 1R Q14
14 The table gives information about the times taken by 80 people to run a race.
| Time taken (\(t\) minutes) | Frequency |
|---|---|
| \(50 \lt t \leqslant 60\) | 15 |
| \(60 \lt t \leqslant 70\) | 16 |
| \(70 \lt t \leqslant 80\) | 21 |
| \(80 \lt t \leqslant 90\) | 14 |
| \(90 \lt t \leqslant 100\) | 8 |
| \(100 \lt t \leqslant 110\) | 6 |
| Time taken (\(t\) minutes) | Cumulative frequency |
|---|---|
| \(50 \lt t \leqslant 60\) | |
| \(50 \lt t \leqslant 70\) | |
| \(50 \lt t \leqslant 80\) | |
| \(50 \lt t \leqslant 90\) | |
| \(50 \lt t \leqslant 100\) | |
| \(50 \lt t \leqslant 110\) |

| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| 15, 31, 52, 66, 74, 80 | B1 |
| (1) |
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| M1 | |
| Correct cf curve | A1 |
| (2) |
Notes
M1: ft from table for at least 5 points plotted correctly at end of interval or ft from sensible table for all 6 points plotted consistently within each interval in the freq table at the correct height
A1: accept curve or line segments
accept curve that is not joined at (50,0)
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct answer scores full marks (unless from obvious incorrect working) Answer: 73 – 75 | B1ft |
| (1) |
Notes
B1ft: ft their cumulative frequency graph
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| NB: readings are 62.5 – 64 and 85 – 86.5 (but for this M1 these do not have to be correct if correct working is shown – eg lines or marks indicating use of CF 20 (or 20.25) and CF 60 (or 60.75) with an indication on the Time Taken axis at the correct points (or they can just show the correct readings)) | M1ft |
| If answer is in the given range, then award the marks – unless from obvious incorrect working Answer: 21 to 24 | A1ft |
| (2) | |
| (6 marks) |
Notes
M1ft: For correct use of LQ and UQ, ft from a cum freq graph provided method is shown – eg a line horizontally to the graph from readings of CF 20 and CF 60 to meet the graph and then a vertical line to the Time Taken axis (even if wrongly read scale) or clear marks on the graph and Time Taken axis that correspond to the correct readings or correct values from the Time Taken axis
A1ft: Accept a single value in range 21 to 24 or ft from their cumulative frequency graph provided method is shown
