1. For most canddates ths queston was a good source of marks. Hypotheses were usually correctly phrased n terms of ndependence or assocaton and the calculatons were usually clearly set out although some napproprate roundng sometmes gave an answer of 3.56. The degrees of freedom and crtcal value caused few problems and most gave a correct concluson n context.. There were some excellent responses wth a large number of correct answers seen. It was unusual not to see hypotheses well stated and the concluson gven correctly n context. 3. Ths queston was answered well and most canddates scored full or almost full marks. The xpected frequences were almost always correct as was the calculaton of the test statstc. Occasonally the hypotheses were the wrong way around and sometmes the concluson was not gven n context. 4. Many canddates produced completely correct solutons to ths queston. Ill-defned hypotheses, poor arthmetc and not gvng the concluson n context were the common errors. 5. Ths queston was very well done wth even very weak canddates managng to gan 11 or 1 marks. Some canddates tred to use percentages rather than frequences and a few dd not seem able to use the χ table correctly. As s often the case hypotheses were sometmes reversed. 6. There was a szeable group of canddates who answered ths queston well as they were able to demonstrate a good grasp of the mathematcal technque requred. The most common errors nvolved accuracy n the workng, careless defntons of the hypotheses and mssng context n the concluson. dexcel Internal Revew 10
