    Bar and line graph showing monthly average temperatures (red line) and rainfall (blue bars).

  • True or False?

    Knowledge development is needed in the data response questions to earn credit.

    False.

    Knowledge development of the data provided in the exam is not required and will not earn credit.

  • True or False?

    In a scatter graph, data points are connected.

    False.

    In a scatter graph, a line of best fit can be used but data points are not connected.

  • Name the three types of correlation.

    The three types of correlation are:

    • Positive: as one variable increases so do the others

    • Negative: as one variable increases, the other decreases

    • No correlation: the data points are scattered.

  • What is the formula for calculating percentage change?

    The calculation for percentage change is:

    p e r c e n t a g e space c h a n g e space equals fraction numerator f i n a l space v a l u e space minus o r i g i n a l space v a l u e over denominator o r i g i n a l space v a l u e end fraction cross times 100

  • What does Spearman's rank test?

    Spearman's rank tests if two sets of numbers have a relationship or correlate.

  • True or False?

    Spearman's rank shows the correlation and significance of the relationship.

    False.

    Whilst Spearman's rank can show if two sets of numbers are correlated, it does not show how significant the link between the two values are
