The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  9. 9th February 2026A researcher finds rs = 0.99 between a town's number of ice cream vans and its number of sunburn cases, and concludes the vans cause sunburn. Explain why this conclusion may be wrong.
  10. 10th February 2026A tick-box question has the options '0-10', '10-20', '20-30'. What problem would a pilot survey likely identify with this?

  14. 14th February 2026Two composite bars compare tea and coffee drinkers: Monday has a total of 60 drinks, of which 35 are tea; Tuesday has a total of 72 drinks, of which 40 are tea. On which day was a greater proportion of drinks tea?
  15. 15th February 2026A stem-and-leaf diagram has the row '1 | 4 7 9' with key '1|4 means 14'. What three data values does this row represent?
  16. 16th February 2026Explain why a value read from a cumulative frequency graph, such as the median, is described as an estimate rather than an exact value.
  17. 17th February 2026On a choropleth map shaded from white (lowest) to black (highest), a region is coloured mid-grey. What does this suggest about its value?
