2 0460/05/O/N/03 1 A group of students visited two shopping areas, A and B, in a city to investigate shopping habits. Area A is in the city centre and area B is a suburban shopping area. (a) The students made a preliminary visit to both shopping areas. Fig. 1 shows the observations made by one student in the preliminary visit. Fig. 1 One Student’s Observations of Shopping Area A and B (i) Give two reasons why these observations of the shopping areas may not be accurate.[2] (ii) Explain the difference between high and low order goods. [2] (b) A questionnaire was written after the preliminary visit. Table 1 (Insert) shows the questionnaire and the results from 50 shoppers recorded at each shopping area. Complete Fig. 2 (Insert) to show how people travelled to shopping area B. Use the key provided. [4] (c) Study Table 1 and the observations of the student (Fig. 1). For each question (Q1–Q4) on Table 1, describe and explain one difference between the shopping habits of shoppers in area A and in area B. [8] (d) One student decided to ask an additional question to investigate the length of time shoppers spent at each shopping area. (i) Suggest a wording of the question and the layout for recording the answers. [3] (ii) What do you think might be the results of this question in area A? Give reasons for your answer. [3] (e) The teacher instructed the students to record their own observations of people’s age and gender (male/female). (i) Explain why the teacher gave this instruction. [1] (ii) Why is age and gender information important to the investigation? [1] (iii) Describe the shoppers in area A and in area B using the information in Table 2 (Insert). [4] (iv) Outline two reasons why these results may not be representative of the people visiting areas A and B. [2] [Total: 30 marks]

3 0460/05/O/N/03 2 Students investigated a wadi (dry desert valley). The students tested the following hypothesis: ‘loose rocks and pebbles will be larger and more angular at the head of the wadi than at the base’. Fig. 4 (Insert) shows the plan of a wadi and four sites W, X, Y and Z. Site W is near the head of the wadi (higher area) and site Z is near the base of the wadi (lower area). At each site 20 pebbles were randomly selected and examined for size and shape. Pebble Size The size of each pebble was measured using a pebbleometer. A pebbleometer is a board containing measured squares of different sizes through which pebbles are passed to assess their size. Study Fig. 4 and Table 3 (Insert) showing the results recorded. (a) State two advantages of using a tally method to record the results. [2] (b) Pebble size can also be measured using callipers, two short lengths of metal hinged together, and a ruler. Describe this method in detail. [3] (c) Use the pebbleometer results to complete the divided graph for site X on Fig. 4. [4] (d) Students suggested that the loose rocks and pebbles were the result of flash floods or were the result of weathering. Explain why a flash flood may change the size, shape and position of pebbles in a wadi. [3] Pebble Shape At each site the students observed the sample of pebbles using a scale of roundness, shown in Fig. 3. The results are shown in Table 3. Fig. 3 (e) (i) Plot all the pebble shape results for sites W and Z on Fig. 4. [4] (ii) In detail, explain how weathering in this desert wadi may result in angular pebbles. [4] (f) Write a conclusion to this investigation. You should state if the hypothesis is correct and use evidence from pebble size and shape results to explain your decision. [5] (g) (i) Another group of students collected a larger sample of pebbles at each site and produced different average results for both size and shape. Suggest two possible reasons for this. [2] (ii) Describe and explain how a systematic sampling system may improve the reliability of the results.
