(b) (i) 50%
(ii) 38.1%
(c)
Percentage of students in Class B with extra time in the 2nd Round is 50%,
whereas that of students of Class A is 100% - 38.1% = 61.9%.

Thus, Class A did better.

Alternative comparison:
Class B did better as they had a higher mean / median than that of Class A.

Alternative comparison:
Class A did better as more students entered round two than that of Class B.

(d) Any two suggestions:
1. Change the vertical/’Percentages of students’ axis / scale / bar graph to start
from zero.
2. Resize the width/breadth of the Game A and Game B bars to be of the same
width/ breadth. OR Ensure the bars of Game A and B are of proportionate sizes.
3. Recalculate the values as the total percentage does not add up to 100%.
