    whisker diagram below illustrates the results of Class B. Both classes have 25 learners. (Marks
    are given in %.)

    The marks of the learners in The box and whisker diagram for the learners
    Class A are: in Class B is:

    9 14 14 19 21

    Note:
    If the candidate combines the answer of 1.1 and 1.2 by drawing the correct box and
    whisker diagram in 1.2 and writes the numbers on the diagram (i.e. we mark question 1.1
    and 1.2 in conjunction with one another), max 5 / 6 marks for question 1.1 and 1.2

    If candidate writes numbers randomly in 1.1 and draws the box and whisker diagram
    correctly but without indicating the numbers on the diagram, then max 5 / 6 marks for
    question 1.1 and 1.2

    If candidate just draws the box and whisker in 1.2 and does not indicate values on it or
    answers 1.1, the max 2 / 6 marks

    If the candidate draws two diagrams (one in the answer book and one on the diagram
    sheet), mark the one on the DIAGRAM SHEET.
