[1 additional mark] ● Students could use simple random sampling as it is used to remove bias that could stem from the selection of visitors [1 mark]. A random number generator is used to generate random numbers to select the samples. [1 additional mark] ● Students collect the data on a Monday for 3 hours from 11am – 2pm to ensure a large sample size could be collected so that there is more data for comparison[1] ● Accept other types of sampling technique (2 m max) AO 2 [4 marks] 1 (b) (ii)

[1] AO3 [4 marks] 1 (c) ● Students can construct comparative bar graph. [1] ● For each attribute, there will be two bars placed side by side, one representing number replying yes and the other replying no. [1] ● The different attributes will be on the X axis and the number of respondents will be on the Y axis. [1] ● There sho
