2 Section A This question is compulsory. 1 A group of students wanted to find out whether there is a relationship between the size of beach sediments and the number of tourist accommodation located nearby. They decided to carry out their study on northeast of Bintan (Fig. 1 in Insert), an island in Indonesia. They identified two beaches at B intan – Trikora One Beach along the east coast, and Pasir Panjang Beach located at the north coast. At each beach, the students collected data on the size of the beach sediments. They divided each beach into ten transects and collected 20 beach materials along each transect, of 20m apart, to calculate the average size of beach sediments there. Their results are shown in Fig. 2 below. Size of beach sediments Distance along beach from first transect (m) Fig. 2
