### History and Feedback

Saved a checkpoint:

As I said in one of our meetings, my main goal in creating this question was to show students that two equal means don't mean two equal distributions and to play around with the fact that all measures of average can be misleading when interpreted incorrectly. I started another question as advised by Chris, Christian and Lauren about salaries (many poor people vs few very rich residents leads to false beliefs about average salary in the area) but I don't think I'll manage to get it done up to a point where someone else can finish it, so I think someone else just needs to start that question from the scratch. A histogram could be included in the Salaries question. I tried to play around with Geogebra so I could include graphs in my future questions, but I did not have time to finish this successfully, so someone else may need to do this to cover the GCSE statistics.

This is a very good question, there isn't really much i would change just a few minor things.

a) You don't need the "first" in the first sentence here as there is only one column for Sweet Heaven.

When you say "Similarly for Tasty Hell:" i think the colon should just be a comma but i'm not 100% sure.

b) You could maybe split up this paragraph by starting a new line after each sentence, but it's up to you.

Thank you Chris, I have used [3pt].

Good question. Just a couple of things:

In the statement you say that the shops will be referred to as $s$ and $t$, but this notation is not used in the question itself, just the advice, so why not introduce this shorthand at the start of the advice instead.

In your advice, you have several calculations involving fractions inside the align environment. This is fine, however you will notice that they appear quite squashed with the default line spacing. You could add [1pt] (play around with the number) immediately after the line-break (the \\) to add additional line spacing, e.g.

\overline{s} &= \frac{\sum s}{n} \\[2pt]

This variable is an HTML node. HTML nodes can not be relied upon to work correctly when resuming a session - for example, attached event callbacks will be lost, and mathematical notation will likely also break.

If this causes problems, try to create HTML nodes where you use them in content areas, instead of storing them in variables.

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

No parts have been defined in this question.

Select a part to edit.

The correct answer is an equation. Use the accuracy tab to generate variable values satisfying this equation so it can be marked accurately.

#### Checking accuracy

Define the range of points over which the student's answer will be compared with the correct answer, and the method used to compare them.

#### Variable value generators

Give expressions which produce values for each of the variables in the expected answer. Leave blank to pick a random value from the range defined above, following the inferred type of the variable.

#### String restrictions

Both choices and answers must be defined for this part.

##### Base marking algorithm

#### Test that the marking algorithm works

Check that the marking algorithm works with different sets of variables and student answers using the interface below.

Create unit tests to save expected results and to document how the algorithm should work.

There's an error which means the marking algorithm can't run:

#### Unit tests

No unit tests have been defined. Enter an answer above, select one or more notes, and click the "Create a unit test" button.

The following tests check that the question is behaving as desired.

### This test has not been run yet This test produces the expected output This test does not produce the expected output

This test is not currently producing the expected result. Fix the marking algorithm to produce the expected results detailed below or, if this test is out of date, update the test to accept the current values.

One or more notes in this test are no longer defined. If these notes are no longer needed, you should delete this test.

When you need to change the way this part works beyond the available options, you can write JavaScript code to be executed at the times described below.

Run this script the built-in script.

This script runs after the built-in script.

To account for errors made by the student in earlier calculations, replace question variables with answers to earlier parts.

In order to create a variable replacement, you must define at least one variable and one other part.

The variable replacements you've chosen will cause the following variables to be regenerated each time the student submits an answer to this part:

These variables have some random elements, which means they're not guaranteed to have the same value each time the student submits an answer. You should define new variables to store the random elements, so that they remain the same each time this part is marked.
