Hi. Any predictions what is going to be in this paper based off of the last one?

I mean, its been a few days since paper 1 now and I think i've blocked it from my mind 😂 but I'm doing higher and i made a list of the things I don't think came up too much:
-6 marker on enquiry cycle (or maybe there was, idk)
-Spearman's rank correlation coefficient/Pearson's
-Standard deviation
-Tables/charts (maybe drawing a pie chart)
-Correlation
So yeahh, i found there were lots of interpreting questions of topics but without needing to calculate, so maybe that's coming up. Please tell me if anyone finds any others I really need to start revising!

Predicted paper if anyone wants it (I made it) has all the likely topics:
Q1 = Box and whiskers Diagrams
Q2 = Chloropleth Maps and Censuses
Q3 = Petersen capture recapture
Q4 = Extended response on investigation plans and improvements
Q5 = Comparing data sets and experiments + sampling key words
Q6 = Representing data and Risk
Q7 = Index numbers, chain index, crude rates of change, CPI and RPI, Examples of secondary data
Q8 = Venn diagrams and Conditional probability
Q9 = Stem and leaf diagrams, airthmetic mean, outliers (+calc), skew, evaluating different ways to represent data graphically
Q10 = Stratified sampling and Pilot studies
Q11 = All about normal distributions including comparisons and %
Q12 = All about correlation and regression including scatter plots, PMCC, averages and correlation calculations https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dYDVL2030NSnuQ7LiaXmA_LspHK8YAC73_4SHacYfO0/edit?usp=sharing

Topics not on there but high probabiliyt (because I thought they couldn't be fitted onto the 80 marks as they were the easier stuff):
Geometric means
Skew calculations
Controlling extraneous variables
Standardized rates of change
Cleaning data

Can you please tell me the answers for Q11?

a) normal
b) A has lower spread/sd compared to B but they have the same mean
c) N (μ, σ^2)
d) 68%
e) 1. Symetrical

1.

mode, median and mean roughly equal

How did you find it?

My predicted paper had all the topics so I thought it was brilliant only the 3 marker on comparing regressions was kind of ambiguous
it was good but the bones question I started yapping

Yeah me to people were saying you can get somthing else because it depends how you rank them but idk

only answer is -0.68 or whatever the decimal was
