| Topic | Measures of Location and Spread |
| Type | Compare multiple measures numerically |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.8 This question requires only direct reading from a frequency table: mid-range is (0+5)/2, mode is the highest frequency category (0), and describing distribution as positively skewed. All are basic recall tasks with no calculation complexity or problem-solving required, making it significantly easier than average A-level questions. |
