Information from Data
Geographers use data to spot patterns in places. This GCSE Geography quiz helps you practise reading graphs, maps and tables so you can explain what the patterns mean.

1 .
Which of the following statements about the population pyramid of Austria in 2015 is false?
Austrian men have a greater life expectancy than women
There are more males born than females
There are more people in their late 40s than in any other of the age groups
This shows that Austria is probably a MEDC
This type of population pyramid is called a constrictive pyramid and is typical of a country with a high life expectancy with good healthcare and education facilities
2 .
The graph shows the annual temperature as recorded at a weather station. Look at the mean temperature curve. What is the range of the data?
16
20
36
40
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest temperature, in this case, 20°C to 36°C
3 .
The graph shows how the use of fuels changed over a 20 year period in the USA. How might carbon dioxide emissions have changed?
The emissions increased
The emissions decreased
There was no change in the emissions
The use of fossil fuels does not have any effect on carbon dioxide emissions
The large reduction in the use of fossil fuels from 2008 reduced emissions significantly
4 .
Two of the population pyramids in the picture represent LEDCs, they are most likely to be:
A and B
B and C
C and D
A and D
A characteristic of the population of LEDCs is a young population
5 .
Which of the following statements about the graph is incorrect?
2013 was a warmer than average year for the location
In 2013, spring temperatures were below average
The temperature range in 2013 was 20°C
The biggest difference in temperature to the average temperature came in September
In September, the temperature was about eight degrees above normal
6 .
Look at the data illustrated for this question. Which of the following are the mean, median and mode in that order?
17.6, 2, 21
21.2, 5, 12
9.5, 8, 11
9.7, 9, 11
It is important that you can carry out statistical analysis of data
7 .
Look at the data presented in the graph. Which of the following statements is NOT false?
There is a positive correlation between the crude oil price and the UK goods trade balance
There is a negative correlation between the crude oil price and the UK goods trade balance
There is a no correlation between the crude oil price and the UK goods trade balance
Between the years 2000 and 2010, crude oil prices and the UK goods trade balance have remained constant
A negative correlation means that as one factor increases, the other decreases. The trade balance indicates the balance between imports and exports of a country. A negative figure indicates that a country imports more than it exports and vice-versa. The graph shown in this question shows the UK has a trade deficit, it imports more than it exports
8 .
The best way of presenting the data in this table would be (the figures are percentages):
as a table
as a scatter graph with trend line
as a pie chart
as a population pyramid
Data that is expressed in percentages that add up to 100% should be presented as a pie chart. It can be presented in other ways but pie charts make it very easy to see relationships between the data
9 .
The graph shows the annual temperature as recorded at a weather station. In which hemisphere is the station located?
Northern
Eastern
Southern
Western
The highest temperatures are in the summer. From the graph, you can see that is December and January threfore this must be situated in the southern hemisphere
10 .
Look at the data illustrated. What could the geography student do to improve the accuracy and reliability of their data?
Select and record more pebble sizes at each point on the transect
Use a larger font for the results
Draw a scatter graph with a trend line
Choose the largest pebble found within 10 cm of each transect point
When gathering primary data, you should plan to have as large a sample size as is practical
