  1. Core Maths Paper 2 – Online Nation 1) True or False: Instagram is roughly three times as popular as Twitter The number of 8-11 year olds using Instagram is about double the number of 5-7 year olds. The Twitter figures shown add up to 50% so the other 50% of Twitter users are over 16. A fifth of 8-11s and two thirds of 12-15s use Instagram Six in ten 12-15 year olds use Snapchat 2) Anthony tries to calculate the percentage for 5-15 as shown for Instagram: 3) The report gives the number of participants of each age group: Age 3-4 5-7 8-11 12-15 6 + 11 + 21 + 66 4 Quantity 261 263 696 699 Give two reasons why this method doesn’t give the correct answer of 35% a) How many 8-11s said they used Facebook? b) Verify that the 13% figure for 5-15s using Twitter could be correct Dave Gale https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0024/217824/children-and-parents-media-use-and-attitudes-chart-pack-2020-21.pdf P37

  2. Core Maths Paper 2 – Online Nation 2) Given that there were 177 fifteen year olds and 84 six year olds involved in the survey, show that about 130 more fifteen years than six year olds use chat/messaging 1) The survey used 180 people that were Age 8. Uses chat Doesn’t use chat TOTAL a) Show that the 83 value is correct Uses social media ** b) Use the values from the chart to work out the values of * and ** 3) Social Media usage for age 7 is 23% and for age 8 is 35%. The average for ages 7-8 is 31%. What does this tell you? Doesn’t use social media 83 c) Complete the table TOTAL * 180 https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0024/217824/children-and-parents-media-use-and-attitudes-chart-pack-2020-21.pdf P36

  3. Core Maths Paper 2 – Online Nation ANSWERS 1) True or False: Instagram is roughly three times as popular as Twitter Broadly True The number of 8-11 year olds using Instagram is about double the number of 5-7 year olds. False. The Twitter figures shown add up to 50% so the other 50% of Twitter users are over 16. False. A fifth of 8-11s and two thirds of 12-15s use Instagram True. Six in ten 12-15 year olds use Snapchat True. (Close enough) 3) The report gives the number of participants of each age group: 2) Anthony tries to calculate the percentage for 5-15 as shown for Instagram: Age 3-4 5-7 8-11 12-15 Quantity 261 263 696 699 6 + 11 + 21 + 66 4 a) How many 8-11s said they used Facebook? 696 × 0.22 = 153.12 so 153 Give two reasons why this method doesn’t give the correct answer of 35% b) Verify that the 13% figure for 5-15s using Twitter could be correct 5-7 0.04 × 263 = 10.5 8-11 Is including the 3-4 group. 12-15 0.23 × 699 = 160.8 0.08 × 696 = 55.7 The groups sizes have different quantities of participants so averaging the % won’t work. 11+56+161 263+696+699= 228 1658= 13.7 approximately 13, allowing for rounding 5-15 Dave Gale https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0024/217824/children-and-parents-media-use-and-attitudes-chart-pack-2020-21.pdf P37
