Answer 4

Decreasing as many 2nd/3rd generation immigrants may feel more integrated in British culture and would be more comfortable leaving an ethnic cluster

Answer 5

150,000 wealthy Russians living in high income areas like Chelsea, Kensington and Belgravia

This led to extreme gentrification which drove out the poorer original population who could no longer afford to live in the area, which infuriated them

Answer 12

A combination of deindustrialisation (Vauxhall Motors closed in 2002) leading to mass unemployment, alongside increased immigration and ethnic clustering (like Asians in Bury Park( creating no clear ethnic majority, led to many conflicts over jobs and general racial tensions In 2009, the Royal Anglian Regiment in Luton was attacked by Muslim men In 2009 also, the EDL was founded by Tommy Robinson in Luton

Answer 14

Basic Human Needs Foundation of Wellbeing Opportunity

Answer 15

Demographic (Mixed marriage, residency) Economic (Wage gap, employment rates) Political (Level of political involvement) Social (level of racial tensions and hate crime)

Answer 16

For all ethnic groups except Chinese, yes

Answer 17

Very much - black people earn 23% less than an equally qualified white person on average if they both have degrees

Answer 18

Slightly lower proportions of minority citizens register to vote but voter turnout is the same

Answer 19

Every year from 2011-2022, it increased, but in recent years has decreased The increase could have been simply because a higher proportion of hate crimes was actually reported

Answer 20

Slough - 19 ethnic groups, but no ethnic clustering. No dominant religion. However large scale regeneration including 39 brownfield sites being redeveloped, 3 new housing developments and greater community features like Aik Saath, a group which aims to reduce tensions between minority groups in Slough and educate about racism and knife possession. TNCs opening in the area due to its proximity to Heathrow is increasing employment

Answer 21

Housing crisis - Oxford needs 32,000 homes by 2031 to meet local demand but is blocked by greenbelt sites reducing development Rising demand from uni workers and students and no supply massively inflating house prices making it unaffordable to move in (over 11x the annual salary in Oxford) Many people want to expand into greenfield sites and build affordable housing projects to increase affordability and more people to maintain services while others want to protect the greenfield sites and reduce development to keep their house price high Some people suggest building high rises to fit more people into one space but long term residents dont want to see the visual appeal of the skyline reduced

Answer 22

Cornwall - low-paid seasonal jobs and an ageing population has led to deprivation Only main year-long industries in Cornwall were mining (declined) and dairy farming (declined) Many young people are moving away for better opportunities creating brain drain, and houses ae becoming unaffordable due to strict building regulations and second home owners 3 solutions are: superfast broadband being introduced which allows people to do remote work easier newquay aerohub creating 700 permanent skilled jobs in the helicopter and air ambulance industry eden project - cost 140 million, made 1.1 billion revenue in its first 10 years, provided 600 direct and 3000 indirect (eg suppliers) jobs and encouraged year long tourism instead of seasonal

Answer 23

rank data 1 and data 2, find difference in all the ranks (eg 9 - 6 = 3), square all the differences then add them up to get d2 1 - (6 x d2) / (n3 - n) gets your r value compare that to chart provided to see if there is a correlation

Answer 24

The observed data will be provided to you. Work out the expected value with the equation (row of observed total x column of observed total, divided by the total of the whole chart Use the equation χ2 = ∑(Oi – Ei)2/Ei which means for each dataset, do the observed value minus the expected value, square your result, then divided it by the expected value. Once you do this for every dataset, add all the numbers you get up and that is x squared You can then put X2 into a provided significance table, where "d" = (number of rows - 1) x (number of columns - 1) and if it is larger than the value in the significance table it is over that degree of probability

Answer 25

- Find the mean - For each value do (X - mean) squared, then add them all up this would look like (A-mean)2 + (B-mean)2 etc -divide this total by (number of values -1) find the square root

Answer 26

t = (m - μ) / (s divided by (square root of n)) where m is the observed mean where μ is the expected mean where s is the standard deviation where n is the sample size

Answer 27

t = (x̄1 - x̄2) / √(((σ1)² / n1) + √((σ2)² / n2)) where x̄1 is dataset 1 and x̄2 is dataset 2 where σ1 is standard deviation for dataset 1 where σ2 is standard deviation for dataset 2 where n1 is number of values for dataset 1 where n2 is number of values for dataset 2
