Diagnostic Task 1 Choropleth Construction and Interpretation
Use the Human Development Index (HDI) 2018 data below to construct a choropleth map below. Remember this is an IMPORTANT skills that WILL be examined in SA1 Don’t forget to check that you have included ALL mapping conventions (BOLTSS)

Diagnostic Task 2 Scatter-graph Construction and Interpretation
1. Create a scatterplot graph that represents “proportion of population using improved drinking water sources % 2016” and “HDI value 2018” for selected countries in Africa. Use the data in Table 1. Include a legend (use table alongside) and include a line of best fit. Check SALTS (Scale, Axes labelled, Legend, Title and Source)

2. Identify and describe the TYPE, LEVEL and ANOMALIES regarding co
elation between population using improved drinking water (%) 2016 and HDI value 2018 for the selected countries in Africa. Refer to the placement of the “line of best fit” in relation to specific NAMED countries. Write your answer in the lines provided on the next page.
