Mr M's Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0 Higher Paper 1 Answers June 2014

can someone help me here please

for the railway ticket one my answer was wrong but my method looks right

my final answer was £22.40

the adult ticket was 24 divide by 3 =8 to find 1 third of it

the child ticket was 12x2=24
then it was 60% off so i done 60/100*24=14.4

added the 2 together and i got 22.40 where did i go wrong and PLEASE COULD YOU TELL ME IF I GET 2 OR 3 MARKS CHEERS

for the box plots question when it said to compare the 2 one was right about the median but i worked out the interquartile range and the top one was bigger than the bottoms one, i worked it out and defoo the top was bigger

do i get the mark for this or not

For the competition question, i got between 42/43. would i drop any marks because mr m's mark scheme for tht question is vague.
Also, for the France question about the kilometres, i put 6hours in my working out, and pointd tht answer to the answer space (which i felt there wasnt any) but only wrote 6. would i lose one mark?
also, for the loci question, is there a certain range u hav to be within to get the full marks?

is there a mark scheme for your paper 2?

Here is a mock Paper 2 you can use as part of your revision. It is based on an analysis of the content of Paper 1.

Here are Aerosmith's answers to the mock. He is convinced they are right. I haven't checked.

im doing last minute revision for tomorrow, but I feel confident with all the topics, any suggestions for what I should do? just loads of papers??

i need to get this straight for the prob tree diagram, part a i filled in the first tree which was right

but for the 2 next to it i took 2 from the top and 2 from the bottom so really i had like 7/8 and 2/8 roughly, do i get any marks for this or not

this is going to make me sound stupid as ****, but how do you work out the lower/upper quartile and median?
