UNOFFICIAL MARKSCHEME Edexcel Maths Calculator paper 09/06/2016

Scroll to see replies

Do you think I could get 3/6 marks if I only worked it out until the 40.0052 degrees part?
Well I think the only question I got wrong is question 21....on which I put 14.4 as the greatest. I'm not sure.

About the last one I got 80.1 and did get 80.4 while checking in the other way. I think it's only a matter of how precisely you keep your previous calculation. I kept previous figures to 2 decimal places and got 80.1 'n confident that my process can't be wrong.

can anyone please explain question on the fuel? i adding on the 2 journey to work and back and the parking fee but got something around 30?


okay so the question was how much did it cost every week..and they gave u this info
parking costs 3.50
he travels to work and back from there to home
to work is 18 miles
45.2 miles is 1 gallon
1 gallon is 4.546
1litre costs 136.9 pence

Parking is 3.50 * 5 = 17.50 - put that to the side
travel to work is 18 * 2 (to work and home) * 5 which is 180 miles
do 180/45.2 to find how many gallons that is and its 3...something, keep the number and dont round it off
do the answer for the top part * 4.546 to find out how much litres
the answer is around 18... something, again dont round it off. use the answer for the next part (18...) and multiply it by 136.9 pence
divide the answer from that by 100 to get it in pounds, the answer for that is 24.7837460177. You obviously can not round that down to 24.78 because the extra part doe snot just disappear so you round it up to 24.79. Then you do 24.79 + 17.50 and u get 42.29..
right?

For the stratified sampling i rounded 10.8 to 10 instead of 11, will i lose a mark?


I done the same
Original post by 34908seikj
Wasn't the last question like 1/2 * 7 * 8 Sin(X) = 18


56Sin(x) = 36

Sin^-1(36/56) = X

x = 40

???

I think I did it wrong then.


i did the exact same. do we atleast get a single mark?

Same, the paper was pretty easy but I did rush at the end

Does anyone remember how to do the colins car journey qeustion i cant remember what i put and its bothering me (like worked example or the seperate prices of parking and petrol)
I got half of them wrong:frown: so gutted
How much for a C
that was to find the bottom right angle originally labeled C, you had to find the top angle after that using the cosine rule

you will get 1 maybe 2 marks
Ok I found an unofficial markshemeCkhMO8GXIAAUj5Y.jpg

Hi, can someone please show me the working out for the bars question and where you'd get the marks?
I think I got 56 on the first paper and 81 on this paper, so this means I got 137 in total. Please can someone tell me if this is an A?:smile:

Hi I'm going to start and unofficial markscheme so add your answers
Reps are not necessary but would be appreciated :smile:

Sorry for the hold up with the questions:colondollar:
1. Order numbers correctly and include a key (Stem and leaf) (3 marks)
b) 9/20=
0.45 (2 marks)
2a. 5a*2b*3c =
30abc (1 mark)
b. Factorise fully 3y +6 =
3(y+2) (1 mark)
c. Expand x(x-3)=
x^2-3x (1 mark)
3. Perimeter of a rectangle with side lengths x and x+4 is 45
x+x+x+4+x+4= 4x+8
4x+8=45
4x=37
x=9.25 (3 marks)
4. Smallest packet was best value for money because it was cheapest per bag of crisps (4 marks)
5. 4 times as many red than green: There were 0.4 blue and 0.15 yellow.
0.4+0.15+4x+x=1
0.55+5x=1
5x=0.45
x=0.09
4x=0.36
Green- 0.09 Red- 0.36 (3 marks)
6a. Body mass index= m/h^2
Mass= 50kg
Height= 1.57m

x^3-5x=34
3.7 gives you 32.153 which is too small
3.8 gives you 35.872 which is too big
So you go in the middle at 3.75 and if it is too big then its you go with the smaller option and viceversa so 3.75 gives you 33.984375 which is too small so you go for the larger option of 3.8

I'm pretty sure question 15 asked if paul lost MORE than half so wouldnt the answer be yes?

He didn't lose more than a half.
Original post by STA1706
for (Q19) i got 10.89 and i thought you cant round up people so i put 10, was it definitely 11


Yes
19. 51 out of the 234 were maths in yr 12 so 50 * 51/234
11 males (2 marks)

The answer to the calculation was 10.89, but you can't have 10.89 people so surely it must go down to 10, not 11, as there aren't 11.
Someone explain please.
