Note to teachers and students on the use of published marking schemesMarking schemes published by the State Examinations Commission are not intended to bestandalone documents. They are an essential resource for examiners who receive training inthe correct interpretation and application of the scheme. This training involves, among otherthings, marking samples of student work and discussing the marks awarded, so as to clarifythe correct application of the scheme. The work of examiners is subsequently monitored byAdvising Examiners to ensure consistent and accurate application of the marking scheme.This process is overseen by the Chief Examiner, usually assisted by a Chief AdvisingExaminer. The Chief Examiner is the final authority regarding whether or not the markingscheme has been correctly applied to any piece of candidate work.Marking schemes are working documents. While a draft marking scheme is prepared inadvance of the examination, the scheme is not finalised until examiners have applied it tocandidates’ work and the feedback from all examiners has been collated and considered inlight of the full range of responses of candidates, the overall level of difficulty of theexamination and the need to maintain consistency in standards from year to year. Thispublished document contains the finalised scheme, as it was applied to all candidates’ work.In the case of marking schemes that include model solutions or answers, it should be notedthat these are not intended to be exhaustive. Variations and alternatives may also beacceptable. Examiners must consider all answers on their merits, and will have consultedwith their Advising Examiners when in doubt.Future Marking SchemesAssumptions about future marking schemes on the basis of past schemes should be avoided.While the underlying assessment principles remain the same, the details of the marking of aparticular type of question may change in the context of the contribution of that question tothe overall examination in a given year. The Chief Examiner in any given year has theresponsibility to determine how best to ensure the fair and accurate assessment of candidates’work and to ensure consistency in the standard of the assessment from year to year.Accordingly, aspects of the structure, detail and application of the marking scheme for aparticular examination are subject to change from one year to the next without notice.

InstructionsThere are two sections in this examination paper.Section AConcepts and Skills150 marks6 questionsSection BContexts and Applications150 marks3 questionsAnswer all nine questions.Write your answers in the spaces provided in this booklet. You may lose marks if you do not do so.You may ask the superintendent for more paper. Label any extra work clearly with the questionnumber and part.The superintendent will give you a copy of the Formulae and Tables booklet. You must return it atthe end of the examination. You are not allowed to bring your own copy into the examination.You will lose marks if all necessary work is not clearly shown.You may lose marks if the appropriate units of measurement are not included, where relevant.You may lose marks if your answers are not given in simplest form, where relevant.Write the make and model of your calculator(s) here:[4]

Marking Scheme – Paper 1, Section A and Section BStructure of the marking schemeCandidate responses are marked according to different scales, depending on the types of responseanticipated. Scales labelled A divide candidate responses into two categories (correct andincorrect). Scales labelled B divide responses into three categories (correct, partially correct, andincorrect), and so on. The scales and the marks that they generate are summarised in this table:Scale labelABCDENo of categories234560, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 2, 50, 5, 100, 7, 150, 10, 200, 12, 250, 2, 4, 50, 4, 8, 100, 5, 10, 150, 7, 13, 200, 8, 17, 250, 2, 5, 8, 100, 4, 7, 11, 150, 5, 10, 15, 200, 6, 12, 19, 250, 5, 10, 15, 20, 255 mark scales10 mark scales15 mark scales20 mark scales25 mark scalesA general descriptor of each point on each scale is given below.

Section AConcepts and Skills150 marksAnswer all six questions from this section.Question 1(25 marks)An experiment consists of throwing two fair, standard, six-sided dice and noting the sum of the twonumbers thrown. If the sum is 9 or greater it is recorded as a “win” (W). If the sum is 8 or less it isrecorded as a “loss” (L).(a)Complete the table below to show all possible outcomes of the experiment.Die 1Die LWWWWFind the probability of a win on one throw of the two dice.P (W ) (ii)10 5 36 18Find the probability that each of 3 successive throws of the two dice results in a loss.Give your answer correct to four decimal places.3 13 P(L, L, L ) 0 3767 18 (c)The experiment is repeated until a total of 3 wins occur.
