Total Marks
Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables (Green), calculator
Candidates may use any calculator allowed by Pearson regulations.
Calculators must not have the facility for symbolic algebra manipulation,
differentiation and integration, or have retrievable mathematical
formulae stored in them.
Instructions
Use black ink or ball-point pen.
• If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB or B).
• Fill in the boxes at the top of this page with your name,
centre number and candidate number.
• Answer all questions and ensure that your answers to parts of questions
are clearly labelled.
• Answer the questions in the spaces provided
– there may be more space than you need.
• You should show sufficient working to make your methods clear. Answers without
working may not gain full credit.
• Inexact answers should be given to three significant figures unless otherwise stated.
Information
A booklet ‘Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables’ is provided.
•• The marks for each question are shown in brackets
There are 16 questions in this question paper. The total mark for this paper is 100.
– use this as a guide as to how much time to spend on each question.
Advice
Read each question carefully before you start to answer it.
• Try to answer every question. Turn over
• Check your answers if you have time at the end.
