General Marking Guidance
• All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
• Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
• All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, ie if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
• Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
• Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.
• Mark schemes will indicate within the table where, and which strands of, QWC is being assessed. The strands are as follows:
i) ensure that text is legible and that spelling, punctuation and grammar are accurate so that meaning is clear. Comprehension and meaning is clear by using correct notation and labelling conventions.
ii) select and use a form and style of writing appropriate to purpose and to complex subject matter. Reasoning, explanation or argument is correct and appropriately structured to convey mathematical reasoning.
iii) organise information clearly and coherently, using specialist vocabulary when appropriate. The mathematical methods and processes used are coherently and clearly organised and the appropriate mathematical vocabulary used.
Guidance on the use of codes within this mark scheme M1 – method mark A1 – accuracy mark B1 – working mark C1 – communication mark QWC – quality of written communication oe – or equivalent cao – correct answer only ft – follow through

21 (a) On the grid, draw the line with equation y = 2x(1)
A firm makes two types of industrial cleaner – type A and type B.
The total amount of cleaner that the firm makes each day is at most 100 litres.
Each day, the volume that is made of type B is at least twice the volume that is made of type A.
Each day, the volume that is made of type A must be at least 20 litres.
Let x litres be the volume that is made of type A each day. Let y litres be the volume that is made of type B each day.
(b) For each condition, write down an inequality in x and/or y(2)
(c) On the grid, shade the region that satisfies the three conditions.(2)
The profit from 1 litre of type A cleaner is £15 The profit from 1 litre of type B cleaner is £10
(d) Work out the maximum daily profit. (2)

*13 Washing machines sometimes break down and flood rooms.
Washing machines can be insured in case they break down.
In Applegate: • There are 51 325 washing machines. • Last year 124 washing machines broke down and flooded rooms. • The probability that a washing machine is insured against causing a flood is
52
• The average cost of cleaning up a flooded room is £1250
Insurance companies do not want to make a loss when insuring washing machines against causing a flood.
It costs £P to insure a washing machine.
Work out a suitable value for P. Give a reason for your answer.

22 Talil works for an insurance company. The insurance company insures both male drivers and female drivers. Talil wants to assess the risk presented to the company by the male and by the female
drivers.
He estimates the probabilities that a male driver and a female driver will claim on their insurance policies in the next year as 0.25 and 0.35 respectively.
He further estimates that 60 % of the claims made by the male drivers and 70 % of the claims made by the female drivers will be for less than £1000.
The insurance company insures about the same number of male drivers as female drivers.
The table below gives information about the mean claims made by male drivers and by the female drivers last year.
Mean claim Male drivers Female drivers
Less than £1000 £289 £518
£1000 or more £1753 £1189
What can Talil conclude about the risk presented to the company by the male drivers and by the female drivers?
