1a. [2 marks]

A school offers three activities, basketball (B), choir (C) and drama (D). Every student must participate in at least one activity.

16 students play basketball only.

18 students play basketball and sing in the choir but do not do drama.

34 students play basketball and do drama but do not sing in the choir.

27 students are in the choir and do drama but do not play basketball.

Enter the above information on the Venn diagram below.

MarkschemeTrue (A1)(ft)

100 – (1 –16) = 83 (R1)(ft)

OR

46 + 54 – 17 = 83 (R1)(ft)

Note: Do not award (A1)(R0). Follow through from their Venn diagram.

Examiners reportThis question was accessible to the great majority of candidates. The common errors were:

the lack of a bounding rectangle in (a);the lack of subtraction for the entries in the disjoint regions of the type and the subsequent total exceeding 100%;the incorrect interpretation of “either ...or” as “exclusive or”. It is of the utmost importance to note that the ambiguity of the “or”statement will be removed and “exclusive or” signalled by the phrase “either ...or....but not both”. Otherwise, “inclusive or”must always be assumed.

A number of candidates were unable to interpret the percentage error question correctly and scored 0/4. This was somewhatdisappointing.

12f. [4 marks]The population of Beartown is 120 000. The local radio station claimed that 34 000 of the town’s citizens read at least two ofthe local newspapers.

Find the percentage error in this claim.

Markscheme28% of 120000 (M1)

= 33600 (A1)

(M1)

Note: Award (M1) for 28 seen (may be implied by 33600 seen), award (M1) for correct substitution of their 33600 in the percentageerror formula. If an error is made in calculating 33600 award a maximum of (M1)(A0)(M1)(A0), the final accuracy mark is lost.

OR

In a college 450 students were surveyed with the following results

150 have a television

205 have a computer

220 have an iPhone

75 have an iPhone and a computer

60 have a television and a computer

70 have a television and an iPhone

40 have all three.

Draw a Venn diagram to show this information. Use T to represent the set of students who have a television, C the set ofstudents who have a computer and I the set of students who have an iPhone.
