Numeracy Intermediate November 2019 Unit 2 Q1
1. Ceri and Paulo both sit the same mathematics test.
The test is marked out of 125.
Ceri scores 78 marks in the test.
Paulo’s result is 64%.
Who has the higher result in this mathematics test?
You must show all your working. [3]
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 0.64 × 125 or (100 ×) 78/125 | M1 | Accept equivalent complete non calculator methods Allow 64% × 125 but do not accept 64% of 125 for M1 (unless 80 marks seen, in which case M1 A1) |
| 80 (marks) or 62(.4%) | A1 | Accept sight of 0.62(4) Accept sight of 80/125 for M1, A1 |
| Conclusion e.g. ‘Paulo (as 64% > 62.4%)’, ‘Paulo (as 80 > 78)’, ‘Paulo (sight of \(\dfrac{78}{125}\) and \(\dfrac{80}{125}\) ) | A1 | FT depends on M1 previously awarded If working with both Ceri and Paulo, with one correct and one incorrect, mark the correct method, i.e. possible M1, A1, but must be final A0 whatever conclusion is given |
Corrected by Westie's Workshop
- The board's mark scheme printed “‘Paulo (as 80 > 78),”. Changed to “‘Paulo (as 80 > 78)’,” because the closing quotation mark is missing (the example above it has one).
Original: see the board's mark scheme PDF (link above).
