6. Dylan is having a weekend break in Wrexham.
The probability that he will visit Erddig Gardens is 0·7.
The probability of Dylan going to the Bersham Heritage Centre is independent of him visiting Erddig Gardens.
The probability that he visits Erddig Gardens and goes to the Bersham Heritage Centre is 0·28.

(b) Calculate the probability that Dylan visits Erddig Gardens but does not go to the Bersham Heritage Centre. [2]
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 0·3 shown for Does not visit ‘Erddig Gardens’. | B1 | |
| Use of 0·7 × …… = 0·28 | M1 | Implied by sight of 0·4 (on ‘top branch’ of the four on the right) |
| P(goes to ‘Bersham Heritage Centre’) = 0.4 | A1 | |
| Second set of branches 0·4, 0·6, 0·4, 0·6 | A1 | F.T. ‘their 0·4’ BUT dependent on M1 gained. (i.e. M0A0A0 for 0·28 and 0·72 on branches.) |
Corrected by Westie's Workshop
- The board's mark scheme printed “‘Does not visit ‘Erddig Gardens’.”. Changed to “Does not visit ‘Erddig Gardens’.” because the first opening quotation mark has no matching closing mark (only the place name is quoted).
Original: see the board's mark scheme PDF (link above).
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 0·7 × 0·6 | M1 | F.T. 0·7 × ‘their 0·6’ only if 0 < ‘their 0·6’ < 1 |
| = 0·42 ISW | A1 | 0·42 gains M1A1. |
