2 Note to teachers and students on the use of published marking schemes Marking schemes published by the State Examinations Commission are not intended to be standalone documents. They are an essential resource for examiners who receive training in the correct interpretation and application of the scheme. This training involves, among other things, marking samples of student work and discussing the marks awarded, so as to clarify the correct application of the scheme. The work of examiners is subsequently monitored by Advising Examiners to ensure consistent and accurate application of the marking scheme. This process is overseen by the Chief Examiner, usually assisted by a Chief Advising Examiner. The Chief Examiner is the final authority regarding whether or not the marking scheme has been correctly applied to any piece of candidate work. Marking schemes are working documents. While a draft marking scheme is prepared in advance of the examination, the scheme is not finalised until examiners have applied it to candidates work and the feedback from all examiners has been collated and considered in light of the full range of responses of candidates, the overall level of difficulty of the examination and the need to maintain consistency in standards from year to year. This published document contains the finalised scheme, as it was applied to all candidates work. In the case of marking schemes that include model solutions or answers, it should be noted that these are not intended to be exhaustive. Variations and alternatives may also be acceptable. Examiners must consider all answers on their merits, and will have consulted with their Advising Examiners when in doubt. Future Marking Schemes Assumptions about future marking schemes on the basis of past schemes should be avoided. While the underlying assessment principles remain the same, the details of the marking of a particular type of question may change in the context of the contribution of that question to the overall examination in a given year. The Chief Examiner in any given year has the responsibility to determine how best to ensure the fair and accurate assessment of candidates work and to ensure consistency in the standard of the assessment from year to year. Accordingly, aspects of the structure, detail and application of the marking scheme for a particular examination are subject to change from one year to the next without notice.

23 Marking Scheme Paper, Section A and Section B Structure of the marking scheme Candidate responses are marked according to different scales, depending on the types of response anticipated. Scales labelled A divide candidate responses into two categories (correct and incorrect). Scales labelled B divide responses into three categories (correct, partially correct, and incorrect), and so on. The scales and the marks that they generate are summarised in this table: Scale label A B C D E No of categories mark scales 0, 5 0,, 5 0,, 4, 5 0 mark scales 0, 0 0, 5, 0 0, 4, 8, 0 0,, 5, 8, 0 5 mark scales 0, 5 0, 7, 5 0, 5, 0, 5 0, 4, 7,, 5 0 mark scales 0, 0 0, 0, 0 0, 7,, 0 0, 5, 0, 5, 0 5 mark scales 0, 5 0,, 5 0, 8, 7, 5 0, 6,, 9, 5 0, 5, 0, 5, 0, 5 A general descriptor of each point on each scale is given below. More specific directions in relation to interpreting the scales in the context of each question are given in the scheme, where necessary. Marking scales level descriptors A-scales (two categories) incorrect response correct response B-scales (three categories) response of no substantial merit partially correct response correct response C-scales (four categories) response of no substantial merit response with some merit almost correct response correct response D-scales (five categories) response of no substantial merit response with some merit response about half-right almost correct response correct response E-scales (six categories) response of no substantial merit response with some merit response almost half-right response more than half-right almost correct response correct response In certain cases, typically involving incorrect rounding, omission of units, a misreading that does not oversimplify the work or an arithmetical error that does not oversimplify the work, a mark that is one mark below the full-credit mark may also be awarded. Thus, for example, in scale 0C, 9 marks may be awarded. Throughout the scheme indicate by use of * where an arithmetic error occurs. []

47 Question 8 (65 marks) In basketball, players often have to take free throws. When Michael takes his first free throw in any game, the probability that he is successful is 0 7. For all subsequent free throws in the game, the probability that he is successful is: 0 8 if he has been successful on the previous throw 0 6 if he has been unsuccessful on the previous throw. (a) Find the probability that Michael is successful (S) with all three of his first three free throws in a game. P ( S, S, S) (b) Find the probability that Michael is unsuccessful (U) with his first two free throws and successful with the third. P ( U,U,S) (c) List all the ways that Michael could be successful with his third free throw in a game and hence find the probability that Michael is successful with his third free throw.

Show that p n pn. ( ) p n+ P S,S + P(U,S) ( p ) p n p n n (ii) Assume that p is Michael s success rate in the long run; that is, for large values of n, we have pn+ pn p.

You know that he has already taken many free throws, but you do not know what pattern of success he has had. (i) Based on this knowledge, what is your estimate of the probability that Michael will be successful with his next free throw in the game? Answer: 075 or p (ii) Why would it not be appropriate to consider Michael s subsequent free throws in the game as a sequence of Bernoulli trials? Events not independent [47]

52 (c) At another hole, where the ground is not level, Joan hits the ball from K, as shown. The ball lands at B.

The distance, GC, from the ball to the bottom of the tree is also 5 metres. The angle of elevation at G to the top of the tree, E, is θ, where θ tan. The height of the top of the tree above the horizontal, GD, is h metres and GD d metres. (i) Write d and CD in terms of h.

54 Marking Scheme Paper, Section A and Section B Structure of the marking scheme Candidate responses are marked according to different scales, depending on the types of response anticipated. Scales labelled A divide candidate responses into two categories (correct and incorrect). Scales labelled B divide responses into three categories (correct, partially correct, and incorrect), and so on. The scales and the marks that they generate are summarised in this table: Scale label A B C D E No of categories mark scales 0,, 5 0,, 4, 5 0,,,4,5 0 mark scales 0, 5, 0 0, 4, 8, 0 0,, 5, 8, 0 5 mark scales 0, 5,, 5 0, 4, 7,, 5 0 mark scales 5 mark scales A general descriptor of each point on each scale is given below. More specific directions in relation to interpreting the scales in the context of each question are given in the scheme, where necessary. Marking scales level descriptors A-scales (two categories) incorrect response correct response B-scales (three categories) response of no substantial merit partially correct response correct response C-scales (four categories) response of no substantial merit response with some merit almost correct response correct response D-scales (five categories) response of no substantial merit response with some merit response about half-right almost correct response correct response E-scales (six categories) response of no substantial merit response with some merit response almost half-right response more than half-right almost correct response correct response NOTE: In certain cases, typically involving incorrect rounding, omission of units, a misreading that does not oversimplify the work or an arithmetical error that does not oversimplify the work, a mark that is one mark below the full-credit mark may also be awarded. Rounding and units penalty to be applied only once in each section (a), (b), (c) etc. Throughout the scheme indicate by use of * where an arithmetic error occurs. [5]

65 Marcanna breise as ucht freagairt trí Ghaeilge (Bonus marks for answering through Irish) Ba chóir marcanna de réir an ghnáthráta a bhronnadh ar iarrthóirí nach ngnóthaíonn níos mó ná 75% d iomlán na marcanna don pháipéar. Ba chóir freisin an marc bónais sin a shlánú síos. Déantar an cinneadh agus an ríomhaireacht faoin marc bónais i gcás gach páipéir ar leithligh. Is é 5% an gnáthráta agus is é 00 iomlán na marcanna don pháipéar. Mar sin, bain úsáid as an ngnáthráta 5% i gcás iarrthóirí a ghnóthaíonn 5 marc nó níos lú, e.g. 98 marc 5% 99 bónas 9 marc. Má ghnóthaíonn an t-iarrthóir níos mó ná 5 marc, ríomhtar an bónas de réir na foirmle [00 bunmharc] 5%, agus an marc bónais sin a shlánú síos. In ionad an ríomhaireacht sin a dhéanamh, is féidir úsáid a bhaint as an tábla thíos. Bunmharc Marc Bónais [6]
