Mark Scheme
Mock Paper (set1)
Pearson Edexcel GCE A Level Mathematics
Pure Mathematics 2 (9MA0/02)
dp decimal places
sf significant figures
A marks are ‘correct answer only’ (cao.), unless shown, for example, as A1 ft to
indicate that previous wrong working is to be followed through. After a misread
however, the subsequent A marks affected are treated as A ft, but answers
that don’t logically make sense e.g. if an answer given for a probability is >1 or
<0, should never be awarded A marks.
they wish to submit, examiners should mark this response.
If there are several attempts at a question which have not been crossed out,
examiners should mark the final answer which is the answer that is the most
complete.

Biologist’s model works well for
t 12 and
t 18 but appears to give an
overestimate for A (or does not work well) when t 24 and t 30
E.g.
This may be because the biologist’s model predicts values for A
which are greater than the total surface area of the piece of bread
used in the experiment.
biologist’s model does not give an upper limit for A.
