MARKING GUIDELINES
Time: 3 hours 150 marks
These marking guidelines are prepared for use by examiners and sub-examiners,
all of whom are required to attend a standardisation meeting to ensure that the
guidelines are consistently interpreted and applied in the marking of candidates'
scripts.
The IEB will not enter into any discussions or correspondence about any marking
guidelines. It is acknowledged that there may be different views about some
matters of emphasis or detail in the guidelines. It is also recognised that,
without the benefit of attendance at a standardisation meeting, there may be
different interpretations of the application of the marking guidelines.

QUESTION 9
(a) For point of inflection: Let g "( x ) = 0

g '( x ) 3x 2 − 6x
g "( x=) 6x − 6
6x − 6 = 0 ∴x= 1
g (1) −2

Hence, g and h intersect at x = 1 , the point of inflection.
Alternate:

QUESTION 12
Let the number of missiles required for firing be n.
P(all will miss)= (1 − 0,9)n ∴ P(all will miss) = 0,1n
P(at least 1 will hit) = 1 − 0,1n
We require: 1 − 0,1n > 0,97
When n = 1, 1 − 0,11 = 0,9
When n = 2, 1 − 0,12 = 0,99
When n = 3, 1 − 0,13 = 0,999
Therefore, at least 2 missiles should be fired.
Therefore, Lulu was correct.
Alternate:
Let the number of missiles required for firing be n.
P(all will miss)= (1 − 0,9)n ∴ P(all will miss) = 0,1n
Let: 1 − 0,1n = 0,97
0,03 = 0,1n
log0,1 0,03 = n
n ≈ 1,5
Therefore, at least 2 missiles need to be fired to ensure at least a 0,97 chance of
hitting the target.
Lulu was correct
Alternate:
First missile fired: P(a hit) = 0,9
Second missile fired: P(a hit) = 0,9 + MH
= 0,9 + (0,1 x 0,9)
= 0,99
Third missile fired: P(hit) = 0,9 + MH + MMH
= 0,9 + (0,1 x 0,9) + (0,1 x 0,1 x 0,9)
= 0,999 Hence Lulu was correct

Alternate:
2 Missiles fired:
P(a hit) = 1 – P(no hit)
= 1 - P(MM)
= 1 - (0,1 x 0,1)
= 0,99
3 missiles fired:
P(a hit) = 1 – P(no hit)
= 1 - P(MMM)
= 1 - (0,1 x 0,1 x 0,1)
= 0,999
Hence Lulu was correct.
Alternate:
P(M1 U M2) = P(M1) + P(M2) – P(M1 ∩ M2)
= 0,9 + 0,9 – (0,9 x 0,9)
= 0,99
Similarly, if 3 missiles are fired:
P(M1 U M2 U M3) = 0,999
Hence Lulu was correct
