S1 Specimen MS

This document contains a specimen paper, mark scheme, and solutions for an Edexcel statistics exam. It includes 6 questions testing various statistical concepts such as: - Calculating probabilities and probabilities using normal distributions - Finding means, variances, and standard deviations - Interpreting box plots and comparing data distributions - Calculating conditional probabilities and probabilities of unions and intersections of events The mark scheme provides the steps required to earn marks for each part of each question. Full marks are given when solutions are correct and show all necessary work.

Scheme Advantages: Uses central 50% of the data Not affected by extreme values (outliers) Provide an alternative measure of spread to the variance/standard deviation, i.e. IQR/STQR Disadvantages: Not always a simple calculation, e.g. interpolation for a grouped frequency distribution Different measures of calculation no single argued method Does not use all the data directly Any 4 sensible comments at least one advantage and one disadvantage
