The mean mark for the whole class, 7.5, was higher than the mean mark for the girls. Thus the mean mark for the boys would have to be higher than 7.5, which is better than the girls marks. Accept use of actual calculation of mean mark for boys to justify.

B1 15c Yes. The amount of waste disposed of remains generally constant over the last decade but the waste recycled was generally lesser in the 2020s, thus there is a decline in percentage of waste recycled in the 2020s. B1 B1 16a angle ACB = angle ADC (given) angle BAC = angle CAD (common angle) Since all corresponding angles of the triangle are equal, triangles ABC and ACD are similar M1 A1 16b 2 6.5 6.5 5.5 78 AB AC AC AD AC AC AC = = + = 8.83AC= cm M1 A1 17a ( )( ) 2 2 2 2 22 4 a b a b a a b a + − − = − − 24b=− M1 – correct expansion A1 17b ( )( ) ( )( ) ( ) 2 2 2 12 349 12 341 12 345 12 345 2 2 12 345 2 2 12 345 42 − +  − − =− 16=− M1 A1 18a No. of days 15 8 245=  = B1 18b T k l= % increase ( ) 1.5 100 1.5 1 100 k l k l kl kl kl −= − = =22.5% M1 A1 19a 4 cm : 1 km 4 cm : 100 000 cm 1 : 25 000 B1
