*2088783440* Cambridge International Examinations Cambridge International Advanced Level FURTHER MATHEMATICS 9231/22 Paper 2 October/November 2016 3 hours Additional Materials: List of Formulae (MF10) READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST An answer booklet is provided inside this question paper. You should follow the instructions on the front cover of the answer booklet. If you need additional answer paper ask the invigilator for a continuation booklet. Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. Where a numerical value is necessary, take the acceleration due to gravity to be 10 m s−2. The use of a calculator is expected, where appropriate. Results obtained solely from a graphic calculator, without supporting working or reasoning, will not receive credit. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question.

6 10 Answer only one of the following two alternatives. EITHER O A B C a a 2a 3a A thin uniform rod AB has mass 2m and length 3a. Two identical uniform discs each have mass 1 2m and radius a. The centre of one of the discs is rigidly attached to the end A of the rod and the centre of the other disc is rigidly attached to the end B of the rod. The plane of each disc is perpendicular to the rod AB. A second thin uniform rod OC has mass m and length 2a. The end C of this rod is rigidly attached to the mid-point of AB, with OC perpendicular to AB (see diagram). The object consisting of the two discs and two rods is free to rotate about a horizontal axis l, through O, which is perpendicular to both rods. (i) Show that the moment of inertia of one of the discs about l is 13 4 ma2. [3] (ii) Show that the moment of inertia of the object about l is 52 3 ma2. [4] When the object is suspended from O and is hanging in equilibrium, the point C is given a speed of 2ag in the direction parallel to AB. In the subsequent motion, the angle through which OC has turned before the object comes to instantaneous rest is 1. (iii) Show that cos 1 = 8 21. [7] OR For a random sample, A, of 5 pairs of values of x and y, the equations of the regression lines of y on x and x on y are respectively y = 4.5 + 0.3x and x = 3y −13. Four of the five pairs of data are given in the following table. x 1 5 7 9 y 5 6 7 7 Find (i) the fifth pair of values of x and y, [5] (ii) the value of the product moment correlation coefficient. [2] A second random sample, B, of 5 pairs of values of x and y is summarised as follows. Σx = 20 Σx2 = 100 Σy = 17 Σy2 = 69 Σxy = 75 The two samples, A and B, are combined to form a single random sample of size 10. (iii) Use this combined sample to test, at the 5% significance level, whether the population product moment correlation coefficient is different from zero. [7] © UCLES 2016 9231/22/O/N/16

It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2016 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

Page 2 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge International A Level – October/November 2016 9231 22 © UCLES 2016 Mark Scheme Notes Marks are of the following three types: M Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M mark can be implied from a correct answer. A Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated method mark is earned (or implied). B Mark for a correct result or statement independent of method marks. • When a part of a question has two or more “method” steps, the M marks are generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly when there are several B marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier M or B (asterisked) mark in the scheme. When two or more steps are run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit is given. • The symbol implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for correct work only. A and B marks are not given for fortuitously “correct” answers or results obtained from incorrect working. • Note: B2 or A2 means that the candidate can earn 2 or 0. B2/1/0 means that the candidate can earn anything from 0 to 2. The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the doubt. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. • Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the scheme specifically indicates otherwise. • For a numerical answer, allow the A or B mark if a value is obtained which is correct to 3 s.f., or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (1 d.p. in the case of an angle). As stated above, an A or B mark is not given if a correct numerical answer arises fortuitously from incorrect working. For Mechanics questions, allow A or B marks for correct answers which arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of 10.

Page 3 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge International A Level – October/November 2016 9231 22 © UCLES 2016 The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts: AEF/OE Any Equivalent Form (of answer is equally acceptable) / Or Equivalent AG Answer Given on the question paper (so extra checking is needed to ensure that the detailed working leading to the result is valid) CAO Correct Answer Only (emphasising that no “follow through” from a previous error is allowed) CWO Correct Working Only – often written by a ‘fortuitous’ answer ISW Ignore Subsequent Working SOI Seen or implied SR Special Ruling (detailing the mark to be given for a specific wrong solution, or a case where some standard marking practice is to be varied in the light of a particular circumstance) Penalties MR –1 A penalty of MR –1 is deducted from A or B marks when the data of a question or part question are genuinely misread and the object and difficulty of the question remain unaltered. In this case all A and B marks then become “follow through ” marks. MR is not applied when the candidate misreads his own figures – this is regarded as an error in accuracy. An MR –2 penalty may be applied in particular cases if agreed at the coordination meeting. PA –1 This is deducted from A or B marks in the case of premature approximation. The PA –1 penalty is usually discussed at the meeting.
