2 0607/52/M/J/16 © UCLES 2016 Answer all the questions. INVESTIGATION SUMS OF CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS This investigation looks at the results when the terms of a sequence of consecutive positive integers are added together. 1 Here are four sequences of consecutive positive integers. The sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 has 7 terms. The median (the middle term) is 8. The sequence 7, 8 has only 2 terms. The median is 7.5 . The sequence 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 has 6 terms. The median is 22.5 . The sequence 20, 21, 22, …, 40 has 21 terms. The median is 30. For a sequence of consecutive integers, (a) give an example to show that the number of terms is calculated using the rule last term – first term + 1 (b) describe how to calculate the median using only the first term and the last term. … …

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 May/June 2016 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.
