Area, A, of circle radius r is A= rr2. Lee draws circles on rectangular pieces of paper. He drops grains of rice at random onto the pieces of paper. He counts the number of grains of rice inside each circle. 1 Lee draws a circle of radius 5 cm on a rectangular piece of paper measuring 40 cm by 20 cm. 5 cm 40 cm 20 cm NOT TO SCALE (a) (i) Find the area of the rectangle. … (ii) The probability, p, that a grain of rice lands inside the circle is p = area of circle area of rectangle. The area of the circle is 25 # r. Show that p is approximately 0.098 for this piece of paper. (b) Lee drops 10 grains of rice at random onto the piece of paper. The diagram shows the result. NOT TO SCALE Key: represents one grain of rice.

NOT TO SCALE Show that the relative frequency that a grain of rice is inside the circle is 0.15 . (d) The relative frequency that a grain of rice is inside the circle gives an estimate for the probability, p. The area of the circle is 25 # r. Use area of circle area of rectangle = 0.15 to show that an estimate for r is 4.8 .

The circle touches all four edges of the paper. r cm (a) Lee drops 500 grains of rice at random onto the piece of paper. He removes the 500 grains of rice and drops another 500 grains of rice at random onto the piece of paper. The combined number of grains of rice inside the circle is 785. Use the formula area of circle area of rectangle = relative frequency to estimate r. r = … (b) Complete this sentence with a single number. To estimate the value of r when the circle touches all four edges of the paper, multiply the relative frequency by … (c) Lee drops n grains of rice at random onto the piece of paper. He removes the n grains of rice and drops another n grains of rice at random onto the piece of paper. The combined number of grains of rice inside the circle is k. Show that n k 2 is an estimate for r.

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 International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

0607/53 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 2 of 5 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

0607/53 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 3 of 5 MARK SCHEME NOTES The following notes are intended to aid interpretation of mark schemes in general, but individual mark schemes may include marks awarded for specific reasons outside the scope of these notes. Types of mark M Method marks, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. A Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. For accuracy marks to be given, the associated Method mark must be 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 in principle independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly where there are several B marks allocated. The notation ‘dep’ is used to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier mark in the scheme. Abbreviations awrt answers which round to cao correct answer only dep dependent FT follow through after error isw ignore subsequent working nfww not from wrong working oe or equivalent rot rounded or truncated SC Special Case soi seen or implied
