Calculators must not have the facility for symbolic algebra manipulation, differentiation and integration, or have retrievable mathematical formulae stored in them. \section*{Instructions}
  • Use black ink or ball-point pen.
  • If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB or B).
  • Write your answers for this paper in the Decision Mathematics answer book provided.
  • Fill in the boxes at the top of the answer book with your name, centre number and candidate number.
  • Do not return the question paper with the answer book.
  • Answer all questions and ensure that your answers to parts of questions are clearly labelled.
  • Answer the questions in the spaces provided
  • there may be more space than you need.
  • You should show sufficient working to make your methods clear. Answers without working may not gain full credit.
  • Inexact answers should be given to three significant figures unless otherwise stated.
\section*{Information}
  • There are 7 questions in this question paper. The total mark for this paper is 75.
  • The marks for each question are shown in brackets
  • use this as a guide as to how much time to spend on each question.
\section*{Advice}
  • Read each question carefully before you start to answer it.
  • Try to answer every question.
  • Check your answers if you have time at the end.
  • If you change your mind about an answer, cross it out and put your new answer and any working underneath.

Question 17
View details
17 & 9 & 15 & 8 & 20 & 13 & 28 & 4 & 12 & 5 \end{array}$$ The numbers in the list shown above are the weights, in kilograms, of ten boxes. The boxes are to be transported in containers that will each hold a maximum weight of 40 kilograms.
  1. Calculate a lower bound for the number of containers that will be needed to transport the boxes. You must show your working.
  2. Use the first-fit bin packing algorithm to allocate the boxes to the containers.
  3. Using the list provided, carry out a quick sort to produce a list of the weights in ascending order. You must make your pivots clear.
  4. Use the binary search algorithm to try to locate the weight of 9 in the sorted list. Clearly indicate how you choose your pivots and which part of the list is being rejected at each stage.
