So here is the question made my Pearson right, so here I am ment to find the mean of the volumes what I got is that I removed 1.89 (anomaly) then I added 0.55 +0.54 + 0.16 which gave me 1.25 right then i divided by 3 which gave me 0.41(66666667) right so the answer is ment to be 0.42 right but the MS for this exam paper says otherwise.

"Pineapple juice contains a protease called bromelain. A student uses this method to investigate the digestion of solid gelatine protein by bromelain." - 4WBI1/1B (paper reference)


Hahaha this is a brilliant question. And the reason for mark scheme answer might shock you. See, the question in question paper has a typing mistake. the 4th reading in the table is 0.16 in question (which also seems like an anomaly) but mark scheme has it as 0.61. Ignoring the 1.89 as anomaly reading: 0.55+0.54+061 = 1.7
1.7/3 = 0.57 (correct answer)
