Create a new folder called ump
Locate the following files and store them in your ump folder.
j2132banner.jpg j2132diver.jpg j2132text.txt j2132ump.css j2132ump1.jpg j2132ump2.jpg j2132ump3.jpg j2132ump4.jpg
Open the file j2132diver.jpg in a graphics package. Crop the image so that all of the diver is visible and it is 1600 pixels wide by 3000 pixels high.
Save this new image in the ump folder, in .png format using the file name diver_candidate number, for example, diver_9999
Display the contents of your ump folder showing the folder name, all file names, file extensions, image dimensions and file sizes.
[4]
EVIDENCE 1
Take a screenshot of your ump folder and place this in your Evidence Document. Make sure that the folder name, all file names, file extensions, image dimensions and file sizes are clearly visible.
[Total: 4]
Task 3 – Web Page
You are going to create a web page and stylesheet to show examples of underwater macro photography.
The web page and stylesheet must work in any browser. All colour codes except those provided in the source files must be in hexadecimal. Make sure that your stylesheet contains no HTML. Make your
HTML and stylesheet as efficient as possible.
Create a web page called ump.htm
This web page must be created using a single table and must work in all browsers. The table must fit 90% of the browser window. The table must have a structure as shown in this diagram:
A height = 15%
B width = 30% C width = 30% D width = 40% height = 20%
E height = 10% F
G height = 20% H
I height = 10% J
K height = 25%
Each table cell is identified with a letter. Some dimensions are shown. These must be set as percentage values and not in pixels.
The cell contents shown in the diagram must not appear on your final web page.
Table borders must not appear on the final web page.
[13]
Place in cell:
• A the image j2132banner.jpg
• B the image j2132ump1.jpg
• C the image j2132ump2.jpg
• D the image diver_ that you saved in step 1
• G the image j2132ump3.jpg
• H the image j2132ump4.jpg
[3]
Place in cell K the contents of the file j2132text.txt
Display this text as three paragraphs.
Add, as a fourth paragraph, the text:
Web page last edited by: followed by your name, centre number and candidate number
Apply style h2 to all text in cell K.
[4]
Open and edit the stylesheet j2132ump.css to meet the following specifications:
Centre align all tables within the browser window.
Set the background for the web page so that it has a colour with a:
• blue component of d6
• red component of 6f
• green component of ea
Set the font for styles h1 and h2, so that the browser selects and displays the font Domino
Regular. If this font is not available, the browser selects and displays the font Domino. If neither of these fonts are available, the browser should display its default serif font. Set each of these fonts as black.
Set style h1 so the text is centre aligned with a 24 point font.
Set style h2 so the text is fully justified with a 16 point font.
Add your name, centre number and candidate number as a comment at the start of the stylesheet.
Save this stylesheet in your ump folder.
Take a screenshot to show the file name and all contents of your stylesheet.
[15]
EVIDENCE 2
Place this screenshot in your Evidence Document. Make sure that the contents of your stylesheet can be easily read.
Display the web page in your browser. If necessary, resize it so that:
• all the page can be seen
• all text can be easily read
• the address bar is visible.
EVIDENCE 3
Place in your Evidence Document screenshot(s) showing the web page in your browser.
Display the HTML source in your editor.
EVIDENCE 4
Take a copy of the HTML source and place this in your Evidence Document.
[Total: 42]
Task 4 – Printing the Evidence Document
Save and print your Evidence Document.
PRINTOUT 1
Make sure your name, centre number and candidate number appear on every page of your
Evidence Document.
Task 5 – Data Analysis
You are going to use a spreadsheet to calculate the sales price of underwater cameras. All currency values must be in pounds (£) to 2 decimal places.
Open and examine the files j2132camera.csv and j2132housing.csv in a spreadsheet package.
These files will be used to provide data for your spreadsheet and must not be changed.
Open and examine the file j2132sales.csv in your spreadsheet. Place the text Prepared by: followed by a space, your name, centre number and candidate number right aligned in the header.
Data has been placed into cells B4 and B9 to help you test your model.
Save this spreadsheet with the file name j2132sales_centre number_candidate number, for example, j2132sales_ZZ999_9999
[2]
Format the spreadsheet to look like this:
A B
Underwater Macro
Photography
1
2
3 Camera
4 Code C004
5 Make/Model
6 Price
7
8 Housing
9 Code H007
10 Make/Model
11 Price
12
13 Package
14 Price
15 Discount %
16 Discount amount
17 Package total
Format the merged cell A1:B1 to contain black 36 point text on a pale blue background.
Format the merged cells A3:B3, A8:B8 and A13:B13 to contain black 18 point text on a pale blue background.
[7]
Enter a formula in cell B15 to show the discount percentage that will be applied. Use the package price to extract the figure from the discount table. [5]
The user enters a code for the camera and a code for the housing.
Enter a formula in cell A19 to display an appropriate error message if the camera code for the housing does not match the code for the camera entered by the user. [4]
Save your spreadsheet.
Print your spreadsheet showing the formulae. Make sure the:
• row and column headings are displayed
• contents of all cells are fully visible and can be easily read.
[1]
PRINTOUT 2
Make sure that you have entered your name, centre number and candidate number on the spreadsheet showing the formulae.
Print your spreadsheet showing the values. Make sure the:
• printout fits on a single page
• row and column headings are not displayed
• contents of all cells are fully visible and can be easily read.
[1]
PRINTOUT 3
Make sure that you have entered your name, centre number and candidate number on the spreadsheet showing the values.
Model this spreadsheet for a customer who wishes to buy camera C013 and use it with housing
H025
Print your spreadsheet showing the values. Make sure the:
• printout fits on a single page
• row and column headings are not displayed
• contents of all cells are fully visible and can be easily read.

Mark scheme
In the mark scheme above.
Checked your answers against these? Let AI mark the whole paper, on your own working.
Examiners follow the generic marking principles at the front of the scheme, then each question's points: method (M), accuracy (A) and independent (B) marks, error carried forward where the scheme allows it, and positive marking, so you're credited for what you got right.
Check your answers against it
Done this paper? Upload your script and CIE Buddy's AI marker marks it question by question against this exact scheme, puts the ticks on your own working and says what each lost mark needed.
