3b)teacher asks students to do a questionnaire, why might the sample be bad?

A: biased, due to same age range??- not 100%


Not a large enough sample size; 10? students does not represent a general populous.
did anyone find that test hard or is it just me ?

What about the question where the answer is W=1.4 or 7/5

thats right mate me and majority of my mates got that
What was the answer to the standard form question? I think I got 1.75 X 10 to the 10

yass i got that !!!

Coordinates were (1, 2.5), (5, 7)

How can the midpoint be totally negative if the two points were positive(on the upper part of the graph??
Surely the midpoint would be somewhere near the coordinates right?
I put the midpoint was ( 3, 4.75)

This is very hard to visualise from words, any rough drawing for me to go off of?

7*10^8
what was the envelope question again and what was the answer
Original post by mrpaper
I'm pretty sure it is 0.76.
It asked for the probability of it not raining and the match not being cancelled.


I got 7.6/100
what was question 15
and how do you work out question 11
thanks.


Small triangle = 1/2 * root3/3 * root2/2 = root6 /12

Big triangle = 1/2 * root2/2 * root2/2 = 2/8 = 1/4

Shaded region = Big - Small

= 1/4 - root6/12

= 3/12 - root6/12

= (3-root6)/12
what was the probability tree answer

a B. but don't worry, you can still get an A with 80% on the calculator paper :smile:

Small packs (x) have 5 envelopes
Large packs (y) have 20 envelopes
Give a formula for total (T) number of envelopes

T=5x+20y

It didn't ask for the midpoint. (1, 2.5) was the midpoint.

Can't believe that was worth 3 marks...
What do you guys predict the grade boundaries will be like
