Pretty sure I got that too :smile:

I thought it was an OK paper to be honest. Though the second question on holidays either I did completely wrong or 5 marks was too much?
I just added the adult and child ticket then multiplied by 0.75 (or whatever the discount was) and it was under £1000?

yeah I did the same. It felt like they were just throwing marks at us :biggrin:

Like 4 marks for the money question and I think it was 4 for the leaking cylinder as well :lol:

Oh but what did everyone get for the stratified sampling one? Because if you rounded it like you were supposed to you got 51 instead of 50 so I just rounded the last one down for no reason :redface:

I got that too. Instead of rounding the last one down I rounded down the first one instead. But not really sure what you're supposed to do there.

Ye I just rounded 14.5 down and 17.5 up or whatever the exact numbers were to make sure it equaled 51.

Ok good haha I remember the same thing happening when we did a past paper in class and my teacher just told us to pick one and round it wrongly so I'm hoping the same thing applies here :lol:

But I swear it wanted you to only have 50 people in total?

I got like -0.75 and 0.75 for the 6 mark
For the triangle to find the angle it was the Cosine rule rearranged to CosA=b^2+c^2-a^2/2bc
For the trapezium you had to create a simultaneous equation
The Alternate segment theorem was about 71-72 forgot the number
Histogram you had to find the Frequency Density and draw it

I also rounded it like you guys and so did the two people from my school who i asked, pretty sure it must be right then. It's not like rounding .5 down is really 'wrong', it's just non standard.

I can't remember the exact solutions but I got something like -0.78 and -2.78. Whatever the exact answers were, I'm pretty sure that I got them both right.
