AQA GCSE Statistics 2011

Well, what i thought was plot the moving averages on the graph and then draw a line of best fit... its the same answer goodgood

It's only the same answer because I checked the mark scheme then attempted it based on what was written there, so I may be wrong
But you can't draw a line of best fit, otherwise they would have mentioned that in the mark scheme, oh well, just hope for the best

It wouldn't matter because the line of best fit is helping me to get the answer

Are you ready for the exam?
Because I'm just crapping it, I've no idea how to do half the syllabus, and I can't figure out where to learn the stuff I don't know because they're all revision stuff which count on you already knowing how to do it and just recapping them

Anyways, best of luck, I'm sure the exam will go smoothly, after all, the grade boundaries are quite low

anyone help me with another question pleaseee?! the specimen paper question 1(d)(i)
thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really :/ i had at least 10 days to revise this exam but i've been so lazy lol I know how to do standard deviation and spearsmens rank things... and all the basic things but i hate the explaining questions - asking like how so and so could do a sample :/

I am sure it will go well for you too - you seem to know everything Good Luck!
Btw, do you know if the crude rates things are still in this specification ??

A clear, concise and comprehensive answer that addresses all the major issues
(listing and numbering the 5 wards, using random numbers, repeat method).
The answer should be fully coherent and contain statistical terminology.

That's what the mark scheme says....
The important bit is the bit in brackets I guess
Your answer should be something like:
Number the wards 1-5
Using a random number table or the RAN# button on his calculator, select a number from 1-5 to choose a ward.
Then list all the voters in that ward, again using the random number table or his calculator, select a random sample of voters to use

Then make sure you have fancy words in there, like equal chance, unbiased, random sampling etc.

Please dont let something silly like this come up in the exam

I'm on work experience and come home at half five, so I haven't really had much time to revise, annoying isn't it?

I always seem to know everything, that's why everyone thinks I'm so clever, but I just guess at half of the stuff. It works though!

You cannot afford not to learn crude rates. Last year, most people forgot the formula for crude rates and started pissing themselves after the exam, learn it, it will help.

Does anyone know if comparitive pie charts will come up in Statistics?
I really hope it doesn't, I don't have a protractor
But then again, I don't have a ruler either, double
I'll have to steal one off the school

genius! mind helping me with another question pleaseee? :P

Question 8 d on the specimen paper - the answers are continuous linear scale and discrete scale (boxes) labels... i dont understand this answer?! help me pleaseee! THANKS AGAIN

Ohh right... mine starts during the summer holidays :/

Wait, there is a formula for it??? i never knew that?! Can you please show me it on here?? THANKS AGAIN YOU LIFE SAVER

comparitive pie charts? you only need a calculator for this type of questions!

Unless they ask you to draw it...

Crude rate:
(Number of stuff divided by total population) x 1000

Standardised rate:
((Number of stuff divided by total population) x 1000) x percentage of population

or something like that, look at June 2006 Question 7 for example

This tells you what has been taken off/added onto the specification.

No more Standardized rates!
