Re: S1 May 2012 - Post Exam Thread - Paper and Solutions in the FIRST POSTAhhh the only thing I messed up was plotting the regression line too! So annoyinggg(Original post by Jack74)
Easiest paper I've done in my life apart from maybe Unit 2 Chemistry GCSE , only thing i got wrong i think was drawing the regression line on the graph and the skew of the data i got mixed up. :/ -
Re: S1 May 2012 - Post Exam Thread - Paper and Solutions in the FIRST POSTTHIS aha, I opened it and looked at the last question, then realised that I can't actually remember quite a few of my answers...(Original post by InadequateJusticex)
Actually scared to look at the paper :/ -

Ahh crap, I made a mistake and concluded that P(B) and P(T) were independent. Oh well, at least I should get the rest of the marks. Any predictions for the grade boundaries? And if I put that there is positive linear correlation and that as p increases so does t, is that enough to get the marks for why a linear regression model would be suitable?

Had a total mindblank on the histogram. Didn't even think to count the mother-fudging squares
Too scared to look at the rest - the fact that I'm guaranteed to have dropped at least 10 marks just from that makes me too fearful of how I'll feel if I've dropped a lot of others :/

Hey two questions, if anyone can answer i'd appreciate it a lot:
1. For question 4a i gave two examples which were (B n W) and (T n W) . Each one is correct but would i be marked down for giving two? i got the explanation correct btw...
2. For question 5e would i get away by saying that the data is almost symmetrical and therefore it would be appropriate to use the mean? Also for question 5d i said the distribution was symmetrical for the same reasons above, again would i get the marks?
Thank you
