Re: AQA S1 May 18Yeah apart from how fiddly the wording on the probability question was. I'm worried we're gonna have stupidly high grade boundaries.(Original post by warg85zak)
Did anyone else feel this exam was stupidly easy? -
Re: AQA S1 May 18I think so but I'm not sure which number.I know that you get at least 2 marks for getting as far as you did. I multiplied by 12 (Bit of a guess really). I think you multiply it by the degrees of freedom by lookin at the past papers, but frankly I have no idea.(Original post by KTucker93)
on the probability Q, can't remember the exact numbers, but the bit where it was like 100/640 x 110/639 x 120/638
did u have to multiply it by a number after? -
Re: AQA S1 May 18
1a -0.235
2a mode=23
b median=22
c IQR=3
d mean=22.4 standard deviation=6.37
e new mean=23.9
3a 2.27x+4.17
b the same at aproximately 28 degrees centigrade
From here on I can't remember the questions really! So...
0.3031 0.880 0.292 0.89 0.212, 0.629 , 0.953, 0.372, 0.156,0.110, 0.15, 0.492, 0.719, 22, 17.4
confidence interval (5.02,5.08) -
Re: AQA S1 May 18Wasn't the new mean 240(or whatever the number was) x old mean (22.4)/175(Original post by Butdidudie)

Came out at 33. something, but other than that i got the same! -
Re: AQA S1 May 18I added up all the original letters from royal mail, then added the 280 then divided by the amount of days 175 and got 23.9. but I'm not sure. It could of been everything really.(Original post by polozolo123)
Anyone get an answer of something like 0.025 for that probability question part c about the toilets and bedrooms?
And how did you work out the new mean of the letters? -
Re: AQA S1 May 18Nah it was 23.9(Original post by warg85zak)

Re: AQA S1 May 18Yeah I got the same as you for all of these questions, with the mean you had to do like (what ever F(x) was) +280(letters) /125(days) which was like 23.9 but you could have done 280/175=1.6 and do 22.4+1.6= 24(around ish)(Original post by Butdidudie)

Re: AQA S1 May 18everyone did...(Original post by warg85zak)
i finished with 40 minutes to spare... -
Re: AQA S1 May 18The new mean? If so, you had to times your old mean by 175 to find the sum of x. Then just add the new amount of letters and divide by 175.(Original post by polozolo123)

that will probably be a whole grade! also think when I did 1- on one of the Q's it was wrong. oh well, they can't make the boundaries tooo high!
