Correct, though you could just rewrite it as 120000.9312000 \cdot 0.9^3 if you can spot what is really happening here.

Thank you!

I just did this. Looks incorrect as it says how many years will her cat be worth £6000 and I did not get that.

So it would be worth £6000 after 6 full years. You can work out the exact amount of years but I don't think you can do that at GCSE.

I'm not sure whether it's 6 or 7 years.

6 years is more than £6000

These questions never make anything clear. Technically speaking, it hits £6000 during it's 7th year so it does NOT fully complete the 7 years which is why I'm saying 6.

m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept so you can figure this from looking at the graph. For the gradient, just pick 2 different coordinates on the line and find the slope as usual.

Looks correct, yes, though it's hard to determine the gradient from a graph like that without any annotation.

Thank you. I find it hard doing it on plain paper lined paper is easier.

This question need explanation please :frown: so sorry for being annoying but I need to understand practise papers so I can do them alone.

its wrong
power of -4 doesnot mean that you have to multiply it with -4
its mean multiply value by how many times
in this question
2p^-4 = 1/2p^4 =1/2p*2p*2p*2p =1/16p4


hope it make sense

Okay so for part A you should consider all the possible combinations from the spinner and the die in order to get a 3. This is a very simple example and I'm sure you can agree that the only way to get a 3 is from getting a 1 and a 2.

So work out the probability that Sally gets a 1 on the spinner, and a 2 on the die, then multiply these probabilities together. You multiply, and NOT add, because this is conditional probability. She will get a 3 on a CONDITION that she get's a 1 followed by a 2 on the respective items.

For part B it's essentially the same thing. List what scores Sally can get that are less than 5 and see how they can be achieved from the two items.

Is that correct

Not quite for part B. First list all the possible combinations that will give the score of less than 5. There combinations are:

{1,1}
{1,2}
{1,3}

find probabilities for each and add them up

1/4 + 1/6?

Do I do that 3 times?

Or 1/4 + 3/6

Yes done.

And now I add 10/24 3 times?
