i said the time for the atreoventricular closing 4rm 0.1 to 0.2....i guess upto 0.5 is right....for the vaccination i said....depends on herd immunity, side effects, storage, trained staff and economically viable.

i dnt rememba wt i wrote for the beats per minute stuff....i rememba writin 60/0.7.....but nt the answer kmt -_- also for the last ques wrote quite a few points but not mitochondria and i said the glucose conc lower in lumen compared to blood (thts debatable)...the rest of it is fine. i reckon im losing 9 marks max...and im being really harsh.

hopefulli 100 ums will be near 50 sumfin
I didnt write this but I think it is:

(Number of deaths from breast cancer/total population) x100000

I didn't understand the simple questions, when you have to read off graphs..
How did everyone work out the one where it was death rates amongst breast cancer people per 100000 or something?

The question was like: 'How did scientists calculate the rate of deaths or something...'.


i said hospitals data, sample (representative) or from entire population if possible....btw what did people write for the control of ph....wrote buffer. a mate of mine said put a lid :eek:

Add together all the ages people died at, and divide by the total number (the mean.) Then equate it to per 100,000.

I said they calculated a ratio...

What about the "Can they say the fatty diet causes breast cancer deaths?" Or something like that...

Correlation doesn't equate to causation, other factors could have cause breast cancer..

how many do you reckon u got wrong....max?
I wrote:

-Correlation doesn't mean causation
-other factor maybe involved such as amount of exercise
-there was a large amount of scatter around the line so eating a lot of fat, doesn't necessarily mean you will die of breast cancer

Yeah I put:

-Positive corrleation (there was a mark for this in Jan 11 but for negative)
-Can't say cause/effect
-Other factors such as smoking and excercise
-Different countries - diff medicines/cures to treat breast cancer, so may not die depending on treatments

-positive correlation but not causal link as could be other factors (ethnicity ...)

for the cancer question.. why are people including age? I didn't think that was relevant.

my fault for not reading the BPM question properly. I saw that the pressures at 0 and 0.7 were the same and so thought it was 60/0.6 = 100; bit annoyed as i put 85.7 first but its 2 marks.
