i didn't put a 0 either does that mean we'll lose a mark?

hahaha likewise ! i ended up getting k = 0.0583 first and i was like " wait this isn't right " then realised that 5k had to be 1 haha :tongue:

Omg I did that too!

yes there is, they shouldnt penalise you for any one mistake more than once, so if a future part to a question involves an answer you previously worked out, you should get ecf. :smile:

i've no idea, i did see a mark scheme once where a mark was taken off if the candidate had put nothing (i.e. written nothing) instead of put a 0, but at the end of the day its just one mark. still a frustrating one to lose though.

I know right. Tbh all the marks i lost are like the ones you feel like ripping your hair out for :P

The question was out of 5 marks, so based on previous mark schemes :

1 mark for attempt at ∑fx
1 mark for mean = 24.2 (3s.f./or correct rounding)
1 mark for an attempt at σ , (following through mean)
1 mark for a correct expression including square root, (follow through mean)
1 mark for s= 9.29 (3s.f./or correct rounding)

So you would gain around 3 marks out of 5, ie lose 2 marks.

Okay so I calculated ∑fx incorrectly, and then didn't get the mean. So that's two gone. For the next two steps, would I get the marks despite using incorrect value for the mean? I got the standard deviation wrong, because of incorrect mean value, so at least 3 marks gone there. Thank you very much for the help it's really appreciated.

you know the test question where we had to find the mean and standard deviation
i got that wrong because i forgot to make the data continuous
how many marks will i lose for that question if error is carried forward
pls reply
thax alot

If you were on about putting in zero in the empty regions, then I doubt that matters. If you meant something else then I didn't read it properly.

Sorry, I realise I'm being a massive pain in the arse. For the venn diagram I didn't include the values 9, 64 and 77. Would you guess that as one or two marks lost? Thank you, hope that's clearer.

It depends on what you wrote down for that question eg. whether or not you got method marks.

GUYS PLEASE ANSWER for question 1c I put that the points lie close to a straight line, will I get the mark ????

Probably.

For question 1f) I said the difference was negative 7.5 as the height was increasing; I got so worked up as to weather or not to put a negative.... will i lose a mark for this?

I think you should, since if points lie close to a straight line, it would mean there is a strong correlation which would have similar meaning to "r is close to -1 hence strong (negative) correlation".

I think they may accept ±7.5, depending on mark scheme.

The only thing that is making me doubt getting this mark is that it said "state whether or not your value supports" and I didnt use -0.95 but obviously I new that ???
