? Why would you reject Ho


if u use 5% its out of 90% confidence interval

did exactly what u did incl ur hypothesis tests and dw we are right

lol , i wrote that z=1.6449 and at 5% z=1.96

1.96>1.6449 so reject H0

WHICH
doesn't really make sense now that i look back at it :P
hopefully its less than 65 for an a. kinda feel disappointed but the other papers were not that hard, and this one had like 2 different questions

Hi

Does anyone have the solutions for question 6a?
btw for a overall is fm, is it just 480 ums overall, or like you have to get an a in each paper?

Its overall. Specific modules only matter if you want an A*.

58 TO 60 for A

Last year A was 64 and the paper was easier than this time

For A* in fm do you have to average 90% in your 3 A2s or do the specific modules matter here?

Average 90 across 3 A2 modules

480 ums overall in FM PLUS 90% in your best 3 A2 modules

Well the only condition is that the modules are A2 modules and not AS. So it can't be any of the 1's. They average the 3 best A2 modules. Assuming that the overall UMS marks exceed 480, if the A2 modules average to 90%, then you get an A*.
I use 25/25/25/25 for last question instead of working out probabilities using continuous.

how many marks will i lose?

All of the marks I assume as that is completely wrong.

He'll get a mark for stating hypothesis and possibly another B mark elsewhere I think.

I was just guessing from the information given. I assume that the hypothesis involved something about discrete uniform, which would be wrong.
