How did you do the last part of the spinner q when y>x lol this one sloshed my brain
Original post by Squiidsquid
IIRC,

for regular maths: 480UMS overall, 180UMS in C3/4
for further maths: 480 UMS overall, 360UMS in A2 modules

wait, what about the other A2 in the a-level?
1)0.2, 0.6, 0.1 0.9
2)2.4 7.46 8.12 3.89 0.51 More longer delays due to the negative skew
3) 0.1, 0.4413
4) 1/32 5/37
5)a = 0.1, b=0.35 4, 63.9 0.55
6) t= 17.7 - 0.0126h temp at sea level 1.9
7) 11.5% 0.25 0.2212 122 3/32

You replace y with 10 - 3X and rearrange until you have to find
P(x< 2.5) then find that.

1a) a = 0.2
b = 0.6
c = 0.1
1b) F(7) = 0.9

spinner:
a = 0.1
b = 0.35
E(Y) = 4
Var(Y) = 63.9?
P(Y>X) = 0.55

histogram question:
2.5 width and 2.4 height
median 7.46
mean 8.115
skew: 0.5

bead question:
P(bead = green) = 1/32
P(two reds given one is red) = 5/37

4.a) P(µ < X < 17) = 0.1
b. 0.441

regression:
t = 17.7 - 0.0126h
17.7 degrees at sea level
change: -1.89 degrees

7a) P(B < 92) = 11.51%
7b) P(B>Q3) = 0.2215
7c) Q1 = 123g? or 113g?
7d) 3/16


Does anyone remember how many marks each question was ?

I got Q1=123.2


Yup me too, 123.2

What was the question ??? I don’t remember writing a number like that before

The last question was the answer 113.2 or 123.2
Original post by kkkfamyh132
E(X) = 2

Y=10-3X

so find E(Y): E(10-3X) ---> -3E(X)+10 ---> -3*2 +10 = 4

so E(Y) was 4.

someone can confirm if needed



Noooooo I was being silly and I put -9+10 😞😞😞 how many marks will I loose
Original post by Tichey
Hmm, I honestly didn’t even check my working because I thought they matched too well to be wrong lmao. But if some people did get big fractions then I coulda lost a couple of marks

Yes I also got strange fractions for a and b - I tried to solve the simultaneous equations: 3a + 2b = 1 and 26b + 20a =11.1 but substitution

Think my answers my be wrong though?

I think I got a = 0.1 and b = 0.35


Thank you!

What about the paper? Can teachers or schools get the paper and get the answers in the next few days?


Teachers can have the paper tomorrow for sure, and they could write up a crude mark scheme I guess.

All you had to do was change the values to suit y. Whatever number you subbed in and whatever result you got put one underneath the other to compare on a probability distribution table. For example if If x = 1 then y would be 10-3(1) which is 7. So if the spinner was spun on one hand the x score was 1 whereas the other score was 7. And at some point the x values started to become larger than the y values and you had to give the probability of the y values being bigger than the x values. The probabilities were the same as before you just had to realise that the spinner is spun once and this will get you 2 scores one fore x and one for y. You just added the probablities of getting an x value that would be lower than the y value. Which ended up being 0.55. Hope all this helped :smile:
The surveys are *******s, its all relative. an A* students awful is a B students amazing. surely survey what marks you think you got, should give a nice lil normal distribution
101/200 for P(y>x) anyone?

Yes, that’s it. If you multiply equation 1 by 13 you get 39a and 26b = 13. Therefore if you subtract equation 1 with 2 you get 19a = 1.9 which therefore leaves you with a=0.1
lads what will a cheeky 54/75 transfer to in UMS
For regression it was 10 marks I believe . 7 marks then 2 and 1 . If you worked out stt instead of shh at the beginning of the question and used this for the rest of the question how many marks out of the 7 would I lose .
