It was pretty hard but it’s fine bc grade boundaries will be low and paper 2 will probably be really easy

What did everyone put for the spearman’s rank reasoning I said about bears moving around the forest but could be wrong because that was the only one I could think of and migration and tags falling off had already been said


what i swear spearman’s was about cheese

for that one, i said births, because they only considered deaths but births increase the population

would you still get all the marks if you put 0.68?

Guys what did you think of the paper and difficulty overall? I thought it was more difficult than previous years like 2023 and 2024

I agree

I got 19065 for the capture recapture question and -0.684 for the spearman rank question. Also for the tree diagram please tell me you guys put 'p' and '1 - p' for two of the gaps. And what did everyone get for the question about a connector having a 0.05 probability of failing, I think I got 0.19.

all of my answers r the same as urs, except for the probability tree one. I feel like cuz it said the probability of it being from call centre B and being succesful is p, u'd hav to multiply the two branches to get p - I think I got like p/0.4 and 1-(p/0.4). no clue if that was right tho im pretty sure i didnt read the question

should do, max youll lose 1 mark for not seeing that the first column was ranked the other way round, but i highly doubt it
