    What would happen if my paper 2 graph question had a point plotted wrongly, and the subsequent parts had the wrong answers because the graph had the wrong shape. Will i get the whole graph question wrong? or can i still get some marks because of error carried forward?
    Thankyou!

    My paper 2 was not tied in the qns order for the graph
    qns, which is qns7. Instead, I tied it to the last page. Is it alright?? :/

    Hi.,. made a lot of careless mistakes T.T
    How much do you think this year A1 and A2? T.T
    For gradient of tangent, since scale is smaller, is it true that the range of accepted answer will be bigger than usual? My answer is 2.04. Then can explain to me about the probability qns last part?
    Thanks T.T

    Q10c)

    Let the two people you pick be labeled A and B.

    What's the probability of picking A, then a B (without replacement of the A)? (calculating only possible outcome: AB)

    Ans: (11/16)(10/15) = 11/24

    What's the probabilty of picking 2 people out of the lot, and having an end result of A and B in your selection, regardless of sequence? (calculating possible outcomes: AB, BA)

    Ans: 11/24 + 11/24 = 11/12

    Basically:

    Probability of getting AB + Probability of getting BA = 11/12

    Shouldn't this be the case, Ms Loi? :0

    •  
      4.1

      @Kester Tay: Q10(b)(ii)(b) requires us to find the probability that neither of two members selected at random is a right-handed female.

      Do you first agree that both members selected die die cannot be right-handed females? This means that not even one of them can be a right-handed female.

      So this translates simply into:

      The first member you select from the group die die cannot be a right-handed female ⇒ probability = 11/16

      AND

      The second member you select from those remaining in the group die die cannot be a right-handed female ⇒ probability = 10/15

      ∴ P(neither is a right-handed female)
      = (11/16)(10/15) = 11/24

      If you still don't believe Miss Loi, you may work things out the long-winded way by considering all possibilities of not selecting any right-handed female as presented in the probability tree diagram below (note: we can't have even one right-handed female selected at any point):

      GCE O Level 2012 EMaths Paper 2 Q10(b)(ii) Probability Tree Diagram

      So P(neither is a right-handed female)
      = (6/16)(5/15 + 3/15 + 2/15) + (3/16)(6/15 + 2/15 + 2/15) + (2/16)(6/15 + 3/15 + 1/15)
      = (6/16)(10/15) + (3/16)(10/15) + (2/16)(10/15)
      = (11/16)(10/15)
      = 11/24

      *This reply was typed out by a left-handed female*

      P.S. If Miss Loi understands the cases you've presented, you are labelling a person of "type A or B" but in actual fact for Q10(b)(ii) there should be only one "type" i.e. "not a right-handed female".

    If I have an inaccurate "P" value for the graph question, however my tangent and x- coordinates are correct, do I still qualify for the marks for part C) onwards?

    1)For 9(c), i mistakenly wrote OM as 4cm instead of my calculated OM value. So my ans for part c is wrong, so will there be method marks given for part c, d and e and will there be 'error carry forward?'
    2) for 4 ci) i did divide the 3.97x10^13 by 60k and then 12, will i get method mark for that?

    For question 10a)i)a), can it be 37 instead of 37.4? Also, 10a)iii) can it be saying that the chem students had a lower median and higher upper quartile?

    Hey wanted to ask whether the graphquestions 7'c) , 7d) and 7e) has a range of answers? If so, is answers to 7c) x= 2.4 ad x=3.3 , 7d) gradient = 1.51 and 7e) min pt. (2.8, -0.3) acceptable? Thank you for the solutions. Really appreciate it. 🙂

    For 6.(b)(v) I multiplied 1.05 to the original prices ($2.50/$3), then I found a new P and got a different total new fee. Is this method acceptable?

    For the graph can I start with 1 on the x-axis and -1 on the y-axis.For part c can 2.35 and 3.55 be accepted and the gradient 1.73 be accepted. Can the min point be (3,-0.35)

    Hi, just a question.

    For example after i put P(Neither Blahblah)= 3/24

    I rewrite the sentence : The probability of Neither Blah Blah is 3/24.

    Accepted? Haha

    Shouldnt the answer be only 5,7,9,10,11,13,14,15.
    Why is there no. 3,6,12 ?
    Can you explain? Thank you. (:

    Hi,

    Im very worried about qn 2d. I got my a) b) and c) right. Just that i somehow got 2d wrong. I used cosine rule for triangle ECD... So i may have gotten some values wrong. Ended up getting DE = 12.9 or something. So would i get 0/3m for this? Or would i get method mark for using cosine rule?

    8e) I showed my working : 2000/161.8, somehow i evaluated it wrongly cause i may have typed it in cal wrongly. Would i be given 1m for this?

    10a)i)a) Median i put as 37.5?

    10b)ii)b) Probability of getting neither right handed female, if i got my ans as 11/12, would i get 0/2m? Or is there any chance of 1m?

      @Jsn: For Q2(d), if you read through how method marks are awarded, they are awarded based on the correct application of the formula rather simply stating the use of the formula.

      From your description, you appear to have used the cosine rule on the wrong triangle so, strictly speaking, no method mark will be awarded if this is the case 🙁 (Miss Loi hopes she's wrong here for your sake)

      For Q8(e), it depends on the mark scheme but since there are 2 marks in this part, there's a chance to for a 1 mark redemption here.

      For Q10(a)(i)(a), 37.5 should be fine ^^

      For Q10(b)(ii)(b), again it ultimately depends on the mark scheme but for probability questions like this one where you need to get the concept right from the start, it's often a case of 0 or full marks 🙁

    Hi Ms Loi ,

    For qn 4c i) I wrote my ans as 8.14X10^13 instead of 8.1356x10^13. minus marks for that ?

    Qn 10b) i counted the total group of students as 17 instead of 16 , thus i got all the answers wrong for 10b , will i get any marks for that qn ?

    I did not put the curly sign or (3.sf) for most of the qns . Will i still get penalised for that ?

    Thanks 😀

    Hi Ms Loi, for question 4ciii) is it okay to write "Assume one month has 31 days" and divide the value by (31x12) instead of 365?

    And for question 7c), will marks be deducted for not showing "Hence y=0"?

    Lastly, what do you think this year A1 mark will be?

    For last probability qn, i thought it meant it cannot be both right handed female. The qn is phrased such that it is actually trying to convey that cannot have AT LEAST ONE right handed female....... 🙁
