Post exam discussion here.

Good luck methods students i'm sure you'll do fine ^_^

It's fairly schadenfreude of me, but I'm hoping it's impossible for them.

[Ahmad]

Why?

..and many must be dying right now haha.

FUCKERS PUT RELATED RATES OF CHANGE ON THE EXAM *($@&$*@($@()

I rly rly rly hope I get >50% .

Although, exam wasn't THAT hard, comparatively.

[zamatt]

Well..... not bad.. bit harder than last year which is good!
I had no idea about that probability question (A U B), and the next one with mutually exclusive but took a guess at 0 and i think i was right!

[squance]

It was pretty good.....but....I could oonly do 10/12 questions

Damn probability!!!

That one where it was A union B or something...at the end, I realised you had to use Karnaugh maps or something... :cry:

And then there was this question about fine weather and a plane trip arriving on time.... can something explain the question to me please...would iti be possible to solve the question by tree diagram or something?

[reg]

I think that question was use of Markov chains, at least the way I did it.

on the bright side, no sketching graphs lolololol ftw

[dashkenny]

yes lucky i practised rate of change like 10 times last night

still screwed the exam. look at 50-65%

never seen last question before :|

haha that q was awsome, i drew some mad vendiagrams with my highlighters lol

rate of change q was good, i got 2/3 cm/s

yeah i used markov chain for the first part of the prob Q got like .68

last Q was FKN GAY GAY GAY ( i made a triangle with the eqn and the line going thru the origin as a normal then attempted to find the hypotunse... completely wrong, aparently you had to sub in P into the eqn)

and the binomial Q where you had to evaluate 4 C 3 <-- fuked it up  

it was harder than last years thats for sure, but it wasnt really that hard, it was reasonable, finished with about 5 mins to spare. i would have mainly lost marks on arithmetic error and silly mistakes

thank the lord there was no sketching trig graphs!!!!! would have definaltly run out of time if there was

bring on exam 2!

?

I'm fairly sure the question stated more than 2 customers buying coffee, unless you did 1 -?

[maxleng]

oh no wait, i mean 4 C 3... actualy i dno i think i screwed it up lol

[zamatt]

What did ppl get for the last part of the plane question...i came out with 8/17 which came from (.8x.4)/.68

[bonghead]

hey did anyone write all the solutions to the methods exam i want to see what kind of score im looking at

[Khangfu]

Exam wasn't that hard. You guys just panicked too much.
