    HSC 2015 Economics Marathon

    Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon Hey Ekman, what textbook explains the Dutch disease again. I have it in my notes but I can't remember where I sourced it. I probably need more detail - is the Dutch Disease where Australia's increasing level of commodity exports causes an appreciation of the...

    MX2+EE2=0.5(SYDNEY GRAMMAR COHORT) and it doesn't take the 5 or so of them who will state rank maths this year to know what I'm getting at in this formula.

    Economic Growth - A Few Hard Questions

    3. More money is being passed around. Less is saved more is spent. Thus, a greater amount of income than what was initially injected is being passed around to many bodies of the economy. Because their incomes increase, they spend more, which stimulates economic activity to a greater extent than...

    Economic Growth - A Few Hard Questions

    Hey bro, not too sure about the first one. The MPS influences the multiplier, which influences the resulting change in national income through changes to aggregate demand.

    So 3 weeks left to trials... can i do it?

    How many units do you do? In the event that you do 10-12, 3 weeks should be enough. Don't worry about making your own personal summary. Grab a pair of notes that are comfortable and tailored to your learning style eg. Colour, white space. I find I learn best when I read over the notes and...

    How would you talk about public goods in the following question?

    Discuss the economic concerns that the government takes into account when formulating policies to manage the environment. It's a past HSC question. I checked the markers' comments and it said that better students addressed issues like market failure, which is a no-brainier, but public goods...

    2015-16 Budget

    Hi guys, How will this year's budget influence environmental outcomes eg. Pollution, supply of renewable and non-renewable resources, climate change, etc? Will the budget also influence Australia's external stability in terms of our CAD? Is it directly aimed at improving external...

    Linking back to thesis/question

    Hey guys, So one issue I'm facing now is forming a concise essay with quotes and examples that directly target the question. I'm able to write dense paragraphs with lots of techniques and analysis (to the point where parts of my paragraph are too wordy and disjointed) but my teacher always...

    Overproduced and underproduced

    Hey guys, I need an explanation as to why merit goods with positive externalities are underproduced and demerit goods tend to be overproduced. Does it have anything to do with the private sector?

    Is that what your answers say? I'm not entirely convinced that it's recessive.

    HSC Biology Marathon 2015

    Indeterminate. To be honest it's difficult to explain it but you figure it out by assuming that the trait is recessive and then assigning the recessive alleles to each affected member. You then use "trial and error" to see if it's correct. Assuming it's recessive, then the mum is (XtXt) and the...

    Beadle and Tatum & DNA replication

    You basically need to know their experiment and what their findings showed. They irradiated a strand of neurospora crassa (a certain bread mould) and found that the mutation inhibited the production and use of certain enzymes. They also cross-bred the mutated strain with an unaffected mould and...

    Relationship between ToT and CAD

    Hi guys, What impact does changes in the terms of trade have on the CAD. If Australia undergoes structural change assisted by productivity improvements and producers are able to lower export prices, our international competitiveness improves but export prices fall. Say our exports are highly...

    HSC Biology Marathon 2015

    I thought that freshwater fish gain water by osmosis? Since their surrounding environments are highly diluted, water rushes into the fish to create an isotonic balance of solutes in and outside the fish. But why does it absorb salts if it wants to get rid of water?

    HSC Biology Marathon 2015

    T-cells - more specifically, cytotoxic (killer) T-cells become memory T-cells after they've triggered specific immune responses against an antigen. Helper T-cells act more efficiently in the event of subsequent exposures to the same antigen.

    Videos are also really good to work with (look on Youtube). If the theory is visually presented, you'll more likely understand and remember it.
