For the parametrics you use Pythagoras' theorem to express y in terms of k and t, then it comes out from there.

Can you write the domain in bi) as being equal to and greater than 3/4? Also, if you got the probability wrong in the first part of ci) can you still get the 2 marks for ii) if you did the working correctly?

That seems quite harsh. I'm not sure though. And yes, it should be equal to as well, just a typo.

EDIT: Fuck, on second consideration, I might've just put > in the exam. :'(

I don't know about what your teacher's saying, but if your working makes sense and it doesn't make the question easier, you'll get the marks.

for b(i) isnt the asnwer
x is greater than or equal to 3/4?

Apart from that same as you =D

probability question

hey guys this is what i did for the probability.

i said the P(draw)= 1/5x 1/5 = 1/25
so therefore P(win) = 1/2 - 1/25 = 23/50
(1 mark)



so for the next part i did '

(23/50 + 27/50)^6

P(wins 3 games) = 6C3 (23/50)^3 (27/50)^3

(worth 2 marks)

my question is will i get any marks at all for either question ??

Re: probability question

You'll definitely get the second part right, since you used the correct method and even if your first part is wrong you'll still get carry on marks. And if you got i) correct then you get full marks. I'm not sure what the correct answer is though for part i

I got 1/5 :(
hopefully carry through error, or I'm dead

Re: probability question

Part i is wrong, part ii has correct follow through though so you'll still get 2 marks. There was no need for product rule (1/2 - 1/5 would've given you the answer).
