Lol, what?
Isn't it 7/15?
Prime numbers: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
Therefore: 7 possible prime numbers
Total possible numbers: 1, 2, 3, …, 15 = 15
therefore probability = 7/15
haha silly! I got that question wrong as well. 1 isn't actually a prime number.. I was pretty annoyed afterwards when I found out lol.
This.

97, read a question wrong and lost 3 marks
, should of had 100@1 not being a prime
They don't consider 1 to be a prime anymore because it means that there are infinite prime products of any non-prime integer.
For example: 10 can be written as 5 times 2, so it has 1 product of just primes. But if 1 were a prime, then we could say 5 times 2, 5 times 2 times 1, 5 times 2 times 1 times 1, and so on, meaning it would be infinite.

Hahah. No wonder I failed MX2 last week.
I got 96 on the SC though. Which I think was the highest or second highest at school and I didn't study and I came ~20th in the in school assessments. So, SC is pretty easy, don't stress.
Btw, I thought the definition of a prime number was a number that only had a factor of 1 times itself. And 1 has factors 1x1.
No idea.

That's not SC. Lol
I don't get why they would make a school certificate exam if they are going to be testing you on year 8 work?

x^2+(4/3)x+1=0
x^2+(4/3)x=-1
(x+2/3)^2=-1+4/9=-5/9
Hence, there is no solution to the equation

no actually, that would have stunned many people with less exposure to these questions as some dont trust their ability in algebra
Aw you beat me by one! Grr. I stuffed up two multiple choices cos I was stupid and misread them, and then I got the prime number question wrong and in question where you had to draw a square pyramid I forgot to indicate that the base was actually a square and I didn't draw on any right angles or the dashes to show that the sides were all equal.. haha97, read a question wrong and lost 3 marks
@1 not being a prime
They don't consider 1 to be a prime anymore because it means that there are infinite prime products of any non-prime integer.

Well yeah and then so 1 only has 1 factor, like 1 and itself would be 1 and 1, so then it doesnt really have two factors? if that makes sense.. kinda makes sense in my head lol.
