For those wondering, it can be found here, answers can be found here and marking guidelines here.

If anyone is doing the exam now, try to keep any questions you have to this thread.

I'm stuck on Q24 c ii.. Anyone have any idea? I know the answer, but no idea how it was achieved.

 

[Casmira]

look at my attachment, ignore the wierd face, but you see how each section is split up into 68%, 95%, and 99.7%, you can further break down the ranges inbetween as shown, then you just keep that as like a 'template' in your head and any question like that one you utilise that

good luck tommorow

anyone ask me as well i got 94% practice this paper

 

[Jayphen]

Ahh, thanks dude Makes sense.

I'm sure I'll come across more easy questions that I can't answer, so don't go too far

 

[Jayphen]

Oh! I also had problems with section 1 Q19, and section 2 Q23 b ii

i know everyone keeps going on about this paper being so easy, does that mean this year's will be tougher.

like these are my results for the hsc papers

2001: 82%
2002: 79%
2003: 75%
2004: 94%

I finished 2004 paper with about 40 minutes to go. they better not hit us hard this year

 

[Casmira]

only 75 on 2003?! that paper wasnt really that bad
supposedly Tommy_69 they "praised" last years paper, so they'll probably keep it at same degree of difficulty (ie. a joke)

19)

A = P(1+r)^n
= $250(1+ 0.05/100)^30
= 253.78c

Therefore: the interest is the End amount minus the principa;

$253.78c - $250 = $3.78 which is B

bi) N = x+ 115

ii)
415 = x + x + 115
415 = 2x + 115
-415 -415

300 = 2x
x = 150

ok no general student in nsw could do the HSC 2002 last question. it was a bloody joke

 

[Jayphen]

Thanks guys - your answers are alot of help. I appreciate it.

 

[Casmira]

thats an easy question! its just takes a few minutes (ie. 5 ) (general maths 2002 last q)

^ if they're so easy and the 2004 paper was a "joke" are you going to get a state ranking? you'll need at least 97+

 

[Jayphen]

Having trouble with Q28 Ci. I know nothing about median regression lines!

Apart from the one's I've mentioned, it was a pretty easy test overall.

can anyone please show me the working out for question 24 B)i) ? i dont know wat forumals can b used to find the angle..

 

[Jayphen]

can anyone please show me the working out for question 24 B)i) ? i dont know wat forumals can b used to find the angle..

Well directly east would be 90 degrees. Half-way between east and south (south east) is half of 90 degrees, so add 45 degrees to the 90.
=135 degrees.

If you don'\t understand my woeful explanation, I'll draw a diagram for you.

can anyone please show me the working out for question 24 B)i) ? i dont know wat forumals can b used to find the angle..

24 b i) - it states that Q is south east of A, south east means that it is between south (180 ) and east ( 90 ) meaning that it is in between them, and 135 degrees around.

 

[rego2]

oh cool thanks.. i forgot all about the NE SW thing omg....

 

[Casmira]

^ if they're so easy and the 2004 paper was a "joke" are you going to get a state ranking? you'll need at least 97+

of course not, just because its easy doesn't mean I'll get it right

 

[danieljarvis]

haha. that made me laugh, so true

 

[Casmira]

it is true you know how many stupid mistakes i made? reaeding only first sentance of a Q and assume answer

 

[sally_33]
