if I'm averaging 85-90% for further and make a total of 10 mistakes between exam 1 and 2, will I still be able to achieve a 40?

[minerva]

I'm really disappointed .. I just found that I've made 4 wrong answers. I have an A average in SACs and assuming that I got an A on Exam 1, is it still possible for me to get a 40?

Yes

Guys is the inequation for part b x> (or equal to) 2y   ??

  whar study score should I expect to receive with the number 1 ranking for sacs (99/100) with exam 1 37-38/40?  Maybe a 59/60 for Exam 2

Assuming http://studyscorecalc.com is correct, you sir, will be looking at about 47+
But there are loads of variables that can play a role in your result so don't be banking on anything, just do well and wait till December 12th (or whenever they're released ahah)

Seems fine to me.

How do you guys think we should study for exam 2? Just do more practice exams? Not really sure what else to do, I feel like I've done enough already

Best advice I can give you (Which my teacher said to me yesterday)

Do practise exams. But also, go through the study design. Check off the dot points that were addressed in Exam 1. Whatever wasn't in exam 1, is more than likely to be in exam 2.

these are my predictions (stats) for exam 2 based on yesterday:


DATA ANALYSIS

- Describing the shapes of graphs
- Interpereting box plots
- IQR/Range
- Outliers- fence equations i.e- Q3 x (1.5 x IQR)
- Comparing data sets
- Back to back stem plots
- Explanatory/Response Variables
- R and R^2 will definately be on it
- Least squares reg
- Time series
- Trend lines
- Interpolation/Extrapolation
- Causation/Correlation
- Smoothing data
- Calulating the mean
- Z scores ( was touched on but not greatly )
- Interpereting bivariate data
- Interpereting a least squares regression equation:

Thank you so much staceyschh!

Can someone please help me with this from the study design:
-cause and effect; the difference between observation and experimentation when collecting data and the need for experimentation to definitively determine cause and effect
-non-causal explanations for an observed association including common response, confounding, and coincidence; discussion and communication of these explanations in a particular situation in a systematic and concise manner.

My textbook doesn't really explain this

I was wondering for the first question I attached, my teacher says you round to 19 but others say round to 18 payments as it is the 'nearest whole number', unlike 19. Please help!!!

[Aurora22]

I don't see why the Further kids have to miss out on their own question thread! Post anything you're stuck with here and we'll try our best to help you out.

It might be a good idea to sticky this thread, just like the Methods and Specialist ones.

I need help with crashing in NETWORKS, my teacher doesnt know it and i dont either.

Put it in your finance solver, after 18 payments there still is x amount of dollars/cents remaining on the balance. You need to round up when it comes to looking for number of payments until the fv value is actually 0 on the dot.

You could have 10 payments of $100 and then the 11th payment only be $3.50 paying off whats left. Does that make sense?
