Legitimately think I failed. Gussed about half of questions on multi choice, blanked out on so many questions. Rip me

All this time I thought variance for combination of variables was a squared var(x) + bsquared var(y) but it wasn't an answer for mc:(

I got A (SD=3root29), only way it turned out as an answer.

Found sample SD of both oranges and lemons then squared it to get variance. Found 9*Var(oranges)+4*Var(lemons), then square rooted it.

A for me, you got to the answer by not squaring the coefficient of the variance since it was repeat selection

Temporarily using this as the exam discussion thread -

How did everyone go about finding the obtuse angle between the he paths of the vectors?
I had no idea, did some weird trig and got 90.4

Yep can confirm

I got the gradients of the lines, then the tangent of each. Make a triangle, subtract from 180 to find the missing angle. Ended up with about 103?

I found the velocity vector of both ships and dot product. Ended up with around 97 degrees?

I turned it into a triangle, found two angles and subtracted both from 180 to get around 97 degrees.
