Hey everyone!

The answers that are below are purely provisional - point out the mistakes! If you did a module we don't have please post it! We also have a A Copy of the 2016 VCE Further Maths Exam 1

When we have consensus on a module we'll note it down in this original thread. Let's get some teamwork going!

(If someone has a copy of the exam, that would be great too - personal message me if you have one!)

Not sure about that one either. I think it is ordinal though

But the ages have a natural order as 'under 50' comes before '50 and over'. It makes sense to order them.

Yup, I'd say they were both ordinal as well

[brenden]

Thanks so much for your answers Deejay - really kicking us off.

Has anyone got a copy of the exam?

[Biology24123]

I got D here as well - You are either under 50 or over 50

[blossum]

I got D here as well - You are either under 50 or over 50

If you're either one of the other, doesn't that make it ordinal?
It's the same as having Yes or No, or Bad, Good and Excellent. If it was all specific age data, then I think it would be nominal.

Bad good excellent is ordinal. Yes or no is nominal
