Yeah was a tad tricker than usual imo

Surprised at the lack of normal distribution questions and Newton's method

[calvinevox]

The last question was hard to comprehend, other were pretty ordinary.

Can you get 40+ if you lose around 2 marks in exam 1

Can you get 40+ if you lose around 2 marks in exam 1

Definitely. You can even lose 1 mark and get 50 by doing almost perfect on exam 2.

How did anyone go in terms of checking? I spent all my time on question 8 part a and I got no where ( though 1 mark for working) so I didn't get time to check my answers.

What did you guys get for the last question? The one about whether 1/e was greater or less than the median?

Greater. 0 to 1/e seemed to be 12/15 when you subbed in e=5/2. Can anyone confirm.?
