POLL: Controversial Question 8 (Core)
« on: November 02, 2009, 06:58:36 pm »
This question has divided further maths students all over victoria.

Those who believed that we had to read between lines chose C, whilst those who thought it was a simple read-off-the-graph question chose E

The answer to this question will determine the fate of many, as "40/40" dreams will be shattered and that chance to achieve 40+ study score may be just out of reach with the revelation of the TRUE answer to this question   :P

So, which answer is correct, C or E?

thank God

I see no reason why it can't be E. Like I have read the logic of those who say its C....but it doesn't make sense, not something people GENERALLY would even consider when answering this question. In past exams they have put a segmented bar chart, and the answer was just trying to see if you can demonstrate the ability to read off a graph...some people struggle believe it or not. So yeah.

Lets pretend C was correct...it would be had to say E is wrong then...so yeah.

EDIT: I think I'm starting to see where c pplz are going, but yeah. E all the way xD

We don't know that the number of animals for each of low, medium and high exposure to danger is equal, so we can't compare them that way. There could be 100 for low, 100 for medium and 20000 for high, for all we know.  :-\
