Aargh, failed to finish the last part of question 4...I thought that exam was cruelly tough.
The Finnish word pilkunnussija, which translates literally to “comma fucker,” is someone who risks his social wellbeing to annoyingly and persistently point out punctuation errors.

Completed VCE in 2010 - Now doing BSc at UoM

My CAS ruined it for me

Took ages to input the equations

then it left me with "no solutions" and "insufficient memory"

DAMN YOU CASIO

How did people do 21 in MC? Mutually exclusive....
Pr(A)=p and Pr(B)=q..
Find Pr(A' (intersect) B')

>.> I did C...as a last minute thing. LOL I shaded the box when the lady said PENS DOWN >.>

I got p=4, and only had 2 simultaneous equations?

Dunno what option that was nor if it was right...
