Did anyone do the scaling one? ( The first question in part B )
And also the last question in part A.
The assumed mean was 299. something right? and the s.d 0.49?
What was to be done in the second part of the question? I just multiplied both the answers by 1000 to get the ans in the thing that was required:/ others did something else though.. dunno.
Also in the true and false question.. I got 2 Trues and 4 False... what about you guys?

Yar i think most of those people are wrong! It makes no sense to leave the s.d at 0.49!!!! You had to multiply by 1000 as the question said that using your answers in part (i) calculate the s.d and mean in kilometers /hour and not thousands of kilometers/hours as given in the question in the previous part! In the first part most of the people gave the mean as . something... but I think the mean was 299. something!
If someone would remember the exact question that was asked.. anyway that is what I remember and I think what I did was correct :|.Not possible that the mean in part (i) was . something and in part (ii) You just added 299 to it... it makes no sense whatsoever..

hmm yeah I guess you are right.
I feel a bit more confident now though because I now know that I wasn't the only one who did the question like this hehe!
Yar really, the paper this time around was very different from before.. I think the percentile will definitely drop and I think one can secure an A at at least 170+
What do you think?
By the way, where from Lahore are you drevil and what school do you go to if you don't mind me asking?

Hmm yeah usually the percentile fixes at about 92.5% .
This time definitely the paper was more difficult than the previous times, so I'm pretty sure the A percentile will be around that mark 82 - 85 % .
Lets hope for the best!!!!
