Q8 ii) I usually don't have problems with iteration but I don't understand what the question is asking and the marking scheme isn't very clear..
Anyone ? What do we have to do ?

you put x=2 in the iterative formula that is given and see what value it converges to
so what i got is 1.86
put 1.86 in the y equation of the graph and you get y as 0.5 :)

Yeah I did this too... but I got 1.89 and when i put it in the y equation I get 0.476.. Is it okay if I round it off to 0.5 then ??

ummmm yeah you put in x as 2 and you get 1.893018......
now you put this value in your equation again and you get 1.867190575
keeping putting the values you get back into the equation till you get a constant answer continuously in this we keep getting 1.85855 which rounds up to 1.86 :)

Oh yes 1.86 is the answer we get for iii)
Okay so that's how we do this one... :unsure:

They told us that 225 out of the 900 cartons has more than 1002 milliliters. So what is the probability that a carton has more than 1002 milliliters? It's 225/900= 0.25. So if we were to standardize 1002 milliliters, you'd get a z value that would correspond to a probability of 0,25 in the normal distribution table. But you don't have 0.25 in the table, so you (1-0.25 = 0.75). So the probability that you would be looking for in the table is 0.75. Which is 0.674. Since the probability is GREATER than 1002, the sign won't change in this case.

Got it, its new, i never used this formula, its annoying how new crap comes out in every new paper :cry:

7 part 2
the curves on the i will be taking them as triangles
okay so as given in the question area of one triangle is A with upper limit pi/4
the area of two triangles is 2A with upper limit as pi/4 + pi/4
so then the area of 40 triangles which is 40A with upper limit as 40 x pi/4 so its 10 pi so k=10

The ages, x years, of 150 cars are summarised by Σx = 645 and Σ x^2= 8287.5. Find Σ(x − x~)^2, where
x~ denotes the mean of x.

ANY one plz
