Yup. You do. The ms says you could draw a pie or a bar chart. Pie charts have been removed from our syllabus. Anyhow, what you need to do is- on the SAME graph, draw two bars. You should shade one and leave the other one unshaded. The shaded one could represent males or vice versa. You get the point right?

The points A and B have position vectors, relative to the origin O, given by
−−→OA = i+2j+3k and −−→OB = 2i+j+3k.
The line l has vector equation
r = (1−2t)i+ (5+t)j+ (2−t)k.
(i) Show that l does not intersect the line passing through A and B. [4]
(ii) The point P lies on l and is such that angle PAB is equal to 60◦
. Given that the position vector
of P is (1 − 2t)i + (5 + t)j + (2 − t)k, show that 3t
2
+ 7t + 2 = 0. Hence find the only possible
position vector of P.
anyone help???

Assalamoalaikum!!

For permutations and combinations watch this whole series of the tutorial, and you're good to go! ;) http://www.examsolutions.co.uk/maths-re ... rial-1.php


I see people finding permutations and combinations hard, but honestly i enjoy it a lot..

And one more thing, (you may understand this better may be after you've gone through the topic, but anyways)
to make out when you have to use permutation (nPr of the calculator) and when to use combinations (nCr) , checck if the different arrangements of the selections will make any difference or not...if it does then you've to use nPr, and if it doesn't then u must use nCr.

Eg. lets say I want to choose two numbers from a total of three..how many possible selections are there?

now see i may choose 1 2 ; 1 3 ; 2 3
now the no. i've chosen can be written as 2 1 ; 3 1 ; 3 2

and obviously, this is giving me different numbers, so here arrangement does matter..so go for nPr => 3P2 = 6

but say if i got to chose 2 people from a total of 3 (A, B and C)

so possibilities are A B ; A C ; B/ C
and if i make this as B A ; C A ; C B
it doesn't make any difference as in the end there are the same people whether A first or B first....so that means arrangement does not matter...we'll use nCr => 3C2 = 3

P.S. These were pretty simple examples, I used them to explain the concept...you'll find this part of my explanation helpful when later on you tackle some more harder situations...this part really makes this thing easy...it did for me ;)

[plz explain permutations too by using quest from p.papers?
