odd question lol but inner west and south line

you could just organise to come with friends if you're truly concerned :)

I might be actually able to go to this. :haha:

I would advise to maintain a balance when you enter Year 12. This means not just caring about academics, because while it is important, maintaining a healthy well-being is the basis to striving in academics. Do not be too hard on yourself, since there may be times during Year 12 where you...

It isn't too bad. There's a mix of questions that seem too painfully easy to be true, average questions and then questions like these that you have to read over several times while thinking "why the hell is it worded like this."

lol literally what all the probability questions were like for General Maths (hence why I probably didn't see it as dodgy, since I've gotten used to reading questions like that) that's probably the only bothersome thing about that subject

Just try to remember that in questions like this, unless it's otherwise specified, you will have to assume that the chances of picking between the groups is equal. I know it sounds a little bit ridiculous but usually they word these questions poorly and add irrelevant information (in this case...

But it's not asking the chance of directly picking a person in the first group. It's asking the chance of picking the first group and then picking a person out of that first group. I understand that it is poorly worded but the "then" in the question does indicate it's a two-step answer. Hence...

Look at it this way. There are 2 groups, are there not? The question specifies that Minh is approaching the first group. So what is the chance of Minh approaching one of the two groups (the first group)? Obviously it is 1/2. Do not think about whether there are the same amount of people in each...

There are two groups of people at a party and Minh is blind-folded. In the first group there are 4 men, 3 women and 2 children. In the second group there are 7 men and 5 women. Minh is spun around and asked to select one person at random. Find the probability that Minh approaches a person in...

yes but first and foremost she has to approach one of the two groups in order to choose a person therefore you calculate the chance of her approaching the first group which is 1/2 and then selecting a woman out of that group which is 3/9. after that you would multiply the two as the answer states

Exactly! Maybe my experiences at high school for english were not the same as others, but it was actually assumed that everyone knew how to write an essay. There was very little focus on how to argue a thesis or appropriately use evidence to support a thesis. This is why I have been asserting...

But the question is then whether english in years 11 and 12 focuses on general language composition. In my opinion, it focuses more on the use of literary language, which most of the time cannot be applied to research essays in university. I think we have all agreed that being able to utilise...

pls don't remind me so many tears for dzeko

When did I say having a well-spoken population is not good for the public? I said this is not something that english in years 11 and 12 particularly focuses on, because being well-spoken is something that more relates to verbal expression rather than written expression. You cannot expect all...

Of course, I am not attempting to argue that the current benefits of english are completely redundant. Like you have said, I am more expressing that the current benefits of english are certainly not exemplary, nor are they particularly superior to the current benefits offered by other subjects...

I completely agree. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed doing english in years 11 and 12, but I still feel it had too much focus on reading literature. Additionally, it's not like there aren't other subjects in years 11 and 12 that build on essay writing; in fact at times I found my history subjects...

But what about the students that are better in mathematics or science and are obliged to do english? If I have gathered anything about your arguments on this thread, it is that 1. you are ignorant to the aforementioned individuals and 2. you appear to have an inaccurate view of english in the...

No.
