    Stats

    A good question. When we are analysing a large data set with a symmetric distribution (i.e. normally called a Gaussian curve or a normal distribution), it is generally the case that the mean is ~ equal to the median. But when I have a skewed distribution, the mean is also skewed towards the...

    Internal marks and rankings vs external marks- what ATAR did you end up getting?

    I think you are stressing a bit too much. All I will say is that doing your best in all the things that you are already doing is sufficient for a 90+ ATAR for sure - just make sure that you are aware of how different your school assessments are different to the actual HSC because, in the end...

    Extension 2 Help

    Yes, I think leaving one hour for q16 is possible and is a good strategy. Clean up the basics so much that you donot need a formula sheet and a calculator (atleast as much as you can - sometimes you need to evaluate trig stuff and you will need a calculator)/ It might seem weird and unimportant...

    can someone please explain 5b to me

    Can someone confirm the solution:

    projection of a 2d curve in 3d plane onto each of the planes

    no - I mean the projection's parametric equation would be z=0 and y=a where a is restricted within the original function's range (basically your x-component becomes 0). It is not what you are imagining - this are 3-d geometry and you cannot assume 2-d rules... atleast that is where I think the...

    projection of a 2d curve in 3d plane onto each of the planes

    line - z = 0 to be precise from the initial value of y's range to the final value of final value of y's range

    The hardest task I have ever faced in my HSC

    you know when you have something like this the first thing you search is Catalan numbers and you get a wiki page. Yeh. Go through it first - link: https://wiki2.org/en/Catalan_number Dont be super intimidated by it. Recurrence relation - when I have a sequence where I know n number of terms...

    projection of a 2d curve in 3d plane onto each of the planes

    yes. i think i understand a bit. So what you're basically doing is this: Imagine you had a piece of paper on a table and a pencil that is perpendicular to the table (this is the z-axis). Now if I look from the top (which is the x-y plane) i see a parabola (doesn't really matter what the eqn...

    projection of a 2d curve in 3d plane onto each of the planes

    umm... some visuals maybe - i cannot really understand what your saying but from what I can make of your statement, I can imagine the curve y=x^2 in the 3-d space. Now its parametric equation would be y = a^2 and x = a and z = 0. But if I, per se, want this parabola on the y-z plane, then it...

    Year 11 Subject Selection

    It is nice that you like most of your subjects, especially chemistry but I would be wary. Chemistry is content-heavy and so is economics but I think you can definitely manage it as long as you schedule it properly. It also helps that you have a subject that you can break free with (the textiles)...

    Gravimetric analysis

    My dumb brain. Why?

    Gravimetric analysis

    Hello, I think this is good enough. (the wording is pretty bad tho) - hope it helps.

    Mod 6 multiple choice

    So, the goal of this question is to decrease the concentration of dichromate. First, we should identify which one is the dichromate which is clearly Cr2O7 2- as per the name (di- = 2 and chromate = chromium and oxygen compound). As a result, we are trying to shift the equilibrium to the left...

    mod 6 MC

    So the total mass of the sample is 4.52g which will obviously be in the denominator because we are finding the %weight/weight ratio between sulphate and the original sample. Now to determine the numerator, we need to know how much of the barium sulphate mass is actually sulphate. Consider the...

    Does God exist?

    nah. efdit: maybe

    Does God exist?

    Near my home town. It is more of a tribal sorta thing near the hills in the ghats. some people like that. That was all - just a fun fact lol.

    Does God exist?

    oh. that was why I said select. I am not generalising.

    Does God exist?

    i am indian. i can account for it. any further suggestions?
  19. U

    Does God exist?

    lol. Western people and their religion. a big fat mess you are ay. haha. (I don't know why people are getting so angry about this daamn) indians are better. You tell a select group of them that their god doesn't exist they will just chop your head off. Then you'll see the lord for sure. Have fun/
