I fumbled on it losing the sqrt somewhere along the way but no i didn't even read the after T seconds part lol. If i didn't mess up the sqrt i would've still gotten it right without using t=T.

interesting.. that might mean you get penalised for the 'show' questions

lol look at all these hieroglyphics, i don't understand their garbage solution at all. what i did was
E(x) = p = 20 = mu
-------q = 80
var(x) = pq/n
P(X>x)
P(X<x) = 1 - P(X>x)
look at table find z score
z = k - mu / sigma
then solved from there to get k = 26.

They never taught us their nomenclature so i never used it lol.

ngl even that's weird to me cuz i never properly worked on sample props, i just use standard formulas to do it.

still gets k=26 tho

I did math advanced style of working out, much simpler as well. I don't know why they need to show off they are using university level nomenclature, it's not that deep lmao

I doubt they will deduct marks if you did it my or your way. The marking guidelines for max marks is usually "correct solution". Since the question asked for "find the value of k" k = 26 is indeed enough to get full marks regardless of working

Did any of you actually consider "After T seconds"?

this is genuinely a retarded question
i just said some shit about it accelerating the same amount if both is increased in height i didnt know how to approach it i studied binomials not projectile motion, so over im pissing and shitting myself with anger or something i dont know
