The symbol is a comparitor that $<$ says that the object to its left is less than the object to its right. Similarly, $>$ says the object to its left is greater than the object to its right.

In each case the sentence can be read in two ways e.g. $a<b$ can be read as \"$a$ is less than $b$\" OR \"$b$ is greater than $a$\".

\n

The symbol $\\leq$ just changes the sentence to include \"...or equal to...\". This can be of particular relevance when dealing with integers (whole numbers) e.g. $x \\geq 4$ and $x$ is a whole number means that $x$ could be $4, 5, 6,$ or $7$ and so on. Whereas, $x>4$ and $x$ is a whole number means that $x$ could be $5,6,$... etc. Notably in the second case $x$ cannot be $4$.

And is a way for us to remember guidance about the order in which calculations are carried out to ensure that everyone doing teh same sum gets the same answer. In this case the first thing that is in the question is Division.

\n

First work through the expression from left to right, evaluating any division as you come to it. You should be left with an expression involving only pluses and minuses. Evaluate this expression, again working from left to right. Thus:

\n

\n

\\[\\var{h}-\\var{a2*b2} \\div \\var{b2}\\]

\n

\\[=\\var{h}-\\var{a2}\\]

\n

\\[=\\var{h-a2}\\]

Round $\\var{c1}$ to a given number of decimal places.

", "advice": "

The first thing to do when we are rounding numbers is to identify the last digit we are keeping.

\n

When you're asked to round your answer to a number of decimal places, you need to decide whether to keep the last digit the same (rounding down) or increase it by 1 (rounding up). If the following digit is less than 5 we round down and we round up when the next digit is 5 or more.

\n

To write it down in steps:

\n
    \n
      \n
        \n
          \n
        1. Identify the last digit we need to keep.
        2. \n
        3. Look at the following digit.
        4. \n
        5. If it's 5 or more, increase the previous digit by one.
        6. \n
        7. If it's 4 or less, keep the previous digit the same.
        8. \n
        9. Fill any spaces to the right of the digit with zeros if needed.
        10. \n
        \n
      \n
    \n
\n

It is important to keep in mind that if the digit we are increasing is 9, it becomes zero and we increase the previous digit instead. If this digit is 9 as well, we move along to the left side until we find a digit less than 9.

\n
\n

To round a number to a given number $n$ of decimal places, we look at the $n$th digit after the decimal point.

\n

We have $\\var{c1}$.

\n

i)

\n

We look at the first digit after the decimal point. This is $\\var{cdig[4]}$ and the following digit is $\\var{cdig[3]}$ so we round updown to get $\\var{precround(c1, 1)}$.

\n

ii)

\n

The second digit after the decimal point is $\\var{cdig[3]}$. It is followed by $\\var{cdig[2]}$ so we round updown to get $\\var{precround(c1, 2)}$.

\n

iii)

\n

The 3rd decimal place is $\\var{cdig[2]}$, followed by $\\var{cdig[1]}$. We get $\\var{precround(c1, 3)}$. The 4th decimal place is $\\var{cdig[1]}$, followed by $\\var{cdig[0]}$. We get $\\var{precround(c1, 4)}$.

When you're asked to round your answer to a number of significant figures, you need to decide whether to keep the last digit same (rounding down) or increase it by 1 (rounding up). If the following digit is less than 5 we round down and we round up when the next digit is 5 or more.

It is important to keep in mind that if the digit we are increasing is 9, it becomes zero and we increase the previous digit instead. If this digit is 9 as well, we move along to the left side until we find a digit less than 9.

\n

The last digit we need to keep will depend on how many zeros there are.  We don't consider leading zeros to be significant,
i.e. 0.03 and 0.3 both have 1 significant figure (but 0.30 has two significant figures, since the second zero isn't a 'leading' zero).

\n

i)

\n

We round $\\var{d1}$ to 1 significant figure. The first non-zero digit is $\\var{ddig[5]}$. The following digit is $\\var{ddig[4]}$ so we round updown to get $\\var{dpformat(siground(d1, 1), 0)}$.

\n

ii)

\n

We round $\\var{d1}$ to {sf} significant figures. The first non-zero digit is $\\var{ddig[5]}$. The second following digit is $\\var{ddig[4]}$, the third following digit is $\\var{ddig[3]}$ and the fourth following digit is $\\var{ddig[2]}$. The digit following the last digit we are keeping is  $\\var{ddig[3]}$$\\var{ddig[2]}$$\\var{ddig[1]}$, so we round to get $\\var{sigformat(d1, sf)}$. These are our {sf} significant figures.

We need to find the original price paid by {name2}. This value represents 100%.

\n

By the time {name1} bought the {item}, the price had decreased by {percentage}%.

\n

{name1} therefore paid {100-percentage}% of the price {name2} paid.

\n

\n

We use the unitary method to find the original price. We know the price paid by {name1}.

\n

\\[\\var{100-percentage}\\text{%} = \\var{newprice} \\text{.}\\]

\n

Divide both sides by {100-percentage} to get

\n

\\[\\begin{align} 1\\text{%} &= \\var{newprice} \\div \\var{100-percentage} \\\\&= \\var{newprice/(100-percentage)} \\text{.} \\end{align}\\]

\n

To multiply $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{a_coprime}}{\\var{c_coprime}}\\times\\frac{\\var{b_coprime}}{\\var{d_coprime}}$, address the numerators and denominators separately.

\n

Multiply the numerators across both fractions.

\n

$\\var{a_coprime}\\times\\var{b_coprime}=\\var{ab}$,

\n

and then multiply the denominators across both fractions.

\n

$\\var{c_coprime}\\times\\var{d_coprime}=\\var{cd}$.

\n

The values of the multiplied numerators and denominators will be the numerator and denominator of the new fraction: $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{ab}}{\\var{cd}}$.

\n

This answer may need simplifying down, and to do this, find the greatest common divisor in both the numerator and denominator and divide by this number.

\n

The greatest common divisor of $\\var{ab}$ and $\\var{cd}$ is $\\var{gcd}$.

\n

By using $\\var{gcd}$ to cancel down the fraction, the final answer is $\\displaystyle\\simplify{{ab}/{cd}}$.

When faced with dividing fractions, it much easier to switch one of the fractions around and multiply them together instead of divide them.

\n

\\[ \\left( \\frac{\\var{f_coprime}}{\\var{g_coprime}}\\div\\frac{\\var{h_coprime}}{\\var{j_coprime}} \\right) \\equiv \\left( \\frac{\\var{f_coprime}}{\\var{g_coprime}}\\times\\frac{\\var{j_coprime}}{\\var{h_coprime}} \\right) = \\frac{\\var{fj}}{\\var{gh}} \\]

\n

Then, simplify by finding the highest common divisor in the numerator and denominator which in this case is $\\var{gcd1}$. 

\n

This gives a final answer of $\\displaystyle\\simplify{{fj}/{gh}}$.

This question tests the student's ability to identify equivalent fractions through spotting a fraction which is not equivalent amongst a list of otherwise equivalent fractions. It also tests the students ability to convert mixed numbers into their equivalent improper fractions. It then does the reverse and tests their ability to convert an improper fraction into an equivalent mixed number.

A mixed number is a number consisting of an integer and a proper fraction, i.e. a number in the form $ a \\displaystyle \\frac{b}{c}$ where $a$ is an integer and $\\displaystyle\\frac{b}{c}$ is a proper fraction: $b$ is smaller than $c$.

\n

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator, i.e. a number of the form $\\displaystyle\\frac{d}{e}$ where the numerator, $d$, is greater than the denominator, $e$.

\n

To convert an improper fraction into a mixed number, find out how many times the denominator \\var{h_coprime/gcdb} goes into the numerator \\var{num/gcdb}. You can do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator and taking the whole number part or you can just add the denominator to itself until one more addition would make it bigger. This gives us a whole number part of our mixed fraction of \\var{f}.

\n

The numerator of our mixed fraction is what is left from dividing out the whole number. For this question that is $\\var{num/gcdb}-\\var{f*h_coprime}.

\n

Finally the denominator of our mixed fraction is just the denominator of the improper fraction.

\n

\\[
\\frac{\\var{num/gcdb}}{\\var{h_coprime/gcdb}} = {\\var{f}\\frac{\\var{g_coprime}}{\\var{h_coprime}}}\\text{.}

To find which is bigger of $\\frac{\\var{top1}}{\\var{bot1}}$ and $\\frac{\\var{top2}}{\\var{bot2}}$ we need them to have the same denominator. A way to do this is to multiply the top and bottom of $\\frac{\\var{top1}}{\\var{bot1}}$ by $\\var{bot2}$ and multiply the top and bottom of $\\frac{\\var{top2}}{\\var{bot2}}$ by {bot1}. This doesn't change the the value of the fractions as this is just like multiplying by one.

\\[\\frac{\\var{top1}}{\\var{bot1}}=\\frac{\\var{top1*bot2}}{\\var{bot1*bot2}},\\quad \\frac{\\var{top2}}{\\var{bot2}}=\\frac{\\var{top2*bot1}}{\\var{bot1*bot2}}\\]

\n

Now we can easily see which is bigger by comparing the numerator.

Expand the expression below by multiplying each of the terms inside the brackets by the term outside. Give the answer in its simplest form.

", "advice": "

Expand brackets using the general formula $\\displaystyle a(x+c)=ax+ac$. This means we multiply each term inside the brackets by the term outside the brackets.

\n

It is easy to forget that the sign outside the brackets also needs to be involved in the multiplication so remember that when two of the same sign are multiplied, the resultant term is positive and when opposite signs are multiplied, the result is negative.

In order to find the highest common factor of two single term algebraic expressions you can first find the highest common factor of the coefficients.

\n

\n

In this case the Highest common factor of $\\var{c[0]}$ and $\\var{c[1]}$ is $\\var{cans}$.

\n

Then work through each of the variables (letters) in turn and see what powers of each appear. In the first expression there is $x^\\var{xp[0]}$ and the second expression there is $x^\\var{xp[1]}$. So they both have at least $x^\\var{xpans}$ in them. Similarly, the first expression there is $y^\\var{yp[0]}$ and the second expression there is $y^\\var{yp[1]}$. So they both have at least $y^\\var{ypans}$ in them.

\n

Hence, the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of the two expressions is:

\n

To solve an equation like

\n

$\\displaystyle{\\frac{x+\\var{num1}}{\\var{num2}}+\\frac{x}{\\var{num3}}=\\var{num4}},$

\n

the first thing to deal with is the denominators of the fractions. In order to do that you multiply both sides of the equation by both denominators $\\var{num2}$ and $\\var{num3}$ (or their lowest common multiple to be slightly more efficient). This will give something equivalent to:

\n

$\\displaystyle{\\var{num3 + num2} x+\\var{num3*num1} = \\var{num2*num3*num4}.}$

\n

Then proceeding by subtracting $\\var{num3*num1} from both sides:

\n

$\\displaystyle{\\var{num3 + num2} x = \\var{num2*num3*num4-num3*num1}.}$

\n

And finally dividing by $\\var{num2+num3}$:

\n

$\\displaystyle{x = \\frac{\\var{num2*num3*num4-num3*num1}}{\\var{num2+num3}}.}$

the first thing to deal with is that the unknown ($y$) that you are trying to find is in the denominator (on the bottom) of the fractions. In order to do that you first times by $y$ on both sides and $(y+\\var{c})$ on both sides leading to

\n

\\[\\var{a}(y+\\var{c}) = \\var{b}y.\\]

\n

From here, multiply out the brackets,

\n

\\[\\var{a}y +\\var{a*c} = \\var{b}y.\\]

\n

 Now collect the $y$-terms on one side and the numbers on the other,

\n

\\[\\var{a-b}y=\\var{-a*c}.\\]

\n

Finally divide by the coefficient of $y$,

\n

\\[y=\\frac{\\var{-a*c}}{\\var{a-b}}.\\]

Quadratic equations of the form

\\[x^2+bx+c=0\\]

\n

can be factorised to create an equation of the form

When we expand a factorised quadratic expression we obtain

\n

\\[(x+m)(x+n)=x^2+(m+n)x+(m \\times n)\\text{.}\\]

To factorise an equation of the form $x^2+bx+c$, we need to find two numbers which add together to make $b$, and multiply together to make $c$.

We need to find two values that add together to make $\\var{v3+v4}$ and multiply together to make $\\var{v3*v4}$.

So we must find two numbers which add together to make $\\var{a*d+b*c}$, and multiply together to make $\\var{b*d}$.

\n

Therefore $b$ and $d$ must satisfy

\n

\\begin{align}
b \\times d &=\\var{b*d}\\\\
\\simplify{{a}d+{c}b} &= \\var{a*d+b*c}\\text{.}
\\end{align}

\n

$b = \\var{b}$ and $d = \\var{d}$ satisfy these equations:

\n

\\begin{align}
\\var{b} \\times \\var{d} &=\\var{b*d}\\\\
\\simplify[]{ {a}*{d} + {b}*{c} } &= \\var{a*d+b*c}
\\end{align}

\n

So the factorised form of the equation is 

\n

\\[ \\simplify{({a}x+{b})({c}x+{d}) = 0} \\text{.}\\]

\n

$\\simplify{({a}x+{b})({c}x+{d}) = 0}$ when either $\\var{a}x+\\var{b} = 0$ or $\\var{c}x+ \\var{d} = 0$.

\n

So the roots of the equation are $\\var[fractionnumbers]{-b/a}$ and $\\var[fractionnumbers]{-d/c}$.

For a triangular prism, we first need to find the area of one of the faces then multiply this area by the depth of the prism.
In this example the easiest way to calculate the volume is to take the area of the triangular face first with $\\mathrm{base} = \\var{w6}m$ and $\\mathrm{height} = \\var{h6}m\\thinspace$.

\n

Now that we have the area of the triangular face ($\\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\triangle}$) we can multiply this by the $\\mathrm{depth} = \\var{d6}m\\thinspace$.

For a cylinder, we first need to find the area of the circular face then multiply this area by the depth of the cylinder.
In this example the radius of the circular face is $\\mathrm{radius} = \\var{r7}m$ which can be used to calculate the area of the circular face.

\n

\\begin{align}
\\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\bigcirc} &= \\pi \\times \\mathrm{radius}^2 \\\\
&= \\pi \\times \\var{r7}^2 \\\\
&= \\var{pi * (r7)^2}\\, \\mathrm{m}^2 \\,.

Now that we have the area of the circular face ($\\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\bigcirc}$) we can multiply this by the $\\mathrm{depth} =\\var{w7}m\\thinspace$.

\\mathrm{Volume} &= \\mathrm{Area\\thinspace_\\bigcirc} \\times \\mathrm{depth} \\\\

The labels of $a$, $b$ and $c$ can be misleading. The critical thing is that regardless of the letters used in the diagram, the $a$ (side) and $A$ (angle) labels are applied to the angle given and it\\'s opposite side.

{app}
Find the gradient of the line.


", "advice": "

Firstly draw a right angled 'step' from left to right. This triangle can be anywhere, but it is more helpful for it to have corners on the vertices (whole number points) of the graph and it is easier to calculate with postive numbers.

\n

{app_advice}

\n

Before we start to calculate, notice that the line is {uod}, so the gradient will be {pon} and the line is {sos}, so the absolute value of the number will be {mol}.

Now find the coordinates of the places your triangle meets the line

\n

$(x_1,y_1)=(\\var{ax},\\var{ay})$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(\\var{bx},\\var{by})$

\n

We need to compare the 'rise on the y-axis' to the 'run across the x-axis', we can say that:

\n

$\\text{gradient} = \\frac{\\text{rise}}{\\text{run}}$

\n

This is equivalent to using the formula:

$  m = \\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $

\n

and substitute the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle:

$\\begin{split} &\\, m = \\frac{\\var{by} - \\var{ay}}{\\var{bx} - \\var{ax}} \\\\  
&\\, = \\frac{\\var{by-ay}}{\\var{bx-ax}} \\\\ 
&\\,  = \\var[fractionNumbers]{m} \\\\
\\end{split} $

Identifying measures of spread or location (average)

", "licence": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International"}, "statement": "

Match each of the following with what they measure.

", "advice": "

The mean is a measure of location or central tendancy. It is calcuated by summing all of the data values and dividing by the number of values.

\n

The median is a measure of location or central tendancy. It is the middle value of an ordered data set.

\n

The inter-quartile range is a measure of spread. The interquartile range is the difference between upper and lower quartiles.The lower quartile, or first quartile (Q1), is the value under which 25% of data points are found when they are arranged in increasing order. The upper quartile, or third quartile (Q3), is the value under which 75% of data points are found when arranged in increasing order. The inter-quartile range therefore gives us an idea of the middle 50% of the ordered data set.

\n

The standard deviation is a measure of spread. It measures the dispersion of a data set relative to its mean. 

\n

The variance is a measure spread because it is the square of the standard deviation.

\n

A p-value the probability that a particular statistical measure, such as the mean or standard deviation, of an assumed probability distribution will be greater than or equal to (or less than or equal to in some instances) observed results. A p-value is used to determine statistical significance, not measures of spread or location.

The graph shows that there is a positive correlation between a person's height and how long it takes them to walk to work.

\n

A postive correlation is a relationship between two variables where both variables move in the same diection.

\n

This tells us that as a person's height increases, the time it takes to walk to work increases.

part a)

\n

A probability is a fraction.  You can give your answer as a fraction, decimal or percentage as these are all equivalent.

The formula for probability is:

\n

\\[ P(A) = \\frac{\\text{number of possibilities for A}}{\\text{number of total possible outcomes}} \\]

\n

For this question the total possible outcomes are $\\var{srn}+\\var{sbn}+\\var{brn}+\\var{bbn} = \\var{total}$.

Therefore

\n

\\[ P(\\text{A large red token}) = \\frac{\\var{brn}}{\\var{total}} = \\var[fractionnumbers]{brn/total}\\]

\n

part b)

\n

For this question we need to know the total number of small tokens, i.e. $\\var{srn}+\\var{sbn} = \\var{srn+sbn}$.

Therefore

\n

\\[ P(\\text{A small token}) = \\frac{\\var{srn+sbn}}{\\var{total}} = \\var[fractionnumbers]{(srn+sbn)/total}\\]
