\nWhen 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.
\nTo write it down in steps:
\nIt 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.
\nThe 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).
i)
\nWe round $\\var{e1}$ to 1 significant figure. The first non-zero digit is $\\var{edig[4]}$, followed by $\\var{edig[3]}$. This is lower than 5 so we round downmore than 5 so we round up to get $\\var{sigformat(e1,1)}$.
\nii)
\nWe round $\\var{e1}$ to {sf} significant figures. The first non-zero digit is $\\var{edig[4]}$. The second following digit is $\\var{edig[3]}$, the third following digit is $\\var{edig[2]}$ and the fourth following digit is $\\var{edig[1]}$. The digit following the last digit we are keeping is $\\var{edig[2]}$$\\var{edig[1]}$$\\var{edig[0]}$, so we round to get $\\var{sigformat(e1, sf)}$. These are our {sf} significant figures.

", "advice": "$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{a_coprime}}{\\var{b_coprime}}+\\frac{\\var{c_coprime}}{\\var{d_coprime}}$
\nTo add or subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator on both fractions.
\nTo get a common denominator, we need to find the lowest common multiple of the two denominators.
\nThe lowest common multiple of $\\var{b_coprime}$ and $\\var{d_coprime}$ is $\\var{lcm}.$
\nThis will be the new denominator, and we need to multiply each fraction individually to ensure we get this denominator.
\nFor $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{a_coprime}}{\\var{b_coprime}}$, we need to multiply the fraction by $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{lcm_b}}{\\var{lcm_b}}$ to give $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{alcm_b}}{\\var{lcm}}.$
\nFor $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{c_coprime}}{\\var{d_coprime}}$, we need to multiply the fraction by $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{lcm_d}}{\\var{lcm_d}}$ to give $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{clcm_d}}{\\var{lcm}}.$
\nNow that we have each fraction in terms of a common denominator, we can now add the fractions together.
\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{alcm_b}}{\\var{lcm}}+\\frac{\\var{clcm_d}}{\\var{lcm}}=\\frac{(\\var{alcm_b}+\\var{clcm_d})}{\\var{lcm}}=\\frac{\\var{alcmclcm}}{\\var{lcm}}.$
\nFrom this, we can try to simplify the result down by finding the greatest common divisor of the numerator and denominator and dividing the whole fraction by this amount.
\nThe greatest common divisor of $\\var{alcmclcm}$ and $\\var{lcm}$ is $\\var{gcd}.$
\nSimplifying using this value gives a final answer of $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{num}}{\\var{denom}}.$
\nTherefore, the expression cannot be simplified further, and $\\displaystyle\\frac{\\var{num}}{\\var{denom}}$ is the final answer.

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.
", "licence": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International"}, "statement": "", "advice": "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 $c$.
\nAn 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, $e$.
\nTo 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}.
\nThe 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}.
\nFinally 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{.}

It is impossible to split 0 and 1 movies downloaded into 0.5.The number of cinema tickets sold will always be a whole number. There is no middle measurement between 1 and 2 tickets sold. You simply cannot buy half of a ticket. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.
\nHeight is a continuous variable. For example, 180.3cm and 180.4cm have a valid midpoint 180.35cm.Weight is a continuous variable. For example, 54.5kg and 54.6kg have a valid midpoint 54.55kg.Time is a continuous variable. For example, 54.2s and 54.3s have a valid midpoint 54.25s.Temperature is a continuous variable, it can take any value between -273.15°C (absolute zero) and positive infinity. For example, 25°C and 26°C have a valid midpoint 25.5°C. Hence, this data is continuous.
\nWhen we round continuous variables to the nearest integer, this data becomes discrete, as there are no valid middle measurements between the integers. Therefore, the weight of a dog to the nearest kgthe height of Olympic medalists to the nearest cmthe time taken to run 10km to the nearest min is discrete and not continuous.
\nThe number of Stage 1 students will always be an integer. You cannot split one student into two, for example value 19.5 students does not make sense. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.The result of rolling 3 dice can take values of integers from 3 up to 18. For example, values 3 and 4 do not have any valid middle measurement. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.Shoe sizes are a discrete set of data. For example, sizes 39 and 40 mean something while the middle value 39.5 does not.The number of chocolate bars sold on Monday will always be an integer. There is no middle measurement between 1 and 2 bars sold. You cannot buy half of a bar of chocolate. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.The number of movies downloaded will always be an integer. You can either download a movie successfully or unsuccessfuly, so this is a discrete set of data. It is impossible to split 0 and 1 movies downloaded into 0.5.The number of cinema tickets sold will always be a whole number. There is no middle measurement between 1 and 2 tickets sold. You simply cannot buy half of a ticket. Therefore, this is a discrete set of data.

\n\\[ \\var{a_s[0]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[1]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[2]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[3]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[4]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[5]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[6]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[7]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[8]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[9]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[10]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[11]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[12]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[13]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[14]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[15]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[16]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[17]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[18]}, \\quad \\var{a_s[19]} \\]
\nThere is an even number of responses, so there are two numbers in the middle (10th and 11th place). To find the median, we need to find the mean of these two numbers $\\var{a_s[9]}$ and $\\var{a_s[10]}$:
\n\\begin{align}
\\frac{\\var{a_s[9]} + \\var{a_s[10]}}{2} &= \\frac{\\var{a_s[9] + a_s[10]}}{2} \\\\
&= \\var{median} \\text{.}
\\end{align}

\nThe 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.

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

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

\nFor this question we need to know the total number of small tokens, i.e. $\\var{srn}+\\var{sbn} = \\var{srn+sbn}$.
Therefore
\\[ P(\\text{A small token}) = \\frac{\\var{srn+sbn}}{\\var{total}} = \\var[fractionnumbers]{(srn+sbn)/total}\\]
