Lauren Richards commented on Calculating Expected Values given a table of probabilities 8 years, 5 months ago

  • I think the question statement should just be right at the start of the advice. 
  • I actually think the two parts should be completely separate questions. There are definitely enough individual questions in part b) to make it a good lengthy question with i), ii) and iii) as individual parts that can be marked separately. You can relatively easily add in another question part for part a) to lengthen it if you wanted to. Maybe something about age ratings or something. 
  • b)ii) I would programme in a fraction with gap fills so they can answer it like that rather than getting them to do a fraction with no fraction sign and no instruction to do it like a/b. 
  • I think this is a great question, and I can't find very much wrong with it at all, well done Elliott!

Thanks for the feedback Chris, i've reworded the statements a bit hopefully they will be clearer now.

Thank you, I've reworded the question how you suggested. You were right about the fact that buying a fridge impulsively is a bit silly and unrealistic haha so I removed it now.
