History

Advice for Part(b) does not always match the answers. Looks like {distance} needs replacing with {rounded_distance} = precround{distance,0} in part (b) and (c) advice

Saved a checkpoint:
Rejigged a lot of the advice, and added steps to part a to make it abundantly clear that you need to calculate bounds for both the speed and the time taken.
It would be nice if the time was sometimes definitely lower or higher than the record, but I've spent long enough on this question already.

Saved a checkpoint:
Used the random names extension, and split part b in two, so you can calculate the upper bounds before making the decision.
Needs some rewording to make it clear that the bounds come from the uncertainty in the average running speed.

I am satisfied with the question as it is right now, but maybe it is going to need a bit more work by someone else. This question is supposed to focus on multiplication and division of variables that have limits of accuracy and whether students understand how approximation and upper/lower bounds work. Maybe the conclusion in part b) needs a separate part or some other adjustment, it may feel a bit messy right now. The variables are constructed so the upper bound is always above the time asked in the question.

- I can't help but giggle a bit at the phrase "passionate jogger" as it is conjuring up images of a strange running style like Phoebe's from Friends who is definitely a "passionate jogger" haha. I think "keen runner" might be a little better.
- Part a) states Josh is off for a morning walk but the statement said he ran not walked!
- "Calculate upper and lower bounds to find an interval for all possible values of the distance run (????d), rounding to 2 decimal places:" should be in my opinion:
- "Calculate the upper and lower bounds of the distance (d) ran by Josh, rounding your answer to 2 decimal places."
- ADVICE
- You talk about the degree of accuracy but haven't stated what this is.
- I think the table in the advice is perhaps not in the best place. I think it is a little confusing too so I would perhaps just drop it altogether.
- I think you could condense the information about the distance and speed and the upper and lower bounds. You could just say:
"Speed = 9km/h.
Upper bound = 9+0.5 = 9.5km/h.
Lower bound = 9-0.5 = 8.5km/h" and then do the same for time. Then i think is the best time to mention that distance = speed x time.- You might want to mention why you are converting time into hours instead of minutes. You also are missing full stops so might want to add those in.
- In the advice, I don't think lb and ub for Lower and Upper bound is very clear.
- For part a), you also might want to mention what the lower and upper bound is in WORDS, eg. the lower bound for distance is the slowest speed multiplied by the shortest time. My brain personally would understand that illustration better than LB of speed x LB of time.
- State that you have rounded your answers to two decimal places in the advice.
- Same feedback for part b).
- Think there might be a glitch in the last statement of the advice. We were supposed to establish whether Josh ran in under 60 minutes but it said: "Therefore, we cannot confidently say his time was less than 2 minutes as the upper bound for time (67.06min) is above this threshold.".
- I really like this question, it tests lots of skills and has a good context!

For each combination of answer and choice, specify the number of marks to add or subtract when the student picks it.
For each combination of answer and choice, write 1 if the student should tick it, or 0 if they should leave it unticked.
Test that the marking algorithm works
Check that the marking algorithm works with different sets of variables and student answers using the interface below.
Create unit tests to save expected results and to document how the algorithm should work.
There's an error which means the marking algorithm can't run:
This is an extension type part. There is no expected answer, and it's assumed that the marking depends on interactions within the part's prompt.
You can test this part's marking algorithm by interacting with the rendering of the part's prompt below.

When you need to change the way this part works beyond the available options, you can write JavaScript code to be executed at the times described below.
To account for errors made by the student in earlier calculations, replace question variables with answers to earlier parts.
In order to create a variable replacement, you must define at least one variable and one other part.
| Variable | Answer to use | Must be answered? | |

The variable replacements you've chosen will cause the following variables to be regenerated each time the student submits an answer to this part:
These variables have some random elements, which means they're not guaranteed to have the same value each time the student submits an answer. You should define new variables to store the random elements, so that they remain the same each time this part is marked.
This part can't be reached by the student.
