Question in Newcastle University Sports Science
Template question. The student is asked to perform a two factor ANOVA to test the null hypotheses that the measurement does not depend on each of the factors, and that there is no interaction between the factors.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Student is given a set of constraints for a linear program. Asked to enter the constraints as inequalities, and then to identify the optimal solution.
Problem with solving the simultaneous equations gven by the constraints - too unwieldy and not given enough marks for doing so. Best if the point of intersection is given graphically by putting the mouse over the intersection.

Question in Bill's workspace
Given a population size and data on a test for a condition on that population, use a tabular approach to find the increase in risk after a positive test in which there is a small chance of a false positive i.e. the probability that the test is positive even though the condition is not present. See Advice for a graphical version.

Question in Christian's workspace
Demo question: do some sneaky symbolic differentiation to check that the student's answer is the integral of the expression they're given.
Needs an advice section before it can be used.

Given random set of data (between 13 and 23 numbers all less than 100), find their stem-and-leaf plot.
This version of the question asks for 10 fields to be filled rather than the full 25, although the question statement asks for 25. I am sure that the first version asked for all 25. -
Question in Content created by Newcastle University
A plane goes through three given non-collinear points in 3-space. Find the Cartesian equation of the plane in the form $ax+by+cz=d$.
There is a problem in that this equation can be multiplied by a constant and be correct. Perhaps d can be given as this makes a,b and c unique and the method of the question will give the correct solution.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find the Cartesian form $ax+by+cz=d$ of the equation of the plane $\boldsymbol{r=r_0+\lambda a+\mu b}$.
The solution is not unique. The constant on right hand side could be given to ensure that the left hand side is unique.

When are vectors $\boldsymbol{v,\;w}$ orthogonal?
Part b) is not answered in Advice, the given solution is for a different question.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find angle between plane $\Pi_1$, given by three points, and the plane $\Pi_2$ given in Cartesian form.
The calculation of $cos(\alpha)$ at the end of Advice has fractionNumbers switched on and so the result is presented as a fraction, which can be misleading. Best if calculation is followed through without using fractionNumbers.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find minimum distance between a point and a line in 3-space. The line goes through a given point in the direction of a given vector.
The correct solution is given, however the accuracy of 0.001 is not enough as in some cases answers near to the correct solution are also marked as correct.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find the stationary points of the function: $f(x,y)=a x ^ 3 + b x ^ 2 y + c y ^ 2 x + dy$ by choosing from a list of points.
Inputting the values given into the partial derivatives to see if 0 is obtained is tedious! Could ask for the factorisation of equation 1 as the solution uses this. However there is a problem in asking for the input of the stationary points - order of input and also giving that there is two stationary points.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Cartesian form of the parametric representation of a surface, normal vector, and magnitude.
Accuracy for part c) should be made more stringent as can be marked correct for an incorrect answer. Use a different sample range rather than 0 to 1 would help as would setting accuracy to something less than 0.001.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Find the cosine of the angle between two pairs of 3D and 4D vectors.
The calculations and answers are correct, however the Advice should display the interim calculations of the lengths of vectors and their products to say 6dps. At present the student may be mislead into using 2dps at each stage - the instruction at the start of Advice is somewhat confusing.
