Maybe you can beat him to it. :) (What's with the replacement page?)

No, the sample space consists of all the actual outcomes themselves, not just the number of outcomes. e.g. The sample space for a normal six-sided die is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Both hornetfig and Skywalker are correct... :) If a course is taken by students who are, on the whole, below average, it will be easier for an average student (or even an above average student) to beat those students and obtain a high rank. The marks for the course are therefore scaled down...

Should we judge your current submission or refrain until you're done? You'll need to post up or write in again once it's completed.

If it's obvious that you have the right answer (as in your example), and the question hasn't specifically asked you to go further, you won't lose marks.

I doubt it would be easier to obtain a higher UAI (or equivalent), unless the students in that country were, on average, worse than the students here. I don't know how you'd establish that. University cut-offs would likely be different though - demand for different courses etc. If you wanted...

You're thinking of scaling, not moderating. The scaling for a course is determined by how well the students taking that course did in all the courses they took. Moderating is completely different (and is handled by the Board, not the UAC).

The 2001 - 2003 UAI results use a specific conversion formula that has been tailored for each year. Note that when all your results are from 2003, the "NSW UAI" score is the same as the "2003" score. However, when you mix results from different years, a generic aggregate-to-UAI conversion...

It does change every year. Typically, though, Hospitality has below-average scaling: http://www.boredofstudies.org/scaledmeans.php This doesn't mean your UAI has to be low. It's only two of your 10 units.

There are two types of 'raw' marks: raw examination marks and moderated assessment marks. Strictly speaking, this second one isn't a raw mark, because it's been moderated. But because the moderating process places assessment marks on the same scale as the raw examination marks, they can be...

There is some truth to the above - read this thread.

http://www.boredofstudies.org/scaledmeans.php Your school rank will influence your assessment mark, but the rank of your school does nothing.

The exam started around 9.30am - it's not clear that your posts were made during the exam. Sorry. ;)

It's definitely got a lot of potential. Rewards will be commensurate with effort and results. :)

Yep, that's right.

Even if your courses have similar scaling, they might have very different aligning. You can't just make this assumption. You need to estimate your aligned marks using the same methods as the HSC markers - specifically, the Board's standards packages. That's the process that would be followed...

That in itself is a pretty nice advantage. :)

Sure. Prizes etc will be adjusted if necessary.

Fixed. withoutaface: Try not to generate webpages using MS Word etc. :) They're nasty.
