Multiple choice was hard.
Short answer was medium... but I think that's only cause I was so put off from the multiple choice.
Essay's were good questions.. all of them

I FORGOT MY CALCULATOR!!!!!! Had to do everything in my head.. far out that cost me a band 6.. which I would've got too... oh well...
HSC = OVER... good bye and good riddance!!!!

smart, just borrow one from the maths department, thats what someone did at my school in the physics.

what did you all put for the very first short answer about what contributed most to CPI?

housing noob

 

[DominicDimech]

i put food because housing had a CPI of 110 and weighting of 20 while food had a CPI of 120 and weighting of 15. or something like that

but still, if u do the maths, its housing

 

[DannyT]

everyone at my school had different answers...
please go through the maths. what's the relationship between weighting, CPI figures for each item and inflation? I actually have no idea.

 

[M@ster P]

lmao I put health or something, I'm pretty sure I am wrong

CPI = 150 weighting = 5

 

[timw7845]

lmao I put health or something, I'm pretty sure I am wrong

CPI = 150 weighting = 5

yeah i put that too...

i was tossing up between health and housing...

theres 1 mark i wont get

 

[DannyT]

damn so that's wrong haha...

 

[M@ster P]

lol i didnt know what i was thinking when i put health, oh well 1 mark gone....

I believe the answer to that question was housing most of my friends got that... indeed multi choice was hard but that was all i thought question 19 would be C as the labour force would stay the same because even thou those people are not activly seeking work they still would be classified as unemployed therefore unemployment would go up but the hidden unemployment point is correct ...... same tricky question

accordong to the person who posted his answers to mulitchoice i would have lost 8 marks ....... which is like holy s**t :burn::burn::burn:

 

[pinkkate1406]

LOl yeh 12.c is right i didnt know if a higher hdi was good or bad

um yeh 19 i had problems with, but the level of unemployment would be the same and the labour force would be smaller. Thus unemployment rate would be higher .

for instance 1/3 < 1/2

is u/e rate unemployed /labour force :S

i got real confused in the exam

now i had 12c too..but accoridng to the other thread this is wrong. we alll got tricked. bloody BOS
it is d because a because the nominal gdp calculation for year 2...the base yr number is 130...not 100!
dammit

I put C as well because the labour force wouldnt change because they are still aged between 16 and 65 and if you are actively seeking employment then you are technically classed as employed thus it was C as unemployment goes up because they are not actively seeking work and the labour force would not change. Well I hope that was C because that is what I should have put either way.

 

[megaman]

Oh and Im also fairly sure it was housing as you worked out the importance to CPI levels, I worked it out in a ratio type way and gave good results. Health was factored in too lightly thus I dont believe it was health.

 

[pinkkate1406]

i took a guess for that one. disregarding the cpi figure totally and just looking at their weightings hahaha
put housing anyways. so hopefully

u times the cpi thingo with the percentage weighting thing

i dnt think its in a textbook so i think mainly the mathematicians got it right

i got housing

what was non-discretionary and discretionary parts of that budget :S

not too bad
