Just wondering, if you plan your answer in Trials / HSC by annotating the question, do the markers mark that? Can they mark you down if you’ve interpreted it incorrectly in your annotations?

uh dont think so, I don't even think they will bother looking at it because thats not what they're looking at your paper for. I know sometimes for essays, where they like it if a student has pre planned what they are gonna write about, but we wont get marks deducted if we don't do it.

I second this. My bio teacher is a HSC marker and she says that they mark whatever is on the page (eg like a punnet square on side, observations). Not sure if it the same for English - but they definitely won't take away marks for any wrongly annotated observations - so long as these are corrected in your response/not included.

Don't markers only award marks, they don't take away marks? my interpretation was that you were awarded marks for things you got right but not taken for what you got wrong.
yes, but you need to be sure not to contradict urself in ur reasoning for like science subjects such they can invalidate ur whole answer (according to my physics teacher)

Normal distribution = Follows the 95-68-99 rule

The numbers represents the proportion of the population that fits under the standard deviations. For example, If you start to check on the most average of the population, and you see that 68% of the whole population fits around that category, and then you check on a broader category, and found out that 95% of the population fits that category, and then 99.7% fits the even broader category, this is a typical example of a normal distribution. Here's a pretty good example of it. View attachment 43407

Sample proportion = The proportion of the sample that successes, or meets certain conditions.

For example, you have a sample population of 50 people. You want to test how many of them have diabetes. Your test results indicates that 10 of them have diabetes. The sample proportion will be 10/50=0.2
Thank you so much you are a beautiful person
