    Waivers

    First of all, keep your head up. I don't know many people who failed 200 last year. As for getting the waiver? I'm going to be truthful and tell you that there's no way in hell they'd allow it. Maybe if you got 47-49 with good marks in 272 or something like that. Unfortunately, they wouldn't...

    stat272 assignment help!

    Now that I see it I think they want you to use the central limit theorem (not the inverse CDF method) So: - add up a whole bunch of numbers from the table (say 20) - divide each number by 100,000 (I'm assuming that table is ~ U(0,100000) ) - The 20 numbers are now ~ U(0,1). Add them up and...

    stat272 assignment help!

    If you post the question I might be able to help. I think you're on the right track but it looks like you've calculated a two sided probability. You need to calculate a one sided probability since the CDF is P(X<=x).

    Anyone is studying ACST300

    Shauna's notes are great. Understandable and dare I say it, interesting. David Watson's notes on the other hand are crap ...

    stat272 past exams

    1. They only give out 2 past exams from memory 2. As said above, those exams will be useless !!! My advice: do as many exercises as you can.

    Acst151

    DO NOT BUY THESE BOOKS !!!! Have you guys been conned into buying the STAT171 Text off a devious 2nd year student? IMO, that book was useless.

    The 'What are these units like?' Thread- 2007

    STAT272 - Most people say the book sucks but I disagree. There are plenty of exercises which I think are needed since the tutes don't suffice. It also doubles over as the required book for STAT271. COMP115 - Can't comment but I didn't buy it and I didn't need it. ACCG253 - Compulsory. Tute...

    Indonesia seeks 20 yrs jail for Christian beheadings

    But beheading schoolgirls doesn't? When you see this it makes the intended executions of the Bali 9 members simply unacceptable. You can't compare ice and marijuana.

    Indonesia seeks 20 yrs jail for Christian beheadings

    http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/JAK339113.htm ... the same as Schapelle Corby. Goes to show what a crappy backwards country Indonesia really is.

    schapelle corby's friend

    I believe Corby was guilty, but her sentence was bullshit. This is the same country that lets Abu Bakir Bashir walk the streets spewing hate and encouraging terrorism. What kind of backwards country imposes a dramatically harsher sentence on someone smuggling a natural plant? Answer: the...

    The 'What are these units like?' Thread- 2007

    ACST200 Online quizzes: 10%. Final Exam: 90%!!! After completing ACST255 I realised that ACST200 was nowhere near as hard as I thought it was. Make sure you have practiced doing 17+ mark questions before entering the exam (obvious tip: do the past papers from an external website which Jim...

    Something interesting

    Can someone please enlighten me on this incident? I've been looking on the net but I can't find the reason the dictionary moved away. EDIt I found something: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20572470-12332,00.html Interesting stuff.

    The 'What are these units like?' Thread- 2007

    Anyone know anything about: ACST300 ACST356 ACST354 ACST357 ACST305 ACST355? ... even a short line or two would be cool. As a return or service does anyone want to know about first or second year ACST units?

    Actuarial Part II before Part I

    At Macquarie you can get exempted from Part II without getting all of your Part I exemptions. This is only due to the prerequisite structure of the course. However, there is a difference between getting exempted and actually receiving official accreditation. The Institute would never award...

    acst/app fin "Recommended Program"

    ACST305 used to require COMP115 but that's no more. I don't think you need to do a comp unit, but you should check the degree requirements in the handbook to be sure.

    crapcrap..

    Unless you want to go to another uni, you are not nearly as screwed as you think you are. Don't worry. And I wouldn't worry about job scarcity if you're doing an accounting degree. There are some comments about that particular degree here...

    Actuarial credit points (96) to complete double-degree

    It does, but if you want to get Part II plus all the subjects required for CPA/CA it would probably take you 4.5 years. Not really and I'll try to explain why, although this may not make much sense. Applied-Finance is very easy to get because the actuarial course contains a sh!tload of...

    Calculating GPA for transfers

    Macquarie's marking system means that a 7 point GPA system wouldn't make sense. At Mac (from my experience) the difference between a HD and D is a lot smaller than the difference between a D and a C.
