    As its easy enough i think.It can be done quicker then further calculus in my opinion and your grasp of probability doesnt have to be that great.They give out handy marks as well finding the mean and standard deviation.Covered further calculus as well so il have a choice on the day

    yeah exactly.Difference equation is handy marks too.Standard deviation can be tricky though .Part a's are dead handy

    question 9 is really good!

    So handy easy marks but if you dont manage to work out one of the parts it's all the marks gone

    Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you only get marked on one of the option questions if you attempt two?

    They mark the two of them and give u ur best mark.There always altering the marking scheme for the further calculus like giving 15 for the part a or c so people are doing badly in the question.Thats why im doing the two
