/Sigh, I suppose I walked into 2U and 3U math in year 11 knowing it would be the 3 units not counted to my ATAR, but it's still depressing... judging by the solutions posted up, and applying the harshest marking scheme, I reckon I'm looking at 80/120.
How did everyone go?
I, personally, found it very difficult compared with every other exam I've had for this subject - almost all of which were exams made entirely of past HSC questions. I found that the comprehension required a lot of guesswork just to answer the questions due to my lack of...

Re: Not hard?

Also, in Section III, dot point 1 I spoke about misleading advertising and creation of needs, for dot point 2 I spoke about providing discounts for early payment and introducing a credit limit per...
That works with the Monty Hall problem, but we're talking about independent events here; it doesn't matter what we already know, the chances that the other child is a boy is 1/2. The chances that any given child is a boy is ALWAYS 1/2.

Half. Child genders are independent events, like tossing a coin.
EDIT: If you wanted to do it mathematically...
P(boy boy) = P(1st is a boy) x P(2nd is a boy)
= 1/1 x 1/2
= 1/2
