November 2008 SAT Subject Test: Math Level 2

<p>Greater than zero.</p>

<p>Ok let me address 'I' of the boxplot problem. It said:</p>

<p>50% of the points in box A are greater than 50% of the points in part B" <- that is what 'I' said.<br>
I picked I and III. If you look at the boxplots, it does make sense--A had much higher values.</p>

<p>"what was the answer to the one with the t-shirts and the profit: was it <0 or >0
I remember it was smth like 10y-35-smth>0, right?"</p>

<p>^What was this question?</p>

<p>I remember another problem.</p>

<p>It was like y=f(x) with point (5,0). Then it asked about the inverse or something and asked you to find a point on the inverse or something. I think I got (-5,0) or (0,-5)....Wow I totally got this one wrong...</p>

<p>I think it was supposed to be (0,5)</p>

<p>^^ for that, I made up an equation, y = x - 5 which has a point (5, 0), and switched the x and y to get x = y - 5, and got (0, 5) to be a point.</p>

<p>can any1 remind me of what the polar eq. problem was about? I recall it only vaguely.</p>

<p>For the t-shirt profit question, how much was the cost of making the shirt, and how much did they sell it for?</p>

<p>For some reason a $35 base charge, $7.50 cost pet shirt and $10 sales price sticks in my mind. Donno if thats totally correct though.</p>

<p>Those values look right.</p>

<p>I knew everything and answered everything, I'm just scared to death I made a bunch of silly mistakes.</p>

<p>What if I omitted none and got five wrong? What would my score be? How about 6 or 7 wrong?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>That's in the 740-800 range.</p>

<p>is 7 skipped 0 wrong better than 0 skipped 7 wrong?</p>

<p>Yep. 7 wrong is 9 raw points off. It could be the difference between a 780 and an 800.</p>

<p>^...Obviously... Because that's a -9 instead of a -7</p>

<p>I'm worried. Maybe I should register for the December test..</p>

<p>what's a -13?</p>

<p>isn't that a 720ish?</p>

<p>Yup! That's about a 720. The curve's reeeallly nice!</p>

<p>hey so how many can i miss and still get 800?</p>

<p>@ Johnny.Lee - 5 wrong or 6 blank. </p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question with the factorials? </p>

<p>Was it n>=6?</p>

<p>yes that is correct</p>
