marks Duration: 4 hours
EXAMINERS:
FIRST: PROF S NHAMO
SECOND: DR M ZUKA
EXTERNAL: DR L RAPUTSOANE
, CONFIDENTIAL
This paper consists of 11 pages, including a formulae sheet (page 8), three pages of statistical tables (pages
9 to 11), plus the special front page.
Instructions:
(1) This paper consists of two sections.
Section A: Answer all three (3) questions, which together count for 60 marks: (20 + 20
+ 20 ) = 60.
Section B: Answer any two (2) of the three (3) questions. Each question counts for 20
marks: (2 x 20) = 40.
(2) Once you have completed your answers, submit your answers as a single document in PDF
format using the e-Assessment tool on the myExams portal. It is preferable for you to
type your answers (font: Arial 12) and then convert your document to PDF for submission.
However, if this is not possible, you may also write your answers down and scan them to a
PDF file. Please write legibly.
(3) Start with a cover page stating the module code (ECS3706) and your student number.
(4) This should be followed by your answers to the questions.
(5) There is no need for a table of contents, an introduction, a conclusion or a list of references
(as was required in your assignments). Simply answer the questions asked.
(6) Ensure that each question and sub-question is clearly numbered.
(7) While you are not required to cite your sources, this does not mean that you can simply copy
information from any source. You need to answer the questions in your own words.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action if detected.
(8) Ensure that your PDF document is NOT encrypted to a “secured” mode and that it is NOT
password protected, as these files cannot be marked. Virus-infected files will also not be
marked.
SECTION A (60 marks)
Answer ALL three (3) questions in section A.
Section A requires brief and to- the- point answers.
In most cases simply list, or briefly explain, what is required.
It may be advantageous to use statistical notations (mathematical symbols) to explain concepts – but please ensure
that you also explain their meaning.
You do not need to re-explain concepts that have been previously dealt with. If required, you may simply refer to
your previous answer/s.
In general, each mark represents one correct fact or correct interpretation.
