Applied the variance formula well and was able to solve more complicated problems involving it.
Applied the variance formula well and was able to solve more complicated problems involving it.
Could use some improvement regarding understanding of cumulative distribution functions and of how probability relates to integrals of probability density functions.
Understood the link between pdfs and cdfs, algebra and integration skills helped make these problems doable.

Still lacks a complete working understanding of the link between the probabilities of distributions and pdfs/cdfs. Had some confusion with the domains, particularly when given no upper or lower bound (i.e. involving integrating to infinity).

Found the trigonometry part that revolved around geometrical problems quite straightforward. After some quick recapping understood how integrals relate to signed area and total area and the difference between them.
Showed some confusion when solving trigonometric equations, and despite doing pdf problems well was still unsure of how to handle unbounded domains.
Showed good problem solving, particularly in areas where he wasn't immediately sure what to do used logic to deduce conclusions. Utilised formulas quite well ...
Showed good problem solving, particularly in areas where he wasn't immediately sure what to do used logic to deduce conclusions. Utilised formulas quite well (although sometimes mixed up [E(X)]^2 with E(X^2) when calculating variance)
Still slightly uncomfortable with unbounded domains, needed guidance on manipulating probabilities to use cdfs to find them. Forgotten some things about the normal distribution.
