One Question was from peatro Distribution which was not in iai sylabus...it was for 14 marks and in one question it was bar x= sum x M i wrong or really there was error in the paper.
was this in india? i took the indian paper, in singapore centre... but there was no such question.... different papers i suppose?
I have given paper in india....C B^4/(B+X)^4 Something like that i dont remb exctly but i have checked it is there in tables pareto distribution...still not convenced....but would be happy if some one will update me on this.....
It was given as an unknown distribution. The Q could be solved without prior knowledge of the Pareto distribution. Eg: the mean And variance could've been worked out from 1st principles
It does not matter whether the distribution is in the syllabus or not. What matters is that you can apply the concepts to situations which you haven't encountered in the past papers and the syllabus. As Jay said, the mean and variance can be found without any prior knowledge of the distribution using first principles. And regarding the sum where Xbar = Sum X was given, I guess it is a printing mistake. The paper has been uploaded on the IAI website already.
thanks for the respones... i do agree we can find the mean and variance which i have done it....but what about method of movements....and remaing part of the question....
I found the paper to be alright except a few areas ;like the distribution function for the compound distribution and the mse minimization question. Rest paper was fine. But yay due to lack of time I missed question 4, my bad ! How was yours?
i could do around 70-75 marks... couldnt finish the 14 marker pareto as it struck me 5 mins before time up.. btw what anova table did we have to make for the regression model? how much do u think u will score?
Frankly speaking I actually overlooked the ANOVA part in the regression question. I also could attempt for around 70-75 marks. Let's see what happens on the result day (fingers crossed) !
I have to be honest with you - I thought this was the nicest IAI CT3 paper that I have seen for a long while....
By when can we expect the solutions to IAI CT3 be uploaded on the IAI website? Also, how many of you feel that IAI CT3 pass marks would lie between 55-65 this time?
