 RSGC MDM4U 2012 Exam Outline.pdf
Exam outlined addenda:
1) Binomial Theorem will not be on this year's exam. Neither will Properties of Pascal's Triangle.
2) On the last section of the exam, you will answer one and only one question from the three presented.
One of the options will cover 6.6 (Matrixes and probabilities), another will cover 2.3 (Sampling Techniques) and 2.4 (Bias). These two sections will not be tested elsewhere in the exam.
The third question will be an extension of material covered elsewhere in the exam paper.
