Questions based on the Preliminary course can also be asked when they lead into questions based on the HSC course. Marks from these lead-in questions will not be counted in the 30% Preliminary allowance. General Mathematics Summary of Internal Assessment – Component Weighting Knowledge and Skills 50% Applications 50% 100% General Mathematics HSC Course Outcomes – A student: MG2H 1 uses mathematics and statistics to evaluate and construct arguments in a of familiar and – unfamiliar contexts MG2H 2 analyses representations of data in order to make inferences, predictions and conclusions – MG2H 3 Makes predictions about situations based on mathematical models, including those involving – cubic, hyperbolic and exponential functions MG2H 4 Analyses two-dimensional and three-dimensional models to solve practical problems, – including those involving spheres and non-right-angled triangles MG2H 5 Interprets the results of measurements and calculations and judgements about – reasonableness, including the degree of accuracy of measurements and calculations and the conversion to appropriate units MG2H 6 Makes informed decisions about financial situations, including annuities and loan – repayments MG2H 7 Answers questions requiring statistical processes, including the use of the normal – distribution, and the correlation of bivariate data MG2H 8 Solves problems involving counting techniques, multistage events and expectation – MG2H 9 Chooses and uses appropriate technology to locate and organize information from a range of – contexts MG2H 10 Uses mathematical argument and reasoning to evaluate conclusions drawn from other – sources, communicating a position clearly to others, and justifies a response
