  5. John MoffatTutor
    I don't know which notes you are using, but they are explained in Chapter 21 of our free lecture notes.

  21. John MoffatTutor
    The answers appear when you click on 'review quiz'.
  22. Eric
    i had all correct and I am surprised. well done to myself
  23. Nyah
    Okay...
  24. LUCRISHA
    OH My l just all the questions wrong
  25. MAIMUNAH
    please explain the 5th one john
  26. John MoffatTutor
    Suppose the population is 60% women and 40% men, and that we want to question a
    sample of 200 total. Decide on a quota of 120 women (60%) and 80 men (40%) and then
    stop people as they appear until we have the required number of each.
  27. MAIMUNAH
    please explain the 5th one
  28. vivek
    in the 4th question, it shows quantitative cannot be measured. and it is false. I didn't mark it but it shows it is true.
    how is that possible
    you can measure quantitative aspects.
  29. John MoffatTutor
    The answer does not show it as true. The answer specifically states that it can be measured.
  30. Senadee
    can you please explain me about the "how the continuous data can take on any value?"
  31. Dev
    For the 4th question, continuous data can't be calculated for qualitative information
  32. John MoffatTutor
    But that is not relevant to the question as asked.
  33. Mannan
    Is "knowing each item in the population" important in random sampling?
  34. Mariama
    It was helpful ??thank you very much,but please if the answers would be shown after the test it will be nice *
  35. John MoffatTutor
    The answers are shown if you click on the 'review quiz' button after having submitted your answers!
  36. Mannan
    is "knowing each item in the population" also important in systematic sampling?
  37. John MoffatTutor
    No, because we would be selecting every n'th item regardless of what was the case in the population as a whole.
  38. Mannan
    Could you please explain what is population data and what is continuous data?
  39. John MoffatTutor
    The population is all the items in the particular category (out of which we take a sample).

    Continuous data is explained in the lectures on Measures of average and dispersion.
  40. vvian
    Could you explain what is the quantitative data?
  41. Esther
    Question 3

    How is the knowledge of each item of the population true of Stratified sampling ?
  42. John MoffatTutor
    You have to know what proportion of the population are in each group in order to know what proportion of each group to sample.
  43. vvian
    What is the mean of the “knowledge is in deeded of each item of population ” about stratified sampling.
  44. Damir
    Question 2. Why is not multistage sampling, although there is no such answer to choose?
  45. John MoffatTutor
    Because taking every 20th item is systematic sampling, not multistage sampling.

    See the explanation of both in our free lectures notes and the free lectures that go with the notes.
  46. Damir
    Now I noticed the tricky moment in the question, it starts just pocking 12th iteam, NOT each 12th iteam.
    Thank you for the help, sir
  47. John MoffatTutor
    You are welcome :-)
  48. Asif
    Good day sir,

    I am grateful for your services. God bless.

    I was performing the quiz for Ch2, and came across Quantitative and Qualitative data question. I dont think this was covered in your notes or lecture , or have I missed it ? Or is it you are just applying common sense questions ?

    Im using safari browser from Iphone. I find that after completing the quiz in Ch2, the finish button does not function. Just a feedback.

    Moving on,
    In the chapter (I think it was 3 or 4) where you calculated variable cost and the fixed cost within the video lecture, I did not find topics and questions such as the standard deviation and other such exercises being explained and solved, which I find in my local institute text book notes of the same chapter. The reason you have omitted all this - is it because you believe these questions won’t appear in the exams, or because you do not cover all the materials in your free course ? (Note: I just watched your lectures upto finding out variable and fixed costs so far and have only covered the first two chapters in terms of your published notes)

    Lastly, do you only provide a fixed 5 questions per chapter Quiz ? Or there are more of them ? Because I tried repeating the quiz, but the same questions just show up.

    To conclude, I would like to announce, I am grateful for your lectures - you explain complicated things and make them appear so logical and simple - it just sinks in ! Better than most paid tutors definitely. I have shared your platform with as many as I could within whatsapp, so everyone else could benefit as well.
  49. Asif
    I would like to add another note.

    After I downloaded the pg 9-10 within Chapter 2, they appear blank. So maybe the Quantitative question from the quiz belonged to those particular pages.
  50. Asif
    Sorry for the above repetition, some technical glitch.

    Also, apologies, I meant pg 9-10 of Chapter 1 missing.
  51. John MoffatTutor
    It is true that at the moment the software we use for the quizzes does not work for the finish button.

    The standard deviation, normal distribution etc. are covered in chapters 22 and 23 of our free lecture notes and the lectures that go with them. The lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    The quizzes are just meant as a quick check after each chapter. As stated throughout this website you need to buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers - they are full of exam standard questions for practice, and practice is vital to passing the exam.
  52. Asif
    ? Appreciated !
  53. John MoffatTutor
    Page 9 is not blank. Read what is written in italics at the bottom of the box !!!!

    Page 10 is deliberately blank because each new chapter starts on an even numbered page - just as it would in a book.
  54. John MoffatTutor
    Page 9 is not blank - read what is written at the bottom of the box on this page !!!

    Page 10 is deliberately blank. New chapters always start on even numbered pages as is standard practice.
  55. Asif
    Sorry about the first point, the mobile screen made me overlook that tiny sentence at the bottom. Next time I shall be more careful.

    As for the second point, that is new knowledge to me, thanks !!!
  56. Ashleigh
    I have just started with open tuition for ACCA MA exam. I have read the study notes and lecture for chapter 2 but did not come across any information on continuous data... Maybe I am missing something? Or it is mentioned later?
  57. John MoffatTutor
    It is explain in the later chapters on statistics (which is where it becomes relevant). The lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
  58. Ashleigh
    Thank you very much, that's great!
  59. John MoffatTutor
    You are welcome :-)
  60. Andy
    Sir I have a doubt. One of the questions read, "which of the following is true of Stratified sampling?"
    the correct answer is: knowledge is needed for each item of the population.
    Why so? i do not understand how this could be the answer.
  61. John MoffatTutor
    The population is split into groups in the way described in my free lectures. To be able to split into groups (and then select at random) you need to know which group each item falls in to.
  62. thiwanka
    Sir,

    Please conduct a lesson for Discrete and continuous data
  63. John MoffatTutor
    There is already a lesson on discretions and continuous data (chapter 22 of our free lecture notes and the free lectures that go with it) !!

    The free lectures cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
  64. Lokesh
    In question 4 ,
    Option three - the defination looks like for sampling i.e a group of people or objects investigated insted of whole population
    option 4 - Sir, you replied to ZhengGong that the continuous can have any value then the range is desided but in question its wrong
  65. Lokesh
    Looking for reply
  66. Zheng
    60%, good practice while i have 2 questions:

    1. Continuous data can take any values? I think Continuous data can take value within their range of definition.
    2. About Stratified Sampling, I think you do not need to have knowledge of every item, what you need indeed is the amount of each distinct value in the given population. (related to Question 3)

    Look for reply. Thanks a lot for the video and Quiz. There are awesome
  67. John MoffatTutor
    1. It is the other way round - continue data can have any value, and depending on the values we then decide on the ranges.

    2. The question does not specify what knowledge is needed - it is true that we need the value, but this itself is knowledge.

    Thanks for the comment :-)
  68. Zheng
    Thanks for your reply.

    I have a better understanding now.
  69. John MoffatTutor
    You are welcome :-)
  70. gernot
    1 answer good
  71. oladegam
    100%
  72. GWEN
    40% before even reading the notes. i guess after reading them i will understand better
  73. John MoffatTutor
    I assume you will be watching the free lectures as well?
    It is pointless to use the notes on their own because they are lecture notes and it is in the lectures that I work through the examples and explain and expand on the notes.

    If you are not watching the lectures for any reason then you need to buy a Study Text from one of the ACCA approved publishers and study from there.
  74. alicja1987
    Q2 on chapter 2 was tricky - I thought it is answer 'cluster sampling'
  75. John MoffatTutor
    No - it is systematic sampling. See the explanation on page 11 of our free lecture notes.
  76. hamed1200
    It is great to join OT to learn and develop. I would like to thank all the people who contribute to such a wonderful platform.
  77. charleskanya
    Hello everyone,

    I'd like to thank John Moffat for the video lectures. They are very helpful and easy to understand. Also the practice questions set the mood for CBEs
  78. John MoffatTutor
    Thank you for your comment :-)
  79. Joel
    4/5. Not bad. ?
  80. John MoffatTutor
    Not bad :-) (But do make sure you have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers because it is essential to practice lots and lots of questions).
  81. Dinuki
    100% :D
  82. visheen
    I got 100%. I'm surprised at myself. Thank you
  83. mufudzi
    80%
  84. christafar
    80%
  85. victory4evaa
    60%. GOOD practice
  86. John MoffatTutor
    Great :-)
    But do make sure you get a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers because they are full of exam standard questions and the more questions you practice the better!
  87. David
    Solid questions.
    Don't be disappointed with your marks, just keep working at it.
    Scored all.
  88. John MoffatTutor
    But do make sure that you have a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers - they have lots more exam standard questions for practice, and practice is vital to passing the exam :-)
  89. agbamoroo
    40%, very useful practice questions
