It doesn’t take into account the fact that if they score in bothhalves, and both events happen, they have still scored ‘at ;east one goal’.You might also be tempted by C, but this answer option does not consider the fact that hecould score in both halves.Question 7 - CThis question combines this rule and the repeat of same events rule:Probability of England Winning and Giroud Scoring At Least OnceFirst work out the probability of Giroud scoring at least once:First work out the probability of Giroud scoring at least once:= 1 - probability of him not scoring in any match= 1 - (4/5 x 4/5 x 4/5)= 1 - 64/125= 61/125••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Page 112 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••UKCAT BMAT www.medicmind.co.uk Interview UCAS

Answers and Explanations Tutorial ScenariosQuestion 10 - C and DLet’s go through each statement:a) No. He has the equally smallest dot, and the lowest score for both Maths and English. It is likely that Troopinder’s is the hardest to diagnose.b) No. This graph shows their performance on English, Maths and an IQ test. While there may be a correlation with these three and attendance, there is nothing from the information given to suggest this. Remember do not use external knowledge and do not make any assumptions that do not have any underlying evidence.c) Yes. This is a potential explanation for the results seen on the graph. The key word in this statement is the word ‘plausible’. If it did not contain the phrase “it is plausible” then it is likely that the answer to this question would have been no. Mohammed has an overall higher an IQ but does more poorly on both English and Maths exams. It could be that there are other reasons why the pattern was seen. Linking back to what we learnt in Verbal Reasoning, the statement is quite mild so more likely to be true.d) Yes. This could be true as Troopinder’s scores on the Maths exam was much higher than it was on the English one. Another key word here is potential - the statement does not outright say that he will do better in a Mathematically orientated career, as of course there are several factors that could contribute to the success.e) No. While it can be said that Robbie is better than Mohammed at English since he performed better on the maths test, he may be weaker in certain aspects than Mohammed is. The answer therefore is no.Question 11 - DD is the correct answer…Science14 + 15 + 19 = 48%0.49 x 1300 = 624 (to save time you could estimate it to be 0.5 x 1300 = 650)Mathematics15 + 14 + 10 = 39%••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Page 114 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••UKCAT BMAT www.medicmind.co.uk Interview UCAS

It could just be 1300visitors were surveyed for the Science Museum and 1050 surveyed for the MathematicsMuseum, not the total number of visitors.C - is not necessarily true, as this could mean that some of the visitors that stayed formuch longer or much less time are eliminated and therefore could skew the results.Question 12 - A and CLet’s go through each statement:a) Yes, this is correct:A quick method to see this would be to look at the gap between the largest value ofManchester and the lowest value of Manchester and compare this gap with the gap forthe corresponding values for Bristol.

Question 13 - C and ELet’s go through each statement:a) No. We cannot tell anything about the entire UK population. We only know from a small sample size. This is a Passage Adjustment, as we saw in Verbal Reasoning. b) No. We cannot know this for sure unless we sample them. Do not make unnecessary assumptions. This is Extreme Language, as we saw in Verbal Reasoning.c) Yes, this is correct:Labour 50 + 95 = 145Conservative 70 + 60 = 130d) No. We can tell from a distance that the largest discrepancies came between 18-25 year olds, or from 46+ year olds. Here, a good method to use would be percentages. 18-25 (55 - 20) / 55 = 64%46+ (95 - 60) / 95 = 37%This means that the 18-25 difference was the largest. e) Yes, this is correct: Labour 20 + 30 + 50 + 95 = 195Conservative 55 + 25 + 70 + 60 = 210 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Page 116 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• UKCAT BMAT www.medicmind.co.uk Interview UCAS

Answers and Explanations Tutorial Scenariose) No. There is no evidence to suggest this is the case. The milkshake sales could be due to a large array of factors.Question 15 - ARemember, not all the information they present will be important. We need to work outwhat is represented by the monkey bars.Looking at the box from afar, we see that three shapes are very close to each other, andtwo shapes are in the opposite corners. When corroborating with the text, we see why it isuseful to look at the box from afar.It is likely that the triangle, semi circle and pentagon all relate to the phrase:“The slide is almost equidistant from the see-saw and roundabout”.This must mean that the semi-circle represents the slide. We know that the triangle andpentagon could both be either see-saw or roundabout.To help us work out which one is which we can use:“The roundabout is not allocated to the triangle”.This means that the roundabout is therefore related to the pentagon, and the see-saw isrelated to the triangle. We now know the middle three shapes. We are left with bench andmonkey bars.We know that “the monkey bars are not allocated to the heart”. This means that themonkey bars must be the trapezium shape, so the answer is A, trapezium.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Page 118 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••UKCAT BMAT www.medicmind.co.uk Interview UCAS

Answers and Explanations Tutorial ScenariosQuestion 16 - A, B and CLet’s go through each statement:a) Yes. We know that there are some cape wearing superheroes who do not know how to get from one place to another, and from this we can infer that there are some that do know how to get one place from another and also wear capes. All cape wearing superheroes are fast meaning the answer to this is Yes.b) Yes. Same reasoning as above, we know that all superheroes that are fast wear capes, and that there must be some superheroes that do know how to get from one place to another. c) Yes. We know that some cape wearing super heroes cannot get from one place to another. Cape wearing superheroes = fast flyers. This means that some fast flying superheroes do not know how to get from one place to another. The answer is therefore yes. d) No. We do not know anything about superheroes that do know how to get from one place to another.Question 17 - CC is the correct answer…Normal Edition61 x 8.99 = £548.39 (Could estimate by doing 60 x 10 = £600)Deluxe Edition27 x 13.99 = £377.73 (Could estimate by doing 30 x 14 = £420)Knocking out A…36 + 41 + 61 = 13829 + 25 + 27 = 81Knocking out B…Magazine 1 36 + 29 = 65••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Page 119 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••UKCAT BMAT www.medicmind.co.uk Interview UCAS

Break down each part of the statement and we learn that itis about:Should abortion be legal to help cases of women being raped and having a child theynever planned for ?• A does not address all aspects of this. it only addresses the abortion aspect.• C only addresses the rape aspect.• D only addresses the abortion aspect.This means that the answer is B. Not all questions will be as straightforward as this, but itis clear to see that 3 of the 4 options were ruled out just by looking at whether theyaddressed all aspects of the question.Question 19 - CThis is slightly harder, as all of them are potentially viable arguments for having the right tobear a gun. All of them address the aspect of bearing a gun for protection in some form,however the extent to which they relate to the argument is questionable.• A is based on a small area of the UK, and there is no basis to support the argument that every single citizen could benefit.

Remember, even if the statement makes sense in a debate, it needs to address all issues of the topic.• B does consider how a cap will affect small businesses, but the logic of the statement does not make sense. It does not explain why having the same turnover will not support small business, but beyond that the logic that all businesses will have the same turnover is flawed as it is a maximum cap that many businesses may not reach.• A is the correct answer because it explains why a cap will help equalise the levels of investment small and big firms have.Question 13 - C and Ea) No. There is no information on whether Sam wants a chicken burger.b) No. They may order something else apart from a burger of fries, such as a milkshake.c) Yes.

We know that there is one main title,and under that title there are two subtitles. Within each of the two subtitles there are twosets as well.There are likely to be 7 regions in total.• A is incorrect because it only has 6 regions, ignoring the fact that all the other categories come inside animals.• B is incorrect because it only has 5 regions, and in general does not represent the information accurately.• C is correct because it has 7 regions, and fixes the issue we had with A by having an all encompassing circle to represent animals.Question 15 - AStep 1: Write down the probabilities involvedLet’s first write down the probabilities involved:3 types of ribbon - 1/3 chance of getting R, B or G3 types of balls - 1/3 chance of getting R, B or GStep 2: Work out all possible combinations to get two repeat colours••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Page 136 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••UKCAT BMAT www.medicmind.co.uk Interview UCAS

Let b denote bag and r denote ribbon.RbRr | BbBrRbRr | GbGrBbBr | RbRrBbBr | GbGrGbGr | RbRrGbGr | BbBrThis means that there are 6 possible occasions where this could occur.Step 3: Work out the probability of one of these combinations happening.Let us work out the probability of one of those occurring - Red Ball and Red Ribbonfollowed by Blue Ball and Blue Ribbon.P(Rb) = 1/3P(Rr) = 1/3P(RbRr) = 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9P(Bb) = 1/2 (there are now two balls remember)P(Br) = 1/3 (unlike the balls, the ribbons are replaced)P(BbBr) = 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6P(RbRr | BbBr) = 1/9 x 1/6 = 1/54Step 4: Work out the probability of all six of these combinations happening and hence thefinal answer.The probability of all six combinations above is equal.

However, looking at the Venn diagram you can clearly see that there could be towers that are not necessarily buildings but do overlap with landmarks. We cannot therefore deduce for sure that some buildings are landmarks.B. No. All buildings are towers, but we do not know if all towers are buildings.C. Yes. We know that some towers are landmarks, so therefore some landmarks are towers.D. Yes. This is in true. If all buildings are towers, some towers will be buildings.Question 4 - D• A is a valid reason but does not have any mention of the cultural understanding of other countries.• B makes an assumption that people will come back and be better people, however there is no evidence to support this assumption. Also there is no reference to cultural understanding.• C also does not relate to cultural understanding.• D supports the argument against, and addresses the cultural understanding issue. It is therefore the correct answer.Question 5 - A• Remember, the easiest way to answer these questions is to rule out the ones that do not answer the statement fully. D does not relate to an increase in applicants.• Next, look at statements which have assumptions based on a lack of evidence. B and C are two examples of these. We do not know for sure that there will be more doctors as there could still be the same number of places at medical school. We do not know that there will be incompetent doctors if a greater number of people are applying either.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Page 152 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••UKCAT BMAT www.medicmind.co.uk Interview UCAS
