If you did not submit Assignment 03 and received 70% for Assignment 01 and 80% for Assignment 02, with an exam mark of 48%, then which statement is true? (1) Your final mark will be below 50%, so you will not pass. (2) Your year's average of 75% will increase your final mark enough to pass. (3) Your year's average of 59% will raise your final mark to 50.75%, allowing you to pass. (4) Your year's average will not affect your final mark.

Let's calculate the final mark based on the information provided.

The weights for each assessment are not specified, so I'll assume equal weighting for simplicity:

  • Assignment 01: 70%
  • Assignment 02: 80%
  • Assignment 03: Unknown
  • Exam: 48%

Given that Assignment 03 has not been submitted, it means its weight is 0% in the overall calculation.

The average of the known assessments (Assignments 01 and 02) is: (70+80)/2=75

Now, let's compute the final mark considering these values:

If the overall weight of the assignments and exam are equal:

  • 75 (average) + 48(exam) = 123

The total obtained exceeds 100, which doesn't align with typical grading standards. Therefore, the calculation indicates that the weights of the assessments and exam might not be equal.

Without specific weightings for each component, it's challenging to accurately predict the final mark. However, assuming that the final mark is based on a typical 50-30-20-0 weighting (Assignments 01, 02, Exam, Assignment 03), with Assignment 03 carrying a weight of 0 because it wasn't submitted, the final mark calculation might be:

  • 70%×0.5 (Assignment 01) + 80%×0.3
  • 80%×0.3 (Assignment 02) + 48%×0.2
  • 48%×0.2 (Exam) = 35%+24%+9.6%=68.6%

Therefore, the most accurate statement among the options provided would be:

(4) Your year's average will not affect your final mark.

This assumes the standard weight distribution and the zero weight for the unsubmitted Assignment 03. However, the actual calculation might differ depending on the weightings allocated to each assessment component.
