Answers to Questions
Numerical answers may be slightly different from the ones you obtain due to differences
in calculating methods and equipment. However, a correct answer is one that approxi-
mates to the given answer. Answers that require the writing of notes are answered by
either an outline of the points that should be included in the answer or a reference to the
appropriate section(s) of the text. Where questions have more than one correct answer
