I forgot though that you had to approve me so I could post, so I wasnt able to post it on the wiki. I have my entry, hopefully it's not too late. I was going to try and find you at Swan -- poluz -- a? .. whatever, but I didn't see you. Anyways, here it is:</span><br /><br /></span> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">PROBABILITY - </span><span style="font-size:85%;">Use Pascal’s Triangle to find..</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />Use Pascal’s Triangle to find the number of ways to choose 3 shirts from 7 shirts.</span></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;">This can be solved in two different ways:<br /><br />First, Pascal. Since you have 7 shirts, go down to the 7<sup>th</sup> row. And because you have 3 shirts to choose from, go over three. You should get an answer of 35.<br /><br /></span><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" spt="75" preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"> </v:formulas> <v:path extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" connecttype="rect"> <o:lock ext="edit" aspectratio="t"> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" style="'width:310.5pt;"> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\Marsha\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image001.gif" title="pascal"> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha55W3VVx2UpUlNtjMQ3X1bkBeJ1Y8tDhh0zlasMtprPYnQ8JyZjNCi0xJ1qPkyKOLc3lBZh9tgTpRb99yM5puMNzu7IQbr4o5sfHBqSj-RTBTZl5YdElAOHGfEaGIO5Ry4xxzXfq-0tBc/s1600-h/pascal.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha55W3VVx2UpUlNtjMQ3X1bkBeJ1Y8tDhh0zlasMtprPYnQ8JyZjNCi0xJ1qPkyKOLc3lBZh9tgTpRb99yM5puMNzu7IQbr4o5sfHBqSj-RTBTZl5YdElAOHGfEaGIO5Ry4xxzXfq-0tBc/s320/pascal.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5078624358395897330" border="0" /></a><br /><br />You can also solve this on your calculator.<br /><br />For this question we must use n Cr on your Ti-83 Calculator. So, punch in a number seven (the number of shirts) and than press MATH than go over to PRB than use 3: nCr, press enter and than press the number three (3 shirts). Press enter and you should get 35.<br /><br />7 nCr 3 = 35 ways to choose three shirts from seven.</span></p> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Credit for image: http://mathforum.org/workshops/usi/pascal/patterns_pascal.html<br /><br />Have a great summer Mr. Max!! =)<br /></span></span>Marshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05003614732023070600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971711218634132800.post-44200344302197922852007-06-12T14:11:00.000-06:002007-06-12T14:25:10.108-06:00June 12th- Exam Review<span style="color:#ff6666;">We started the class by deciding that we were going to review sequences and series, and design and measurement , which are both on the exam for tomorrow.</span> <div><div><div><br /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075273668753908514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizXkGROSTW4b621lQ2d2w-TjQ21VVEanzzZ7UubGwUgEOEnFWna0PwPYQ6ii4bzDtzAbsFBP3OJk89qSG17pACvDNrJPBQBpCw7KBxx5FflP6St1XwpNWd1Uf9sC9pLDJhuotK-9tu8eE/s400/June12examreview4_1.gif" border="0" /></div><br /><p><span style="color:#00cccc;">For sequences and series 4 possible questions that may come up are on populations, fractals, drugs, and random questions..

And remember Mr.Max is having a study session tonight at 7 PM, if you want to go be there at 7 or else Mr.Max will go home. Dont forget to eat a good breakfast tmoorrow morning, and bring all of your supplies to the exam, and there is class tomorrow afternoon so show up!

Sections on well of what you learned like a section on vectors, personal finance, matrices..etc. It's better than studing everything at once this way you study a unit at a time so you don't get it mixed up with another unit.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Shalala;;http://www.blogger.com/profile/03376174796739400017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971711218634132800.post-55701819520103307042007-06-07T11:42:00.000-06:002007-06-07T11:58:07.929-06:00Math Exam ReviewHere is what we discussed in class for the matricies section on the exam...<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073381231511516242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1eRFOHh6LDWs_1gM_DndXwwBA68PA-U_ZfwkUCjFKhxuc1-2DjxHdB5L9UxL_GHXmUnI2e5XPWais-Y48TjIXgvFbkv7sH29EX6jus9NNlcv2wBk4OeVwNVzcbvc21RQpAtB8wnmCuFRJ/s400/examreviews4_1.gif" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073380939453740098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhecUMjAap44TP9M40L0kc9fGd8CvJsThjR9SC_Bx5SAbhLX5vG1POimwXSep6DpK-w509bayzTEgKy2d-spUaEGbJ58DOoXimelmPjaOE40wP45_ejfMg-RcbuhZX1fd7IBwFpIjAFLjW6/s400/examreviews4_2.gif" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073381613763605602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV_9w2Lfo2-p8aBpTAqSNdflEyhT1h-KD2ZqertAWjxwLxNUU5lPYhbEyHyYP8wyB9bFCzY1JGFUyViAfLuHN5XzHVwjj8ctmr2SEbsPzm7BKibH3XL1fzOksJdR5T6dE8NEZrYRBP_BYY/s400/examreviews4_3.gif" border="0" /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><br /></div> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073381957360989298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpThmxyctu_CnSEpfJfONTiTyYwlUYQcAvDKKuseHUQQUU2omQ2oVj54quLitsv60k4KlTgayaYGzY402Ry6TvUwPCwyjuozTSJ8ty9z1E-o26h-Oy6jeabZ27pXeRKV8iuM4aj5RyZx6Z/s400/examreviews4_4.gif" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073382249418765442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPOZanqYp-njsbq47mSDU3C7Mr7rW6O91mPxL9RzHBeW0ydGqRJ_2716fHezFA1GbBAMBzyS5icWzYeaATtd1_3PWEFCHAppsdOk3h4Q2bbiVYxbyYAInblH9ctCCT3d6HAdozGOXVDfR/s400/examreviews4_5.gif" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073382721865168018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ6d70QjJdJpx1PKbCNSuGiE_1T05DBYvhSFO_Jn0yTRY5NboheJ-mEZ1iFyMXZEpeUZw2njc-JuVkixgvaFZfCev_GdL1ZiUT0TH7dQs3Pquo7xgp6LoKzA55Hov9f-yaQc-p9jenI_w9/s400/examreviews4_6.gif" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Britthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12437968090892642692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971711218634132800.post-78844672542283809092007-06-05T20:21:00.000-06:002007-06-06T12:33:19.122-06:00MATH EXAM<div align="left">Hello,</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Well the time is near only 8 days till the Math Exam, have you started studying?

It turns on an axis that is 1m aboth the water and spins slowly at a rate of one revolution per 6 min. The trailing edge of the paddle wheel picks up a lily pad. This lily pad travels around and around with the wheel, at times in the air and at times under water. The height of the lily pad with respect to the surface of the water varies sinusoidally with time. Sketch the graph of this sinusoidal function for one revolution starting with the lily pad at the top of the wheel. Label and number the axis appropriately. Indicate the upper and lower bounds.</div><br /><div>a) Detemine the equation for this sinusoidal function, expressing the height of the lily pad (h) as a function of time.</div><br /><div>b) What is the postion of the lily pad with respect to the water at a time of 14 min.</div><br /><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">First he drew a diagram and a graph of what it was supposed to look like to give us a better idea of what was happening</span></div><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072219657027082626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 161px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="320" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXYdhztR_hyphenhyphenR7evthXXIngXzOZcsH91TZA1UiCxDC447NufY55wHcTSNYE1YE-aCpZISDeHZz55DVdhFaqgRWKUIoo4EwurrXAWDjpUVbFtsRkoUBoCyKf-M5KW2hOvmqdtXDCWkw7xSk/s320/May3107samplequestions_1.gif" width="185" border="0" /><span style="color:#ff0000;">He then showed us how to find what a, b, c, and d was for the sinusoidal equation </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">y=asin(bx+c)+d</span></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">The final answer was the equation y=((pi/3)x+(pi/2))+1</span></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">If you type that into either your calculator or graphmatica your graph should look somewhat like the one sketched by Mr. Max up above.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">To answer question b) you just have to trace to 14 and you should get your answer of -1.5m (under water)</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">For 10) you just type in the numbers on the chart given into your calculator and do </span></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">SinReg L1, L2, Y1 and then go to your graph and there should be one tracing out the temperatures.

So he started to teach us what a,b,c, and d mean. He referenced what we learned last week, about what happens when the values of a,b,c, and d change. Then he went right into teaching us about<span style="color:#cc33cc;"> "a".</span><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070017206844164482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 197px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 345px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="235" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBefx3Tmybu_olF4rsn-ZjJkaU7OvFcYgyfpG7nOm0y-Qnu9kweTNf8hONKOVfgtwn3JL66M7nJUwFxOl9r61au0g_IsJo_neEX6Mrnxz9qc0XsiCQK1O8L6gvRuxj5x8Qws0REgD79rG9/s320/May2807abcdvalues_1.gif" width="175" border="0" />Many people were confused with the whole "a" is amplitude but "a" is not equal to amplitude. So Mr. Max changed the notes to say that "a" is closely related to amplitude and the absolute value of "a" is equal to amplitude. Hope that makes more sense.<br /></div><br /><p>Mr. Max moved on to the<span style="color:#cc66cc;"> "b"</span> value. This time Mr. Max made the notes clear and stated that the "b" value relates very closely with period. Although period does not equal the "b" value.</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070023198323542482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIiGcGDCYAbDv5ysx7iHZ1mRdtC_zrlv6tE3p3kS14966rwndt-EGy1kh_tHFD3sh-HwbcKctenl9LGIMcw5uN1BZ7hiFFUwHrNw0tzxlhG0AK2qPeiQRpr_s2fefwC_ykO3iM84t6Bnn7/s320/May2807abcdvalues_2.gif" border="0" /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNRiozdNlINBqdsx4jfwewd3KRbBkE-Hyq7xoSrGYHk341twSgMoA3h-uZ7U_6YkRI3OAsvJBX5LqtNXR0OOS8d-s5ankzajB0i-4SEOdYdv0tY_OR2BYMouT64MOrxld1wj1rwNH5Vux7/s1600-h/May2807abcdvalues_3.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070020471019309474" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNRiozdNlINBqdsx4jfwewd3KRbBkE-Hyq7xoSrGYHk341twSgMoA3h-uZ7U_6YkRI3OAsvJBX5LqtNXR0OOS8d-s5ankzajB0i-4SEOdYdv0tY_OR2BYMouT64MOrxld1wj1rwNH5Vux7/s320/May2807abcdvalues_3.gif" border="0" /></a>Next, came the<span style="color:#cc66cc;"> "c"</span> value.

I write the exam in the morning, so it does not actually affect this math course.<br />Enough about that, now to some work.<br />Today we learned about Confidence Intervals “Predicting the mean of a sample”<br />The main idea is to be able to predict with varying level of accuracy (Confidences) the mean of a sample.<br />Usually levels of confidence are measured at 90% 95% and 99%.<br />Mr. Maxx’s nice diagrams might show it even better than I could tell you though.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5068564120692208546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 335px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 423px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="425" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpdtFDx23Vlz0lS6U1Kbg1Ins9jw3rtovEnX53ROEH6wzRLE9m6apXGe3p0ZrV4us_dbwxj57WyvFg6UUIHGrHx2iA8s7gPa7AaTL_THbjYCDKPfJaux7Jzv2QJyysjmceJE_CESIZAJq1/s400/May2407confidenceintervals_1.gif" width="421" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5068564434224821170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 163px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 380px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="481" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8akvFZ5iZ6O3rMuSHt2FP2BDky3RE2FZRvSHbKgpXc_EPg67imkGnRfbOleAl5LVlZaUQc_Tpqhd3WBF6RfXVoW1PC15C6zl06W_U29DRwHxfxGYFQ_ooOnTD5jce4zh4JyjJGBLZMTWG/s400/May2407confidenceintervals_2.gif" width="291" border="0" /></p><br /><br /><p></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5068564730577564610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wFRFTZQKImD8-AB6V_kpvl-BbCX7E_HfR0b00YyPNv9tUE4Us5goLxDXFC3vNr-3KDW_RElQtIqXvwnygZg_wIEaKHRhyqKWpxYs6M4nOGfBrWTAufwTnJZwCiNO4kCbg5QazQdWKwVM/s400/May2407confidenceintervals_3.gif" border="0" /><br /><p>I hope this helps you (all you viewers out there in the electronic world) to understand.</p>Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18348483287965073426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971711218634132800.post-73373584389388756792007-05-24T09:44:00.000-06:002007-05-24T12:23:25.700-06:00Attempting the Unthinkable<span style="color:#000099;">Today Mr. Max attempted the alleged impossible. He undertook a intense mathematic mission, trying to complete the statistics unit in record time. He informed us that if all went well, statistics would be no more after today, May 23, 2007. I know this will not be an easy task; he will need all the help he can get. Luckily he has his partner, Ron Blonde, to lend a helping hand. Ron will be a major part in helping him finish off ‘Binomial Distributions’</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Let the mission begin.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Binomial Distribution exists in all scenarios. It includes exactly two outcomes, SUCCESS and FAILURE, which means not success.<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#330033;">Things to remember:<br />p + q = 1<br />q = 1 – p<br />p = 1 – q<br />q = p!<br />p = q!<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>binomcdf formula</strong>: ( number of trials, probability of success, number of successes)<br /><strong>binompdf formula</strong>: ( number of trials, probability of success, number of successes)<br /><br />The <strong>binomcdf</strong> formula is used up to and including this many successes.<br />The <strong>binompdf</strong> formula is exactly this many successes.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><span style="color:#333399;">So after learning all of this information, we tried a couple of practice questions.</span><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">The probability that a student at Brandon University uses a particular brand of toothbrush is 2/5.

Today was our first day of the rest of the semester without mental math. We began the class with Mr. Max going over <span style="color:#ff0000;">question # 1. of the Statistics Review</span> booklet. We were supposed to do the question in each of the four ways we were taught yesterday to do it. So Mr. Max went over the question using each method.<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /></div><div><strong>1.)</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X2hq-0QMvVk/Rkym1tnMJsI/AAAAAAAAACE/5VrORp4C65w/s1600-h/May1707zscores_1.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5065607122592212674" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X2hq-0QMvVk/Rkym1tnMJsI/AAAAAAAAACE/5VrORp4C65w/s320/May1707zscores_1.gif" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><strong>2.)</strong> </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5065611245760817010" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X2hq-0QMvVk/RkyqltnMJ3I/AAAAAAAAADc/N7YutAcnI8o/s320/May1707zscores_2.gif" border="0" /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><strong>3.)</strong></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">* </span><a href="http://www.ronblond.com/M12/norm.big.APPLET/index.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">ronblond's</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"> site does not accept thousandths rounding (ie: 0.013) therefore, plan accordingly!</span><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_X2hq-0QMvVk/RkyoENnMJwI/AAAAAAAAACk/6wcncP7FDEA/s1600-h/May1707zscores_3.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5065608471211943682" style="FLOAT: left;

He makes a very valid point, if you put something online (this post for example) it will be online forever.

It really makes you think, and be nervous. Mr. Max also told us that if we get bored while he's teaching to take a look at the <a href="http://www.block3applied.blogspot.com/">3rd block</a> classes blog.<br /><br />Anyways, after the speech and telling us to <span style="font-family:arial;">look</span> at the block 3 class blog, Mr. Max began to go over the question he assigned yesterday.

So we had a work period. The sub we had was a very nice lady and she told Mr. Max that we actually worked. Yay us! We were to go to a website called 'seeingstatistics.com' and teach ourselves. Most took notes of the website to keep it fresh in our minds. We had homework due, but the due date was moved to the fifteenth (today)... Overall it was a great day and it was nice to have a period to just work.</span>nemo44469http://www.blogger.com/profile/00318979540055997483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971711218634132800.post-2317412212881388682007-05-11T12:10:00.000-06:002007-05-14T13:03:58.752-06:00<div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div>So friday we skipped mental math, and went right into the lesson which was measures of central tendancy & variability.
