Week 7 Homework

Design your own memorisation method for mean, median, mode and range. You may present it as a video or a post. 

Mode mean median range (AKA MMMR_)

The mode is the number that occurs occurs the most most again the mode is the number that occurs the most.

The mean is the average number you add up all the number and then divid it by the number of added and that gives you the mean.

Now the median you gotta line up all the number from the smallest to the big fid the middle number you got the median. 

Range Find the smallest number and the biggest number minus the smallest number by the biggest you got your range.

Homework Week 3 Term 2

CHART : Sizes Of Shoes

3 statements I have are
1. That the majority of the shoes that I tested were size 11.
2. The average was 3.
3.  I thought that size 10 would be the most frequent one but I was wrong.

Homework Week 2

 Game A

Throw two dice and add the top two numbers together

• Player 1 wins when the result is an odd number 
• Player 2 wins when the result is an even number 

Results showing game A.

Player A	7
Player B	10

Who is more likely to win:

A) Player 1       B) Player 2       C) Both players are equally likely

Explain your answer.
C

I think C because There is a 50/50 chance of winning so that is why I think C.



Game B

Throw two dice and multiply the top two numbers together

• Player 1 wins when the result is an odd number 
• Player 2 wins when the result is an even number 

Results showing game B. 

Player A	36	9	25
Player B	9	16	36

Who is more likely to win:

A) Player 1      B) Player 2      C) Both players are equally likely

Explain your answer.
B. 

Player 2 is my answer. I think this because the probability of player 1 and player 2 winning is actually different. I have set up and a times table sheet & highlighted the odd numbers in purple. As you can see below the odd numbers (Highlighted in purple) that are multiplied, there is a lot less then the even ones (in blue). I calculated that the  probability of player 1 winning is 9\39, The probability of Player 2 winning is 27\36, and that's my theory to my answer.

x	1	2	3	4	5	6
1	1	2	3	4	5	6
2	2	4	6	8	10	12
3	3	6	9	12	15	18
4	4	8	12	16	20	24
5	5	10	15	20	25	30
6	6	12	18	24	30	36

    

Play Game A 50 times and record your results

Player A wins: 30 times
Player A looses: 20 times

Player B wins: 28 times
Player B looses: 22 times

Do your results show that this game is fair?
 yes/no?

Explain your answer.

Yes.
I think this because, The results were really close between player 1 & player 2, I think this shows that it is fair because if the game wasn't fair the results would have a bigger range. 


Play game B 50 times and record your results

Player A wins: 12
Player A looses: 38

Player B wins: 38
Player B looses: 12

Do your results show that this game is fair?
yes\no?

Explain your answer.
No.

I think this because, as I said before the probability of getting an odd when rolling 2 dice and multiplying is 9\36 as for getting an even number is 27 \36. Therefore if Player A had to win by getting odd number first they would have a lot less chance of winning then player B who had to get an even number to win.

RIMU

The thirsty rimu tree

licking the soil for water

guzzling the water through its parched roots  

swallowing the water down its long elegant throat

waiting for rain to fall.
