These are the questions stipulated by Miss Tay. You just need to complete these questions after you have completed the lessons from heymath!

Ex 5.1/ Q1,3,5,7,9,11 AND
Ex5.2/Q3 -->8 and 12

Do them on foolscap paper! Show all workings neatly and clearly! I will go through step by step. So if you have the step-by step workings, it will be very helpful and you will be able to see very very clearly what your mistakes are!

Issues about Class T shirt

In my secondary school days, my school allow all students to make class T shirts. We had 1 T shirt every year. from sec 1 to sec 4.

But we only made the normal T shirt type...and they are not that expensive.

Rationale for having class T shirts:

1. Have a common identity during sports meet or any event that allows class T shirt.
2. To keep as momento. (since some may leave us at the end of this year...e.g. Paban going back to Nepal, and whoever is going overseas to further their studies)

Here are my suggestions:

1. use the $300 you all get for the best class award last year. [($18 x 40) - $300]/40 =$ 10.50
2. If the cost is still a concern for all of you, try to raise funds. I can donate some facial masks to you and you can sell to teachers at $1 each. If you managed to sell 40 masks, you earn $40, which can reduce price of T shirt by $1. So everyone polay $9.50... hey, this is almost 50% reduction from your $18.
3. If you really want a cheap T shirt...make a class t shirt in usual T shirt material.
--- lower cost
--- more comfortable
--- can even wear it in your school uniform
--- You can draw your own pic on it using marker (like what Martin did to his camp T shirt. It is gorgeous.
--- Your class will have the most unique T shirt around.. all the rest do ugly uncomfortable jersey type.

My suggested design: (just as a suggestion)


The front will just be a 1-colour abstract, modern design (to save cost)
Back will have school name and address... to make it cool. Like LV is 288 Orchard Rd etc
The box will be blank, just with border. you all will design your own number, register numbe ror fav football player number. Make it big and abstract. with your name.
All drawn using black t shirt marker or whatever colour you like.

so, 1 colour in front, i colour at the back.. so cheap!

by the way this is just your guru's idea.

Your Probability Test

I have completed my marking of your Probability test.

I am very pleased and estatic to announce that there is a student in your class who scored full marks!

Nonetheless, there are a handful of failures.

However, from your answers, I can see that most of you understood the topic well.

P(selecting a student who do not understand the topic)=0.05
P(selecting a student who is very fluent with the topic)= 0.35

Common errors....

last question: Probability that XX passes driving test each month is 0.7.
a)What is the probability that he will pass in either the first or second month?
b)What is the probability that he will pass in the first 3 months?

a) P(1st or 2nd month)= P(1st month pass) + P(1st month fail, 2nd month pass)

b) P(1st 3 months) = a + P(1st month fail, 2nd month fail, 3rd month pass)

...if you pass in your first month, will you take it again the 2nd or 3rd month?

Similarly, the probability that the Guru buys this LV speedy in a particular month is 0.8.

What is the probability she will buy it in Jan?
What is the probability that she will buy it in Jan or Feb?
What is the probability that she will buy in in the first 3 months?

If I buy it in Jan, do you think I will buy the same bag again in Feb or the 3rd month?
No! I will buy something else....e.g.

You all get what I mean?

PROBABILITY JOURNAL WRITING---WINNER!!

The winner is............BJORN!

Here is his journal.

Q: One day, you saw your uncle queueing under teh hot sun to buy 4D/Toto. Explain to him why he should not waste his money on these. Use the concept of probability to explain why the lottery company will always win.



There are some other entries that are good too. Here are the excerpts from some other entries:

Ha's entry


Xue Chun's entry

DEFINITE INTEGRAL

My personal feelings about today's session:

There is collaboration amongst students. (which is good)
People are really questioning why and not just copying blindly.


Learning really takes place!

Just some AFIs (Area for Improvements)
-When you discuss/spar ideas, be mindful that there are otehrs around you. Hence, keep your conversations short and not so loud.
-Bring rough paper of your own so taht you can take down notes etc.

These are solutions to 2 questions for today's HW. For your ref JIC you are nto osure how to present your answer.
