No maths questions yet like I said on MSN but there will be some. Trust me. ;)

Btw, good thread idea. :cheese:

A lady deposits 13000$ in a bank. If there's 8 1/2 compound interest, how much money will she have in 10 years?

Ahh! You couldn't have posted this sooner? I finished all my math exams :p

If I ever need more help though, I know which lion to come to :p

hey STL, for me, it is the Sine and Cosine rules

i know that Sine rule is for 2 sides and one angle, and the Cosine Rule is all three sides, but what do you do from there?

I wish i was good at math -,- I took the tests we have to take in 8th grade and i got ABOVE the top 93% of the students for language arts but in math i got average and sometimes below x_x

StL = mathematical genius. 'nough said.

Well, I (premonition) / hope you become a foremost mathematician, matey. Right?

Anywayz, cheers, d00d!

1: A spinner has 4 equal sectors colored yellow, blue, green and red. After spinning the spinner, what is the probability of landing on each color?

2: A single 6-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of each outcome? What is the probability of rolling an even number? of rolling an odd number?

3:A glass jar contains 6 red, 5 green, 8 blue and 3 yellow marbles. If a single marble is chosen at random from the jar, what is the probability of choosing a red marble? a green marble? a blue marble? a yellow marble?

4:Choose a number at random from 1 to 5. What is the probability of each outcome? What is the probability that the number chosen is even? What is the probability that the number chosen is odd?

heheheheh now for the fun stuff

Thank you very much STL. :hugs: But, to be specific, we do fractions....

I don't know how they do this sorta thing:

5 1/2 3/4
8 4/7 2/7
+__________
6 7/2

Of course, it's obvious I made that up, but do you know what I mean? I have no clue how to simplfy....it's weird to me...seems like they grab numbers out of thin air...

Seriously, STL, you're super smart. =)

Wow.

Thanks a bunch for that mate. This will most likely help with further revision for future exams. =) Thanks again.

Maybe we should call you 'STL, The Mathematics Genius' :cheese:

The random variable X has the Poisson distribution Po(L), where L>0. It is given that E(X?) = 5[E(X)]?. Find the value of L.

Poisson? You mean that the letter "X" is toxic?:confused:

oi -.-; *drops dead right now from all the math*

Thanks for the offer though STL,b ut anytime that I don't have to do math, I don't do math. But perhaps you can answer me a question...

Why do people on one side of the world call it math's' and the other side calls it math' '?

Other than that I don't think I'll be returning to this thread as it's giving me a head ache xD

So the name is actually poisson? I mean I saw it in the link.. What does that mean? :uhno:

I think we use the singular form because it designates a generality occurrence 'mongst us all, most logically.

However, using the plural form is most correct, because there's more than one type of math, indeed.

Ah okay. I think I'll stick with calling it all 'Headache Generator' and be done with it hehe :p

Aww, i was hoping to get a personal tutor. :p
Thanks, though. ;)
Can ya believe that was a mere 3 mark question of a paper i'm about to take? :eww: :gasp:

Wow, you are so smart SimbaTheLion. The most complicated thing I can do is geometry and answering algebra II equations.

y = mx + b. :D

Ax + By + C = 0
Where A is not equal to 0

x/a + y/b = 1

Point slope formula:
y = m(x - a) + b


Given two points, one can draw a line between the two points.

We had an English mock exam a few weeks back and I finished about an hour early. The exam was 2 hours long, so I was just sat there for an hour. I nearly fell asleep whilst the examiners walked up and down looking over my shoulder. :rolleyes: They have no idea how much that puts me off sometimes... :die: :grrr:

Poisson Distribution falls under Statistics. Statistics is a huge topic. Takes up 70% of the paper from what i've heard. :eww:

I don't like long English essays. I need to take descriptive statistics for my computer major. I played around with statistics with OpenOffice.org's spreadsheet program.

Alright, today I did algebraic expressions. I think I have got the hang on how to do them but I'm still not sure in parts. If you know anymore about this, feel free to post extra info about it. =)

King Simba

We did multiplying and adding with them I think. If you don't know what I mean, it doesn't matter.

King Simba
June 15th, 2005, 03:30 PM
Well what we were doing is something similar to this. Sorry, I haven't got my exercise book with me so I can't copy down a question that I did. Here's an example anyways...

4n (6x x 3)

We then did some dividing and stuff like that. We're using brackets in some of the questions too btw.

thanks for you help STL, the sine and cosine rule did come up on my exam, and i was fully prepared for that question.

thanks again ;)
