Scribe List

The Scribe List
This is the Scribe list. If a name highlighted in blue the student has already done a scribe for this cycle. You will be expected to scribe once every 30 classes. This link explains the job of a Scribe. Please choose a name from this list as the next person who will be the next scribe.

This is the second round of the scribe list. If you have an * beside your name you did not do a scribe during the first round. You may do a scribe any day you want to catch up. You still will be responsible to do a scribe if you are chosen during round 2.

Part of being a scribe is leaving comments. You will be expected to leave comments behind at the sites provided in the Blogs that scribe link in your side bar.

TPO = 8
8) P (white) = 4/8
PO = 4
TPO = 8
9) P (shaded) = 1/8

My own answers.
1) P (not shaded) = 7/8
PO = 7
TPO = 8
2) P (green) = 0
There is no green in the cards.

Jorel's E-50:#4

n) If you flip a coin 150 times, about how many times would you expect to get heads?

ans: 75 150/2=75
2 is the T.P.O. so getting a heads should have 50%chance.

c) The letters a, e, i, o, u, and y are vowels. If one letter of the alphabet is chosen randomly, what is the probability it is a vowel?

ans: 6/26 or 3/13

k) If you randomlyu pick a date in April, how many equally likely outcomes are there?

ans: 30
There are 30 days in April so the total possible outcome is 30.

p) A magician asked you to pick a card, any card, from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of picking an ace?

ans: 4/52 or 1/17
There are 4 Ace in the standard deck so the P.O. is 4/52 or 1/13 .

paola's E-49 probability part I




I. find each probability if you spin the spinner once.




1.P(red)

answer:The probability of getting red in the spinner is 1/5.if you want to get the percentage of the probability,first you divide 1/5 then multiply the answer to 100 which the answer is 20%.

2.P(green)

answer:The probability of getting green in the spinner is 1/5 which the answer is the same as number 1.So the percentage is also 20%

3.P(blue or white)

answer:The probability of getting blue or white in the spinner is 2/5 or40%.

4.P(not yellow)

answer:The probability in getting all the colors except for the color yellow is 4/5 or 80%

5.P(not red)

answer:This is also the same as number 4 but now they are looking for the probability of all the colors except for the color red.So the answer in this question is also 4/5 or 80%

6.P(blue or white)

answer:The probability of getting blue or white is 2/5 or 40%

make your own question part


II.find each probability if you spin once.


1.P(blue,red or purple)

answer:3/8 or 37.5%


2.P(black)


answer:1/8 or 12.5%


3.P(brown,baby blue,black or green)


answer:4/8=1/2 or 50%


4.P(not baby blue)


answer:7/8 or 87.5%


5.P(black or red)


answer:2/8 or 25%

Ian's E-49 Question#1






Find each probability if you spin the spinner once.




1.P(red)= 1-possible outcomes
5- total possible outcomes=20%
I divided the possible outcomes and total of possible outcomes then I multiply it to 100 to become a percent of my answer.


1/5=0.2=20%



2.P(green)1/5 =20%

I did it as the first one I divided the possible outcomes and the total possible outcomes then I multiply it to 100 to get the percent which is 20%





1/5=0.2=20%



3.P(blue or yellow)2/5=40%

This is the same as the other ones I divided the possible outcomes which is 2 to the total possible outcomes which is 5 then I multiply it to 100 to become a percent which is 40%.


2/5=0.4=40%


4.P(not yellow)4/5=80%

First I take the possible outcomes which is 4 and the total possible outcomes which is 5 then I divided it.Then I multiply it to 100 to become a percent which is 80%.


4/5=0.8=80%


5.P(not red)4/5=80%

what I did is like this first I look for the othr thats not red. Then I found the possible outcomes which is 4 and the total possible outcomes which is 5.Then I multiply it to 100 to become a percent.


4/5=0.8=80%


6.P(blue or red or yellow)3/5=60%

I count the blue red yellow which is the possible outcomes that is 3 and I look for the total possible outcomes which is 5.I multiply them to know the ratio then I divided it to 100 to become a percent.


3/5=0.6=60%


My own questions:








1(blue or brown)

2P(red or yellow)

3P(blue or yellow)

4P(red)

answer:

1. 2/5=0.4=40%

2. 2/5=0.4=40%

3. 2/5=0.4=40%

4. 1/5=0.2=20%

Camille's Probability E-49 Part II

II. Find each probability if you choose one card at random.


















7. P (striped) 3/8, there are 3 striped cards out of 8 cards.

8. P (white) 4/8 or ½, there are 4 white cards out of 8 cards. I reduce them into half,
that’s why I have ½.

9. P (shaded) 1/8, there’s one shaded card out of 8 cards.

10. P (white or shaded) 5/8, there are 4 white cards and 1 shaded card. I added 4 into 1, 4+1=5, it‘s 5 cards out of 8 cards. So the answer is 5/8.

11. P (striped or white) 7/8, there are 3 striped cards and 4 white cards. I added them together, 3+4=7, 7 cards out of 8 cards.

12. P (striped or shaded) 4/8 or ½, there are 3 striped cards and 1 shaded card. I
added them together, 3+1=4, 4 cards out of 8 cards. Then, I reduce them into
half, the answer is ½.

13. P (not striped) 5/8, there are 4 white cards and 1 shaded card. I added them
together, 4+1=5, 5 cards out of 8 cards.

14. P (not white) 4/8 or ½, there are 3 striped cards and 1 shaded card. I added them
together, 3+1=4, 4 cards out of 8 cards. Then, I reduce them into half, the
answer is ½.

15. P (striped, white or shaded) 8/8 or 1, there are 3 striped cards, 4 white cards and
1 shaded card. I added them all together, 3+4+1=8, 8 cards out of 8 cards. 8/8 is
whole number, so you can call it 1.


II. Find each probability if you choose one card at random.








7. P (orange) 2/8 or ¼, there are 2 orange cards out of 8 cards. I reduce them into half, that’s why I have ¼.
8. P (pink or blue or orange) 8/8 or 1, there are 4 pink cards, 2 blue cards and
2 orange cards. I added them all together, 4+2+2=8, 8 cards out of 8 cards. 8/8 is
whole number, so you can also call it 1.
9. P (blue) 2/8 or ¼, there are 2 blue cards out of 8 cards. I reduce them into half, that’s why I have ¼.
10. P (not blue) 6/8 or ¾, there are 4 pink cards and 2 orange card. I added them
together, 4+2=6, 6 cards out of 8 cards. I reduce them into half, the
answer is ¾.
11. P (orange or blue) 4/8 or ½, there are 2 orange cards and 2 blue cards. I added
them together, 2+2=4, 4 cards out of 8 cards. Then, I reduce them into half, the
answer is ½.
12. P (blue or pink) 6/8 or ¾, there are 4 pink cards and 2 orange card. I added
them together, 4+2=6, 6 cards out of 8 cards. I reduce them into half, the
answer is ¾.
13. P (not pink) 4/8 or ½, there are 2 blue cards and 2 orange cards. I added them
together, 2+2=4, 4 cards out of 8 cards. Then, I reduce them into half, the
answer is ½.
14. P (pink) 4/8 or ½, there are 4 pink cards. I added them together, 2+2=4, 4 cards
out of 8 cards. Then, I reduce them into half, the
answer is ½.
15. P (pink or orange) 6/8 or ¾, there are 4 pink cards and 2 orange card. I added
them together, 4+2=6, 6 cards out of 8 cards. I reduce them into half, the
answer is ¾.

rivka's e-49 III questions:

16) what is the probability of guessing the correct answer to a multiple choice question if there are 5 choices?

p=1/5 because there is only one possible correct answer and 5 is the total of the choices (TPO)!

percent: 1 /5=0.2 0.2x100=20% or 20 out of 100


17)what probability of guessing the correct answer to a true-false question?

p=1/2 because there is only one possible correct answer, either true or false and the 2 is the total of the choices (TPO)!

percent: 1/2=0.5 0.5x100=50% or 50 out of 100


18)what is the probability that your birthday will fall on saturday or sunday?

p=2/7 beacause there are 2 possible days that your birthday will fall on that day and 7 is the total days in a week (TPO)!

percent: 2/7=0.285 0.285x100=28.5% or 28.5 out of 100

my own question:

18) what is the probability that your graduation will fall on monday?

p=1/7 because monday is the only day in a week and it's the only possible day that your graduation will fall and 7 is the total days in a week (TPO)!

percent: 1/7=0.142 0.142x100=14.2% or 14.2 out of 100



im done!!! is this right mr. harbeck!?
