My Game

My game is called "Jeffopoly." This is how you play, you first spin the spinner. If the pointer lands on blue you move 3 spaces forward and if you land on white you mave 2 spaces forword. There are spaces that you can "miss a turn," "move spaces," or move back spaces." First person to make it back to the finish wins. This is a fair game because the is a 50/50 chance of getting a blue or whte and either way you can move spaces.

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.

Math Pg E-50 Question #1

1 . Suppose you roll a regular 6-faced die .

How many equally likely outcomes are there ?
There are 6 outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6)

If you roll the die once, what is the probability of rolling a 3 ?

The probability of rolling a 3 would be 1/6 or 16.67%

If you roll the die 60 times, about how many times would you expect to get a 1 ?

i would expect to get a one 10/60 =1/6 or 16.67%

If you roll the die 300 times , about how many times would you expect to get a 5?

i would expect to get a 5 50/300= 1/6 or 16.67%

haha yeah i knoe the dice really ugly =P

My Question

if you roll an 8-faced die 600 times how many times would you expect to get the number 7 ? explain you answer in a fraction and a percent.

i would expect to get then number 7 75/600 =1/8 or 12.5%

solving # 4

Question of problem 4.



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


If you divide 150 into 2 gives you 75/150


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


The answer would be 7/26, how, add all the vowels together and, how many the probability is 7/26


3. If you randomly pick a date in April, how many equally likely outcomes are there?


The answer would be 30, because there are 30 days in April.


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


The probability of picking a ace would be 4/52 and you can simplify to 2/26and you can do it one more time to be 1/13. So the answer would be 1/13


This is my question if you have 10 pens, 14 pencils, 16 erasers, and 9 rulers. How many outcomes can you have?

- 2 Ps - 1 F

- 2 Es - 1 G

- 2 Rs - 1 T

- 3 Cs - 1 X

- 3 As - 1 D

- 2 Os

... and only 26 letters in the alphabet,

the probability of a letter being chosen

at random is this word is 15/26.

There are only 15 DIFFERENT letters.

Math Questions

1. 1/5 (red) This is 1/5 because there is only 1 chance out of 5 of getting red

2.1/5 (green) This is 1/5 because there is only 1 chance out of 5 of getting green

3.2/5 (blue or white) This is 2/5 because there is only 2 chances of 5 of getting blue or white
4. 4/5 (not yellow) This is 4/5 because there is only 4 out of 5 chances of not getting yellow

5.4/5 (not red) This is 4/5 because there is only 4 out of 5 chances of not getting red

6. 3/5 (blue, white and yellow) This is 3/5 because there is only 3 out of 5 chances of getting blue white or yellow

2. A spinner is shown below for which outcome is NOT equally likely.

(E) If you spin the spinner once, what is the probability that it'll stop on A?
A takes up the same amount of romm that b and c do together. If you divide A in half, there would be 4 parts. Then there are 2 a's so, 2/4 or 1/2.
(A) If you spin the spinner once, what is the probability that it'll stop on B?
Again, A stands for 2 parts, so there are 4 parts all together. B takes up one of the 4 spots so, 1/4.
(T) If you spin the spinner 50 times, about how many times would you expect it to stop on A?
A takes up half of the room. Half of 50 equals 25. 25 is the answer.
(Y) If you spin 80 times, about how many times would you expect to stop on C?
C takes up a quarter of the room. A quarter is the same thing a as a fourth. 80 divided by 4 equals 20. 20 is the answer.
(MY QUESTION) If you spin the spinner 240, how many times would it supposedly stop on B?
240 divided by 4 equals 60 (24 divided by 4 equals six, add a zero at the end, voila!). Again B takes up a fourth of the space, and so forth, the answer is 60!

1)


2) (1) 1/5 (2)1/5 (3) 1/5 (4) 4/5 (5) 4/5 (6) 1/5


3) Find the probability of spinning on white.

Math Questions & Answers Page E-50 Part VI (# 2)

A spinner is shown at the right for which each outcome is NOT equally likely.

If you spin the spinner once, what is the probablity that it will stop on A?

The probablity of the spinner landing on A after one spin would be Pa=2/4, or simplified to Pa=1/2, because A takes up half or two quarters of the spinner. (A/AllOtherAreas)

If you spin the spinner once, what is the probablity that it will stop on B?

The probablity of the spinner landing on B after one spin would be Pb=1/4, because B takes up 1 quarter of the spinner. (B/AllOtherAreas)

If you spin the spinner 50 times, about how many times would you expect it to land on A?

You would expect the spinner to stop on A about 25 times, because the probablity of getting A is 1/2. And 25 is half of 50.

If you spin the spinner 80 times, about how many times would you expect it to land on C?

You would expect the spinner to stop on C about 20 times, because the probablity of getting C is 1/4. And 20 is one quarter of 80.

--{*Create-A-Question*}--

Pretend B took up about 40% (2/5) of the spinner, and C took only 10% (1/10) of the spinner.

Then, if you spinned the spinner 20 times, how many times would it land on B?

Or on C?

Or A?

4. Solve.

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

You should get 75 times of getting a head... or 1/2 because there is a 50% of chance that you can get a head and another 50% of getting a tail if you flip the coin once. So flipping the coin 150 times will give you an expectation of 75 because 50% of 150 of 75.

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

The answer should be 6/26 or if you simplify it (by the number 2), you should get 3/13 because the alphabet has 26 letters in total and the vowels would be 6 letters out of 26. Also Mr. Harbeck has taught us an easy way of figuring what the answer would be for questions like this.

(K) If you randomly pick a date in April, how many equally likely outcomes are there?

Usually each months should have only 30 or 31 days unless it's February then you have 28 days and if it's a leap year then you get 29 days in February. But we only need to solve for the month of April and the equally likely outcomes should be 30 because April only has 30 days so the number of 30 days is most likely to be the outcomes of April. So if you pick a ramdomly date in April, you should be picking a date between April 1st and April 30th. I have also checked the calendars of the year 2004 and 2005 to make sure that April has only 30 days.

(P) A magician asks you to pick a card, any card, from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of picking an Ace?

The answer should be a 4 because every number has 4 cards each, a card of hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds. Also, there are 13 numbers (and letters) in a deck. A number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and letters such as an Ace, Jack, Queen and a King. So there are 52 cards in a deck, and each number contains 4 cards each, so the probability of getting an Ace is 4/52 or if you simplify it by the number 4, you will get 1/13.

My own question:

The prize of $500 dollars is only won by winning the 1st bingo game. The other 5 winners will win $20 dollars. If you were playing bingo with the other 299 people and each person only has 1 bingo card, what is the probability of winning $500 ? What is the probability of winning $20? What is the probability of winning $500 and $20?
