WEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL, This sort of hard to explain on my part. In probability it's easy to understand after the teacher explains it to you. But when you apply it, It's all a puzzle, and i hate puzzles! I know how to do probability questions that involve the word "given that", but I'm just a little confused with the independent and dependent and mutually exclusive and not mutually exclusive. I mean what do you do after you find that out? what sort of math is involved if these events are mutually exclusive. I have the hardest time understanding it. They rest of probability is A-OK for me! the tree diagram always helps and it gives you more than you're looking for if you know what I mean.

BOB.... how about probability

What was the probability that after taking the day off school to sleep so that maybe i'd get my voice back, that i would remember to do my blogging on blogging?? all i can say is Thanks to the kids that posted them before now, cause when i went to check the scribe post to see what i missed, BOBs were posted!! Anywho enough about that, how about that probability unit?? I don't know about any of you, but I thought it was a good unit... I think there were only a couple times that i didn't know what i was doing, and those times were cleared up rather quickly. The other day when we did the pretest my group did so well.... minus a slip up where we were soo close. My favourite thing about the unit was doing the "what is the probability of A given that you already B?" those ones were no sweat... but the combinatoric ones still trip me up every once in a while... especially when i get distracted :D ... so i hope that i can keep focused and do well on that test tomorrow... and of course that everyone else does well too.... ok that's all for me tonight cause i'm getting some more sleep... who knows i might even get my whole voice back tomorrow.... till then, like mr. k says "Learn hard!!"

wow this unit has it's up and down. You would have to read twice ,to be able to write down your answer. sometime the answer you think its right might be even wrong.The first couple of part of unit was easy but it gets harder ,and harder. These questions you would have to do alot to be able to be familar with it. So practice,practice. Well thats all i have to say. bye

In probability well I'm not so good at it and let's just leave it at that. On plenty of questions I end up making plenty of mistakes, whether it's to using the incorrect method or leaving something out when solving the problem. While practice does help improve something, I've had close to a decade of problem solving questions and I doubt another few days is going to get me ready for those questions.

I don't really know where I am right now in the probability unit....T_T.. I get some of the answers sometimes correct and sometimes I get some of the answers wrong and sometimes I know I have the correct answer and got it wrong.....sometimes I have the right answer but get the part where you solve for the correct answer wrong............. I guess I just need a Little more practice!


good luck tomorrow~

Well now, I sorta like probability, but the part I didn't or well, I wasn't fond of much was, the part where combinatorix was combiend with probability, only because I don't think I did that good during combinatorix, which I need to review on. I guess it is kinda neat though how they're together like that. Overall I did like this probability unit, I hope I have as much luck tomorrow during the test though! I wish everyone luck on that, okay bye bye.

daph's seventh BOB

Probability for me is one of the scariest topics in mathematics. I found it hard to solve questions about cards and its decks. Moreover, thinking for the starting solution such as the tree diagram is another burden for me because I cannot really imagine things to be fitted in the diagram. On the contrary, I found it a little challenging. Some of the questions are really tough but sometimes I managed to solve it. Another is I want to acknowledge the effort that Mr. K gave to us in order to understand the probability well because he explained everything in details and still willing to explain it more if some of us was not able to understand it.
Honestly saying I'm not doing my assignments in probability. It is the reason why I cannot push myself in to a higher level when it comes to probability.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless us all in the upcoming test!!!!!!!!

BOB

This unit is very interesting and I get most of it. It's just that sometimes when it seems like you have the right answer, you don't..does that make any sense? What I mean by that is that a wrong answer can seem right as to the point where it looks possible so you end up getting the wrong answer. So multiple choice questions for this unit are pretty difficult. I really like the long answers where something is assumed given that an event happens, because they're a breeze. What's really hard to remember is that you always have to have the probability over the sample space and I always forget that. The pre-test was okay so I'm sure the test will be okay as well. Good luck everyone.

BOBing the conic way :D

Looks like its that time again folks... that's right BOB time, which
means a test is really close... and this was a short unit, but that
didn't mean we didn't learn a lot :D ... conics was not my favourite
unit, but it was far from the worst, so overall its not too bad. I
thought i was doing ok...  until i hit the online quiz... but i figure
my barely passing mark was because of some poor
concentration.. i like doing the quizzes at home, but this
time there were just too many distractions, but if i had paid
attention (i just went and reviewed my mistakes... jeeze i made
a lot of dumb ones) i could have done really well... so this means
that during the test i really need to just buckle
down, stay calm and believe that i know what I'm doing... then i will
do just fine... other than that the hardest part for me is just trying 
to make everything work out correctly without missing steps because
I'm rushing.. again if i stay calm and take my time I'll end up with
a much better result.. well that's just about it from me, and soon
for conics too (until the going for gold assignment and exam anyways :D )... 
So good luck everyone, and I'll see you on test day :D *learn hard!!* :P

Alright well, I'd like to say, conics was okay, it didn't last very long, but I like this unit, But I hope I do good tomorrow. I usually don't do as good at online quizes, But I believe that's a ood way of reviewing, or testing what you may know already, and see where you need improvements. Anways I wish everyone good luck tomorrow, and myself as well! Bye.

It's the end of the conics unit, and I think this one was one of the hardest units yet! I think I'm okay with it though, I just hope I don't blank out or anything. Hopefully I'll be able to remember how to apply the rules for the test tomorrow.

Hopefully everyone does well on the test tomorrow!! ^_^

well here's my last minute blog...almost forgot. For this unit I thought it was going fine and then we had the group work for parabolas which kind of scared me because I couldn't get the answer since I forgot what to do...but then afterwards i remembered which was good...we should have handed in the second parabola question..my group actually got that one correct..yayy..well anyway back to the test, the quiz for some odd reason i didn't do too well in which really sucks because I thought I knew everything so now I think I don't know anything.I think it'll be okay I just have to try my best..I think I got all of my thoughts for this test out so see everyone tomorrow and good luck on the test.

Tennyson's BOB

man , i am trying my best on this one , everytime we do a test , i always mess up. I know how to do the questions , but somehow, the question always different , very little is the same that we do on our assignments. Like i do well in homework , but when the test comes , its like everything is different then what i have done before. Well like Mr k said , " your mark determines , how much time you put into it". This unit is ok , its not bad, very short.well i hope i pass this test good luck everyone

Ashley's BOB on Conics

So this unit Conics is my absolute favourite! I actually understand what I'm doing and I finally know how to find the foci because for the longest time now I had no idea what the focus was:P I think I'm doing in this unit but I don't want to get too happy because the test could be hard. Some questions still confuse me, I mean I tend to make little mistakes and forget that y^2 = x that means that the parabola is opening sideways. Stuff like that I always forget so I need to learn how to read the question properly but other than that I'm doing fine. Good luck everyone!

Blaging on blagging-Jefferson style

CONICS IS SO FUN AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND!. Unfortunately I'm having a lot of problems on the word problem questions. i just don't seem to know where to start. after one particular word problem is solved, i begin to think why i wasn't able to solve it with ease. There is nothing different about the idea. But if it's rewritten in a way that seems like it's from another language then it's really really hard.

this unit about conics is very easy.................but.......I seem to be having a trouble on vertical parabola and vertical Ellipse type of questions. I keep on forgetting that the formula for vertical is different from horizontal parabola and Ellipse, like the one we did today in class and I don't really get that word problem question about the balloon with the arc circle and angel...arg..ugh..ah..(brain shuts down....reboting...back online). other then that, I think I understand most of the horizontal type of questions. good luck on the test on friday

Might as well get this done before I forget, conics I'm having an easy time with if you can believe it. The only problems that I seem to be having are just a few of the problems similar to the ones involving a semi-ellipse or half of a hyperbola like the questions in class today. Well that and the random bits of mistake that I make on occasions when I forget that an equation like "y^2 = x-4" is suppose to open vertically. Other then that's there's nothing too important to mention about how I'm doing for this unit.

daphne's BOB number five

The lesson that we had last unit was really tough. When I first looked at it, it seems like everything is complicated because it twisted my mind by just thinking of the right solutions for it. The good thing about it is that Mr. K never stop helping us to improve our skills in solving problems like this. Unfortunately, in my case, I'm still at the bottom of understanding the proper technique in solving cases like it. In fact, I'm not really confident that I can make it in this unit but I hope that from all of the efforts my classmates, Mr. K and I did, I passed.

Jho's Bob =)

Well this unit was an okay unit for me, it was kind of a refreshment of what i left of last year. I remember last year this was one of my best units, but for this year, i've learned some new stuff, like the pascals triangle and the bionomial expansion, unless i just forgot. But yeah i think i've learned alot more this year about this unit when i was teached about it last year. I hope i pass the test, i'm not oh to convinced that ill be superior for this quiz, because of my absenses and my failure to keep up with what we learnt. But i will try my best.

Oh yeah sorry about not posting up a scribe post yesterday, i couldn't get my internet going, after work, but i have informed who will be the scribe for today. I'll try to have my scribe up ASAP. GOOD luck everybody

So, the test is tomorrow, and the question is, am I prepared? Well, despite my being absent from school for over a week, I feel comfortable with this unit. It does get a little tricky every now and then, but I think that just a little more effort will help me through. I'm just hoping I do as well tomorrow as I did on my quiz tonight. Last year I think I had some trouble with this unit, probably because of my excessive absenteeism, and I'm not being cocky, but I feel like I'll do exceptionally well with our test.

Good luck everyone.
