May 29, 2008





We started with the homework check on Questions #16 & #18 from the “Sinusoidal Data Exam Questions” Booklet, and continued with the correction of these. Then Mr. Max showed us how to do a Blog Clean up, and told us to do it before June 20th. New homework is #1 & #2.

Here my little hint for sinusoidal functions:
a = amplitude
(the distance between the average and the maximum or minimum)
b = 2π/period
(the time it takes to get from max1 to max2)
c = phase shift
(the difference from the point of start (time 0) to the point where a not phase shifted sinusoidal function would start)
d = average
(the middle between maximum and minimum)

-c/b => phase shift





On May 28 we went over The ferris wheel question. We also had question 16 and 18 for homework.

Well today Jordan isn't here today so I am scribing. We are done mental math so we started by handing in our baseball dimond question, we then went over the answer. The total was $75,874.08.


Idea with questions with a,b,c,d.... if you don't know how to do a but you know how to do the rest make up a answer and use it for the rest. Just write down a little note saying I don't know how to do a so I made up a answer.


We did some sinusoidal data questions and here are the answers. Question number 7 is for homework, show all work. Here is a panada dog.


.

Today we handed in mental math marks and decided to never do mental math again!! We had to finish question 3(the baseball diamond) He gave us a hint that the answer is about $80,000. The question is due at start of class tomorrow.

Design and Measurement Homework

Today, instead of doing Mental Math, Mr. Maks gave us a question from our Design and Measurement booklet for a quiz handed in by 3:40. We were supposed to do Assignment 2 Question 2A. So, I guess it's tough luck for the people who skipped or were away. Homework due for Tuesday is from the booklet, Assignment 2 Question 3. Have a great long weekend!

Hello Class! Today we did mental math and watched a preview for Kung Fu Panda(comes out June 6)...it was pretty sweet. We worked in the Design and Measurement Portfolio booklet today. Max said to ignore the rubric and stuff in the back of the book because we are doing it differently. We were instructed to make our own formula sheets that have formulas for 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D objects. In class we did question #1, assigment 2 today. Its the cake question. We added onto the 3rd paragraph that we also create a diagram showing Dans minimized cake waste. Thats what we did in class today!!

Binomial Distribution

Hello fellow classmates. To start class we did mental math, and unfortunatly Daine did something right, and I lost a mark. After this we went over the booklet which was assigned when Mr. Max was away. There were twelve questions to be done, most of which everyone completed. This made Mr. Max fairly happy so good job. We did a class vote of which questions to look over and #6 and #10. Here are the answers for them.




After he showed us how to do them on the calculator, he taught us the Ron Blond way. To do it the Ron Blond way all you have to do is:

1. Set your large N scale to 100

2. Set your small n scale to whatever your number of trials is.

3. Set your probability on the green and red circle at the top.

From this you just click on whichever numbers you need. If you need from 100-150, then click and hold from 100-150, and if you need a certain number, then just click that number.

Thats about all I have to say for my blog today. I hope you have wonderful evening, bye.

P.S. We have been comfirmed that we are doing the Provincial Pilot Exam.

May 5th

Today in math class we started off with another very hard mental math. We then went on to learn a long lesson on determining if distributions are normal or not. The specific term for this is The Empirical Method for determining normalcy. Here are some screenshots from the notes we took.

Friday May 2, 2008

Hi. Today is my day to scribe. We started off with doing mental math. Mr. Max then asked us for if we did our homework for the homework check. Then we went over the homework and got the right answers.





After we did this homework Mr. Max read us a book. It was math related and quite interesting.

Thursday May 5th

Hello everyone! Today is my turn to contribute to this wonderfull blog. Today we started with a little mental math, then Mr Max walked us through our homework questions. Since everyone found them too hard, we did questions #2 and #8. Our homework for tommorrow will be questions #12 and #15.
