Possible Outcomes

An experiment consists of rolling a fair die and flipping a fair coin. What is the probability of getting a number divisible by 2?

Lets think first, the die has 6 faces and a coin has two.

Now, we figure out what are the numbers on the die that are divisible to 2.

1, 2, 4, and 6 all are divisible to 2

and the coin that has no numbers on it but lets say tails is 1 and heads is 2 because there are only two faces on a coin.

so the only one is heads.

So now we have our answers 5/7

Probabilty

Braiden has gone on a field trip with his class to the zoo. However, he has gotten lost. It is time to leave, and he needs to find the right bus to get on to go to school. Braiden attends Cheyenne Middle School. In the parking lot, there are 3 buses from Cheyenne Middle School, 5 buses from Farmington Elementary, and 6 buses from Hollis Middle School. Unfortunately, all these buses look alike. If Braiden goes up to a bus at random, what is the probability that will be the wrong bus?

As we can see there are only 3 buses that go to the school that Braiden wants to go to.

On the other hand there are 5 from Farmington and 6 from Hollis.

If we think we know that 5+6=11

the probability of Braiden going to the incorrect bus is

11/3 when simplified will equate to 3 2/3

Answers to questions for chapters 11 & 12

1. How is the descent into savagery foreshadowed in the novel? Provide three examples of its foreshadowing.

A) In these last few chapters I found that 'foreshadowing' is demonstrated when Piggy killed Simon. Savagery is an uncivilized or barbaric state or condition; barbarity and and barbarity means brutal or inhuman conduct; cruelty if you are killing someone it is still considered barbarity even though it is so very common now a~days.

2)How are Piggy, his glasses, and the conch symbolically linked in the novel?

A) Piggy is keen at loosing his conch and he is always concentrating on his specs. From my observation i think that his glasses are linked to the way he saw things. Because if we think back to he was he was more concerned about the more important things. I am not sure about the conch.

.3) What is the relationship between the Beast and the Lord of the Flies?

a) the beast is more of like a label then a person whereas the lord of the flies is a person.

My Response on Lord of the Flies Chapters 6-8

From my observations on the gang on the island, the lonely, deserted island, they have become extremely used to having no chaperons around. Because of this they tend to do all the things they feel like doing like Jack has become less concerned about doing what he should to avoid any medical problems. I personally think that they do not feel the need to be respectful to each other any more as well, Piggy did not want to be called piggy but they all call him that. I have become a little more grateful for adults that are here to help us to be better as people. . . Just a little :D
