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

Summer School

This is not how I wanted to spend my summer,but i guess this is what i get. Spending time doing what I wanted when I SHOULD be doing my work. I knew there were subjected I needed to work on and that my progress was critical to my future, it was so hard though! Now I am on this odyssey thing which is kind of cool much easier than K12. I have been buckling down lately though. I plan on getting a job so I can go to Great America whenever my friends are. I can't believe July is already here so I am going to do my work in the morning and get it over with and do the other necessarythings afterward. Then of course all the fun and games last

World War 2 Sink of the Bismark

The German battleship Bismarck is one of the most famous warships of the Second World War. Named after the 19th century German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, Bismarck's fame came from the Battle of the Denmark Strait in May 1941 (in which the battlecruiser HMS Hood, flagship and pride of the British Royal Navy, was sunk), from Churchill's subsequent order to "Sink the Bismarck" , and from the relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy that ended with her loss only three days later.

History

Design of the ship started in the early 1930s, following on from Germany's development of the pocket battleshipDeutschland class cruisers and theGneisenau class "battlecruisers". Construction of the second FrenchDunkerque class battleship made redesign necessary, and Bismarck'sdisplacement was increased to 42,600 tons, although officially her tonnage was still only 35,000 tons to suggest parity with ships built within the limits of the Treaty of Versailles. Fully laden,Bismarck and her sister-ship Tirpitzwould each displace more than 50,000 tons. The prototype of the proposed battleships envisaged under Plan Z, Bismarck's keel was laid down at the Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg on 1 July 1936. She was launched on 14 February 1939 and commissioned on 24 August 1940 with Kapitän zur See Ernst Lindemann in command.

This formidable ship was intended primarily as a commerce raider, having a broad beam for stability in the rough seas of the North Atlantic and fuel stores as large as those of battleships intended for operations in the Pacific Ocean. Still, with eight 15 inch main guns in four turrets, substantial welded-armour protection and designed for a top speed of not less than 29 knots (she actually achieved 30.1 knots in trials in the calmer waters of the Baltic, an impressive speed when set against any comparable British battleship), Bismarck was capable of engaging any enemy battleship on reasonably equal terms. Her range of weaponry could easily decimate any convoy she encountered. The plan was for Bismarck to break through into the spacious waters of the North Atlantic, where she could refuel from German tankers and (the Germans hoped) remain undetected by British and American aircraft, submarines and ships, while attacking the convoys.
