Probability And Statistics

During the week we have been working out how to use probability and statistics to solve some difficult problems. I found most of the work really hard but made it in the end with the help of my classmates. We got to make a probability scale to help us and let me tell you it was a fun experience because no one knew what to do. With a bit of research we got the work done within a week. I am still having trouble doing the work but I feel that I am making some progress.

Yurtle The Turtle

In 7Mt we had two frogs named yoda and belle. We thought that the frogs were getting really boring so Mr Mitchell told us that if we can convince Mrs Mitchell to trade the frogs for the turtle we would have a turtle in the classroom. We all wrote letters to her explaining the benefits of having frogs instead of a turtle.

Here Is Mine -

Dear, Mrs Mitchell

I am here today to tell you the benefits of having frogs as class pets. You can tell them that they will start croaking of you are very very quiet to keep them calm. The funny thing is that when we meet Mr Mitchell he told us this and we got quiet instantly. Another thing is you would be able to get a free bugs farm so you can feed you frogs. I find it disgusting that you have to be near them but we have heard that kids love bugs. They don’t take much to be able to take care of them

The down sides might be if your to quiet then they might be to loud and destorbe them. How Mr Mitchell solves it is knocking on the glass but it doesn't always work. The other thing is the kids might not like bugs and start to scream while they run as far away as they can (definitely not like me).

This is all I have to say but maybe if you don’t agree 7mt might try next year. Then we will have the turtles.

Yours Sincerely

Emily, from 7mt

With all of this said you would think that we would want the frogs but we have had them in the class all year had have gotten annoyed of their crocks because it distracted our work. It was a complicated to get her but it was worth it in the end.
