Expected Value

Expected value changes the way we make decisions by making us think about all the possible outcomes regarding a situation and helps us make the best decision out of all of the different outcomes.

Extra Credit Post

One thing I could have done to better prepare for the test is to spend more time going over the material. One area I believe I need to work on is solving for X with shapes and lines.

conditional statement

Conditional statement: If Morgan runs every morning than she is on the cross country team. This statement is false because the hypothesis is true but the conclusion is false.

Inverse: If Morgan doesn't run every morning than she isn't on the cross country team. This is true because is she doesn't run she can't be on the running team.

Converse: If Morgan is on the cross country team than she runs every morning. This statement is true because if she is on the cross country team she has to run.

Contrapositive: If Morgan isn't on the cross country team than she doesn't run every morning. This statement is false because she can still run even if she isn't on the cross country team.

What I like about math

I like math because it reminds me of a puzzle that is complicated to solve and provides a challenge to me. It's a challenge for me because I'm not the best at math, if I'm being honest it's probably my worst subject. However I love working the different problems even though most of the time I get frustrated and want to give up. I keep working at the problem and break it down and solve it one piece at a time like a puzzle.
