    Two Important Mathematical Events The period around 700 BC is very important in the advancement of the various areas of modern mathematics, including geometry, algebra, and arithmetic. Mainly, the period coincides with the Greek civilization that was accompanied by substantial socioeconomic, cultural, and political developments. Consequently, the influence of the Greek civilization on the different fields of learning, including science, arts, philosophy, and politics, formed a basis for western

    Question 1: Faith inculcation can work in a variety of different ways, but the main two are by social exposure and through important life events. If asked, anyone will say their faith was influenced by either major figures in their life or an event that caused them to look at the world differently. My belief is that there is no one way that someone gains his or her view of faith. It can be influenced by countless conditions in which a single person experiences. Furthermore, when it comes to religion

    because the questions are independent of each other. 6. Explain the difference between independent and dependent events. Dependent events are linked to another event, while independent events are single events. 7. Provide an example of experimental probability and explain why it is considered experimental. Experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of times the event occurs to the total number of trials. Example: Patrick flipped a number cube 40 times. A 5 appeared 10 times

    4. Probability of recurrence: In the present study, three stochastic models (Weibull, Gamma and Lognormal) have been used for the estimation of probability of earthquake recurrence in Gujarat region of India which was rocked by the great earthquake in 2001. The earthquake data of the region has only five recurrence intervals of earthquakes magnitude ≥ 6 for the period of study, from 1819 to 2001, and is listed in Table 1. The estimated mean, standard deviation and aperiodicity (equivalent to the

    exclusive events, The sum of Separate probabilities likely to be one event occur or another. Example: Place 100 marbles in a box; 35 blue, 45 red, and 20 yellow. P(blue)=.35 P(red)=.45 P(yellow)=.20 What is the probability of choosing either a red or a yellow marble from the box? P(red or yellow) = P(red)+ P(yellow) = .45+.20 = .65 The multiplicative law of probabilities The multiplicative law of probability is defined as the probability of the joint occurrence of two or more of the events which

    is the final strand of the Australian curriculum relating to mathematics. Students using probability are “experimenting various theoretical approaches”- Australian Curriculum (2016). Probability is when you divide the number of outcomes in which an event can occur by the number of possible outcomes (Lakin, 2010, p.p131). My experience and knowledge has expanded while studying probability in this unit. It has been developed in activities such as MathSpace and WIKA (appendix m). MathSpace helped me
