Everything is Number
April 23rd, 2007 . by Vanaja
Pythagoras had the habit of thinking about the numbers always. He had a passion for numbers.
He mentioned each number has its own qualities like this:-
- One: It represents reason. It is the source of all numbers
- Two: Represents Man
- Three: Represents Woman
- Four: It represents justice because it is the product of two equal numbers
- Five: Represents wedding. Because it is the sum of 2(Man) and 3(Woman)

So does that mean that you can students in Year 8 as well? At school, we are currently learning year 9 mathematics. If I have a problem, will you reply to pupils as young as me?
Ofcourse. You are most welcome.
Feal free to ask me your doubts and problems.
I need some help with my grade 9 probability questions and would be so grateful if you can answer soon. The topic is on Probability and I’m finding it difficult. There are these questions that I don’t understand:
1. For Year 9 students, 20% have a shoes size greater than 10 1/2, but 95% have a shoe size less than 11 1/2. What is the chance of a Year 9 student having a shoe size:
a) Less than or equal to 10 1/2
b) 11 1/2 or larger
c) between 10 1/2 and 11 1/2.
2. If a die is rolled twelve times, how many times, on average, would you expect the result to be:
a) a six?
b) an odd number?
c) a number greater than 2?
3. A survey of Kylie Crescent shows that 20% of the families have 1 child, 45% have 2 children, 15% have 3 children and 10% have more than 3 children. What is the probability that a family has chosen at random will have:
a) 2 children?
b) more than 2 children?
c) at least 2 children?
d) no children?
I apologize for the amount of questions I am asking of you but I have extreme difficulty with the topic and I really want someone to enlighten me about this.
Thank you for your help and I can’t wait to receive your reply.
