Who likes Probability?? (2 Viewers)

Does this unit piss anyone else off or is it just me?

Why is it even taught? Do they want us to become professional gamblers after the HSC or something.

LOL! I hate it too, mainly because it's almost impossible in probability to be 100% sure to get the question right.

That's exactly why I hate it! And tree diagrams?? Argh, so frustrating. I swear, if they ask a question in my trials involving the probability of coloured marbles I will shoot someone.

Seriously, always colours of marbles :mad1:

Sometimes it can be confusing but I find it alright.

More likely the opposite, to show how the odds are against us lol

[annabackwards]

Probablility is my most hated subject too... the questions are somethings just to vague and confusing!

 

[ehtefaz.hedayet]

i h8 probability, but it is important based on society i guess

 

[louy]

It was difficult at first. But its not too bad.
Just need to learn the process step by step and understand it.

If you can follow the process for one pass paper, and understand that, you should be able to apply to any question or scenario

HAHA! Perfect way of putting it

Even my maths tutor hates it and questions why it's on the syllabus.. Maybe I should be thankful it isn't calculus or something else 'Mathematics' people have to do.

 

[maryBRAHS]

[xxheersaletixx]

yeah I hate it because it's annoying, but on the other hand, I like it because everyone's bad at it.

 

[Iruka]

I have to teach it. I always hate it, too.

The weird thing is, Gen maths probability is harder than 2 unit, cause the 2 unit students don't do perms and combs.
