Randomness - Logarithms
Posted 12-06-2005 at 09:36 PM by microsoft/linux
I took a quiz on logarithms today in Pre-Calc./Trig.(See Mathworld for more information, in case anyone's rusty :))
Any way...I finished before everyone else in the class. Now normally this would be a good thing. I'm a pretty good test taker, and normally math doesn't bother me. This year however has been different, it's been rough, but I've been maintaining a C.
Basically, my finishing early could mean one of two things:
1)I really knew the material
2)I really didn't know the material, and I bombed it
It worries me is all.
UPDATE: I actually got a 35 out of 45, even though I got every single answer right. It was just stupid little things like not writing a step down, or not doing something the way she wants it done(writing out sentences for answers to word questions, etc.) 77%

Lynx, thanks, If I ever drop below a C, I'll let you know. I'm actually not too worried about it, but I appreciate the offer.

Yay for math classes. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know:
"A given sample of a radioactive material emits an average of 4 alpha particles per hour. What is the probability that, in a given hour, it will emit 4 or more particles?"Posted 12-31-1969 at 07:00 PM by microsoft/linux
