Possible outcomes and making predictions

Hi Friends, In today's tutoring session we will focus on Possible outcomes and making predictions. Possible Outcome of an event or making predictions in any event are relatively similar terms, as in both the cases one has to look at the likelihood or relative frequency for something to happen, Predicting what will happen is a valuable real thinking skill of any person which helps him get closer to the possibility of an event.
While concluding about the possible outcomes one must also take care about how he/she is making predictions in them and this ways the objective of getting closer to the reality of the event can be achieved, generally these type of problems are practiced with grade V students.
Now, let us take few examples with which we can be closer to the in predicting the Probability of Occurrence of an Event.
1. If an individual has a choice of picking 3 Shirts, 5 Jeans and 4 Shoes, predict how many different outfits one can be in (assuming nothing can be picked more than once).
In such case we can see that the possible number will be= 3*5*4.
2. If a day, has to be chosen from the month of September ( 30 days ) having 3 in the date, what is the possibility of that day to occur ?, this can be easily seen that possibility is 4/ 30 ( 3, 13, 23 and 30 ).
Have you ever thought that in your day to day life you come across so many things which run on the principle of prediction, for instance say weather forecast, Stock markets, the environment etc.? The generation and analysis of data is becoming extremely prevalent in today’s world, where data is generated at the occurring of every event and thus making it extremely important to use this data properly to do, the proper prediction of any particular event.

Mean and median in Maths

Hello friends today we are going to learn some topics of Statistics included in Grade V of Karnataka state board. To understand about statistics we have to learn about two important terms which are Mean and median. Mean, Median the two kinds of most common averages and are used very commonly in Statistics.
Definition of Mean: Mean means average where addition of all numbers is done and then we divide it by total amount of the numbers .
Example1:
Find the Mean: 13, 52, 2, 13
sum is: 80
Divide 80 by 4: 20
'Mean'  = 20
Definition of Median: It is the middle value from the list of the numbers arranged in the numerical order. After arranging list into increasing order we have to check the numbers of the list, if it is odd the median is the middle number in the list .If Total of list is even then median is equal to sum of the middle two numbers divided by two
Examples for calculating Median
Example 1:8, 2, 43, 16, 14 (Odd Numbers)
Line up numbers in increasing Order: 2, 8, 14, 16, 43
Median : 14 (The number in the middle)
Example 2:
Find  Median : 8, 2, 43, 16, 14, 6 (Even amount of numbers)
Line up : 2,6,8,14,16,43(Increasing Order)
Add the 2 middle numbers and divide by 2:- 14, 8=(14+8)/2=22/2=11
The Median is 11.
Solved Problem:
Find the mean, median of the following numbers:
12, 17, 12, 13, 12, 15, 13, 20, 14
Mean =(12 + 17 + 12 + 13 + 12 + 15 + 13 + 20 + 14) ÷ 9 = 14.2
Median=12, 12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20 = 13
Hope you understood about Mean and Median with the help of Explained Examples.

Elapsed time is the time between the start time and end time. Elapsed time in 10am to 2pm is 4 hours as the time present in between the start time 10 am and end time 2pm is 4 hours. Elapsed time is calculated by counting the number of hours within the start time and end time. While calculating the elapsed time it is always important to notice the time unit whether it is morning (am) or evening (pm).AM means anti- meridiem and PM means post-meridiem which is nothing but 12:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. respectively.
A.M is the part of the day that starts immediately after mid night which is morning and P.M is the part of the day that starts immediately after mid day and that is afternoon. A.M. and P.M. are generally used in twelve hour clock, in order to avoid confusion many use a 24 hour clock in which 1 P.M is referred to as 13^th hour and so on till the 24^th hour of the day. Here are a few examples to show elapsed time clearly:

S.NO	START TIME	END TIME	ELAPSED TIME
1	06.00 PM	8.30 PM	2 HOURS 30 MINUTES
2	04.00 AM	10.30 AM	6 HOURS 30 MINUTES
3	03.00 PM	12.00 AM	9 HOURS

Temperature is a property through which heat is measured. A body is said to be at low temperature if it is cold. It is measured in degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit’s body is said to be at a high temperature if it is hot. Heat always flows from a hot body to a cold body. When a hot metal is placed in cold water the heat from the hot metal flows into the water and the water becomes hot and the metal becomes cold after some time this is because of flow of heat from the metal to the water which is nothing but transfer of energy. As heat is a form of energy it flows from a hot body to a cold body (also read Newtons law of cooling formula). The concept of temperature is used very often in our daily life. We measure the weather condition through degrees of temperature and also temperature of our body is again an important concept which we see in a daily life. The normal temperature of human body is considered to 98.6 degrees Celsius, if the temperature is above or even 100 degrees Celsius then it means that the person is suffering from fever and high temperature occurs only when someone suffers any diseased condition. Water forms ice when it is at zero degrees Celsius, when ice is heated (which means that the temperature of ice is increased) then, it forms water. Fahrenheit and Celsius are the scales used to measure temperature. Heat is an energy that transfers itself from one body to another. It is a form of kinetic energy in an object or a substance. Even though temperature and heat are almost the same they are not the same .the difference between temperature and heat is temperature is form of internal energy that is present in a system while heat is form of energy that is transferred from one body to another. Heat flows but temperature does not flow it remains in the same body. Temperature is measured using a thermometer or a calorimeter. The Kelvin scale is a scale used to measure temperature in physics. When it is adjusted to zero degrees Kelvin then is called as absolute zero in physics. Math Problems based on conversion of one unit of temperature to another are given in physics and chemistry. K = °C +273 this is the formula used for kelvin.98.6 °F = 37.0°C = 310 K where F is Fahrenheit’s is Celsius or centigrade and K is Kelvin.

Math Blog on Probability and Statistics

Hello students, As a Tutor, I am going to discuss about Probability and Statistics. In mathematics, an average of a statistical data is value representation of entire data. Statistics deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data. In other sense, statistics means data, the word data means information or set of given set in numerical figures in which we study mean, median and mode that are calculated on the set of data.
Some limitation of statistics
1.      Statistics deals with group and does not deal with individuals.
2.      Statistical laws are not precise. They are accurate on average only.
Now, we will discuss about Probability. Probability shows the uncertainty of occurrence of an event. Probability is used in many fields like :- commerce, science, whether forecasting etc.
Rule for probability: in mathematically, we have
Probability of an event A i.e. P(A) =a/b
Where a =number of favorable to the occurrence of A
b = total number of possible sample and
a-b = number of unfavorable to the occurrence of A.
We also notice that
P(A) =P( inverse of A) =(a/b)+(a-b)/a = 1 i.e. P(A) +P(not A) =1
Now, we take some examples for solving problem on probability.
Example 1:- a die is thrown once. Describe the sample space (s).1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
1.      What is the probability that the number ‘1’ turns up?
2.      What is the probability an odd number turns up?

Solution (1) :- the sample space : 1,2,3,4,5, 6
Since there are 6 equal parts likely number of probability of getting 1 is:
P(1) = number of events/total number of samples =1/6
Solution (2) :- let A=(an odd number) =1,3,5 so x(A) = 3
Probability of getting odd numbers= x(A)/x(s) =3/6 =1/6

grade V

In this section we all are going to discuss about geometry help and lines of symmetry which are usually studied in grade V. Here I am going to tell you the best way of understanding these topics.Now let us start with basics about geometry:
Geometry is on the whole about the points, lines, angles, areas, volumes etc. And to learn it we should keep some points in our mind. A point is represented as a dot in a plane, a line is described as the collection of points, a line does not have any end point, a line segment is a part of line that has two end points, a ray is defined as a line which starts from a point and extends in a direction forever, when two rays start from same point then they form an angle between them, plane can be defined as a flat surface that extends forever. Triangle, circle, quadrilateral, polygons etc. are the examples of geometrical shapes.
Now let us talk in detail about Lines of symmetry. When an image or a figure is folded from the middle and if the half part is completely symmetric to the other half part or in other words one half part is mirror image of the other part then that figure or image is said to be symmetric. And when you unfold that figure or image you will see a line of crease, that line is known as line of symmetry. Let’s see lines of symmetry of some shapes.
Lines of symmetry of triangles:
In a triangle we can have 3, 1 or 0 number of lines of symmetry.
                          
Equilateral triangle ( having all sides and angles equal )
It has 3 lines of symmetry.
                     
Isosceles triangle ( having two sides and angles equal )
It has 1 line of symmetry
                
Scalene triangle ( having no sides and angles equal )
It has no lines of symmetry

Lines of symmetry of quadrilaterals:
There are many types of quadrilaterals

                 
Square ( having all sides and angles equal and also all angles are 90 degrees )
It has 4 lines of symmetry.
         
             
Rectangle ( having opposite sides equal and all angles are 90 degrees )
It has 2 lines of symmetry.

            
Irregular Quadrilateral
It has no lines of symmetry

                  
Kite
It has 1 line of symmetry.

                     
Rhombus ( having all sides equal in length )
It has 2 lines of symmetry.

Lines of symmetry of regular polygons:
In a regular polygon we have all sides and angles equal to each other.

                                       
Regular Pentagon ( having 5 sides )
It has 5 lines of symmetry

                 
Regular Hexagon ( having 6 sides )
It has 6 lines of symmetry

               
Regular Heptagon ( having 7 sides )
It has 7 lines of symmetry

                  
Regular Octagon ( having 8 sides )
It has 8 lines of symmetry

Lines of symmetry of circles:
A circle has infinite number of lines of symmetry and the lines of symmetry must be go through the radius of circle.

Number systems in Grade V

Welcome children! In earlier classes we have studied about Number systems. In Math Grade V of Karnataka state board sslc syllabus we will study more about them.
We know that all counting numbers are called natural numbers. But any time we need to measure some units like weight, length or capacity of any container, we usually start from 0.
This series of numbers starting from 0, 1, 2, 3... up to infinite is called a series of whole numbers.
So we can say that whole numbers are measuring numbers and natural numbers are counting numbers. Number system in math has a very important role to play in our life.
In fact our life revolves around the numbers

If we need to count the number of students in a class, or number of books in your bag we always start the counting by 1 not by zero (0).
 Now let us look at some common properties of numbers.
1. Zero (0) is called Additive Identity, which means if we add or subtract zero to any number, the result remains unchanged.
      E.g. 45 + 0 = 45 and 37 - 0 = 37
2. One (1) is called multiplicative identity, which means if we multiply or divide any number by 1, the result remains unchanged.
 E.g.: 65 * 1 = 65 and 24 / 1 =24
 3 . Both addition and multiplication satisfies closure property, which means if any two natural numbers or whole numbers are added or multiplied, the sum and the
        Product is also a natural number. E.g. 2  + 5 = 7. Here 2 and 5 are added to give 7.
        We can observe that 2 and 5 are natural numbers and the sum is also a natural number.
        Similarly  2  *  5 = 10. Here 2 and 5 are multiplied to give 7.
        We observe can that 2 and 5 are natural numbers and the product 10 is also a natural number

Problems on sum of angles for Grade V

Hello kids, in this math solver blog, we will discuss about Problems on sum of angles for Math Grade V. Before, we move to the topic, it is necessary to know about the angles. An angle is created when two lines or two rays meet at a point. The rays are called the sides of the angle. Now I am going to tell you about the different types of Problems on sum of angles. The different angles are Central Angle, Complementary Angles, Congruent Angles, Corresponding Angles, Interior Angles and Exterior Angles. Let us talk about about these angles one by one. (also read on consecutive exterior angles)
Central Angle: - Central angle of a circle is formed by two lines (radius) and circle consists of arcs and central angles. The value of central angle is measured with the help of the arc length and the radius.
Complementary Angles: - If the sum of the two angles is 90⁰ they are called Complementary Angles and if the sum of two angles is 180⁰ than they are called supplementary angles. Consider an angle of 26⁰. Supplementary angle of 26⁰ is 154⁰ as 26⁰ + 154⁰ = 180⁰.
Congruent Angles: - if two angles have the equal measure then these two angles is said congruent. Angles play an extensive role in geometry. Most of geometric figures are classified based on their angles.



Corresponding Angles:-When two parallel lines cut by a straight line at different points then Corresponding Angles are formed.
Interior Angles: - Angle measures at the interior part of an enclosed shape are called as interior angle. That shapes play a vital part in geometry. Simply interior angles are the plane figure that is formed at the vertex, where two rays meet. Every shape in geometry possesses interior and exterior angles.
Exterior Angles:- Exterior Angles  is the angle between a side of a polygon and an adjacent side or any angle formed by line cutting across two other lines and located on the outside the lines. These are the angles some basic angles which are generally used for solving the angles problems.
Now I am going to tell you about Polygon and formulas for Sum of Angles. Usually polygon is a 2-D closed figure that consists of three or more than three line segments. The lines that shape a polygon are called its sides. The point where two successive sides of a polygon meet is called the vertex. The total space inside the boundary is called as the area of a polygon and the area is measured in terms of square unit.  Polygon area is usually calculated using the side length of a polygon. There are many types of polygons: Complex Polygon, Concave Polygon, Congruent Polygons, Convex Polygon, Irregular Polygon and Perimeter of a Polygon.
