As we listen to our statistics teacher many ideas are linking in my mind.  One of this is the result of my performance that are being showed and reflected on report cards.  I wish i could express this ideas and say something to my teacher.

Students Prayer

To our teacher who teaches us stat

listen to our prayer,

Our examinations they have to come 

and results reflected on cards

Give us on that day a chance to pass 

And forgive us for copying 

As we forgive those who copy form us 

And lead us not into 70s and 75s 

But help us to get an 85s or better 

Amen.

Thank you for listening and may we have a better understanding.  Good luck for our performances.

Probability of Twins

                                         No idea

Ok, so I didn't match any of the criteria. I am 30, never been pregnant before, absolutely no family history on my side of twins and it was only our third month trying. I am now 22 week pregnant with two boys, everything is separate so they tell me they are most likely fraternal, but I guess I won't know for sure until we get them tested. It still overwhelms me a little, it was just never something I ever imagined for myself!

Natural/Runs in family

Before I even got pregnant my dad had mentioned twins ran in his side of the family, didn't pay much attention. So when I found out I was having twins and they were identical I began asking my dad questions. Apparently his Aunt on his mom's side had identical girls, then one of them had identicals as well. I'm third generation on my side and the first one to have twins since then, since the late 60's early 70's. I had never met those twins but it was a HUGE shock to find out we were having identical twins. I know they say its not genetic, but I believe it had to do something with that. I also had an abortion last year, for my own reasons, and I just feel this is god's way of giving me back that child I gave up. In a taunting loving way, I am thrilled to be having identical boys!

I believe that God gives twins

I believe that God gives twins. I am so happy to read all the responses and in particular, the ones that mention prayer and blessings. I believe that God gives twins even where it is not hereditary and I look forward to the day it will happen to me too.

Wished for twins

I'm 31, planned for a second pregnancy. I prayed to God for twins...and got them. Expecting soon!

Why I had Twins

This was my 5th pregnancy,after two miscarriages prior to getting pregnant with fraternal twin boys. I am 35 years old. I was also told this was the 5th set of fraternal twins on my mothers side. This is just coincidence but my brother and his wife also had a set of boy/girl fraternal twins as well,which I thought was pretty neat. Im not quite sure what caused my twin exactly but I believe it was a number of factors all mixed together. Age,number of pregnancies,and running in the family (which I did not know this and never met them nor have I ever seen pictures) but this was told to me from my grandmother. Most females on my mothers side of the family have had hysterectomies before the age of 30 too for some reason. I have been lucky to avoid that one. The only medical problem I have been diagnosed with is that I have cysts on both ovaries. Two on the left and one on the right,when I was 25 years old.

I KNOW YOU SHOULD NEVER QUESTION GOD, BU

I knew twins ran on my mothers side of the family. I talked to my dads sister after finding out I was having twins 10/19/11 and she told me twins also ran on my dads side of the family, I never knew that. After telling my kids dad I was having twins bng thats when he told me, oh I forgot to tell you twins run on my side of the family as well. I have two other daughters that are 3yrs/5yrs old they are 23mos apart their b-day is 3weeks apart. People always ask me if they are twins they are almost the same height and they both wear the same size clothes which are girls 4/5-5/6. When I found out I was having bng twins I cried for days well really months. I said how could I ever take care of them, but GOD knows whats ahead we don't. I can't wait to get back to church with my twins and my other daughters. I look at this as GOD getting my attention since all the other situations I got myself into did not wake me up or get my attention.

Facts on the History of Probability and its Origins

Probability has a dual aspect: on the one hand the probability or likelihood of hypotheses given the evidence for them, and on the other hand the behavior of stochastic processes such as the throwing of dice or coins. The study of the former is historically older in, for example, the law of evidence, while the mathematical treatment of dice began with the work of Pascal and Fermat in the 1650s.

Probability is distinguished from statistics. While statistics deals with data and inferences from it, (stochastic) probability deals with the stochastic (random) processes which lie behind data or outcomes.

Origins...

Ancient and medieval law of evidence developed a grading of degrees of proof, probabilities, presumptions and half-proof to deal with the uncertainties of evidence in court. In Renaissance times, betting was discussed in terms of odds such as "ten to one" and maritime insurance premiums were estimated based on intuitive risks, but there was no theory on how to calculate such odds or premiums.

The mathematical methods of probability arose in the correspondence of Pierre de Fermat and Blaise Pascal (1654) on such questions as the fair division of the stake in an interrupted game of chance. Christiaan Huygens (1657) gave a comprehensive treatment of the subject.

Facts came from Wikipedia...

I was amazed that Probabilities was already used in the early times. It was such an information to know that what we are learning right now had their beginnings from the  ancient and medieval times.

AUGUSt 27, 2012

On August 27 our teacher gave us a quiz about Z-test and T-test for the mean. Well, we were surprised but because we answered an exercise about the topic it served as our review and so the test became a little bit easy.

August 2-Overall Lessons for the 1st grading period

            For the past two months, Ms. Macatigos had finished discussing all the topic for the 1st grading period. I believe that our teacher had done her part in educating us students. And as a result, we have learned many things.We have learned the following lessons:
         
         *Probability
         *Probability Distribution: Mean, Variance, Standard deviation
         *Discrete Probability Distribution
         * Normal Distribution
         *Central Limit Theorem
         *Normal Approximation to Binomial Distribution
         *Confidence intervals for the mean- z test
         *Confidence intervals for the mean- t test
         *Confidence intervals for proportions, variances and standard deviation
         *Hypothesis and critical values
         *Z- test and T-test for the mean


         And last Thursday and Friday, we had taken our first departmental test in all subjects. We are very nervous in taking the test because all of our teacher are expecting us to apply the things that we have learned. But we are very grateful that our teacher in statistics had provided the formula at the back of our test paper so that it will be easy for us to answer the 50-item test given in a particular time. We all hope that our score will be high and if not high we all hope that it's a passing score.
