Helpful Hints for Chapter 2

10/27/2010

 
When learning Chapter 2, I would recommend taking your time and reviewing your notes more than ever. Most people would think that probability is easy, but now it has a new spin. In this chapter, it asks you more in depth questions than just what happens when you spin a spinner. In fact, some of the critical thinking questions are very difficult. An example is number 45 on page 106. I found this problem to be difficult, but I got through it by taking my time and checking my work. My advice is to just take your time and remember to read the problem carefully and repeatedly to get all of the important information.

Do you need a way to remember all of the properites?
