If you have a teacher who gives test taken from the textbook manufacturer, it's more problematic. The solution would be to make an appointment to go in and review the material at the school. Annoying, but it would work. For me? I'd just give you the test. With most of the credit coming from the work,I don't really care if you know what I'm going to ask. If you can memorize the amount of work that needs to be shown on one of my tests, that in and of itself is worth something.maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-54971983746316385622013-09-24T17:51:23.063-07:002013-09-24T17:51:23.063-07:00https://www.khanacademy.org/math/probability/rando...https://www.khanacademy.org/math/probability/random-variables-topic/binomial_distribution/v/binomial-distribution-1#!Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-3587647528981328252013-09-24T14:08:34.292-07:002013-09-24T14:08:34.292-07:00What does that mean?What does that mean?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-15236046892109387602013-09-24T10:14:49.887-07:002013-09-24T10:14:49.887-07:00Each of the probabilities is binomial.Each of the probabilities is binomial.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-17844412383867453892013-09-24T00:15:55.771-07:002013-09-24T00:15:55.771-07:00How do you compute P(X>3) = 1-[P(X=1) + P(X=2) ...How do you compute P(X>3) = 1-[P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3)]?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-77138530203741368722013-09-23T12:33:58.434-07:002013-09-23T12:33:58.434-07:00Darren: "Anonymous: I understand the issue of...Darren: "Anonymous: I understand the issue of not returning tests."<br /><br />In a math class?

However, a student should definitely be told what topics he/she did well on and which ones he/she did *not* do well on. If the teacher is withholding *that* information, your only alternative would be to talk to either a vice/assistant principal or the principal him/herself.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-48443363714492952412013-09-23T06:23:15.287-07:002013-09-23T06:23:15.287-07:00What is a DD?What is a DD?Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-14907067408710402942013-09-23T05:59:20.314-07:002013-09-23T05:59:20.314-07:00Hi, this is totally off topic, but I could use som...Hi, this is totally off topic, but I could use some advice. My sophomore daughter is taking Algebra II. She did mediocre on the first exam. I would like to get the test back from the teacher so that my dd could go over the material, see what she did wrong and learn/relearn the material she clearly didn't understand the first time. <br /><br />The teacher doesn't return tests. Any suggestion on how my DD could learn the material with getting the test back?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-6423570564552525032013-09-23T02:42:24.040-07:002013-09-23T02:42:24.040-07:00Nerd. ;)Nerd. ;)maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-35040362209247112372013-09-22T17:48:13.893-07:002013-09-22T17:48:13.893-07:00Probability they match is 1/4 so probability they ...Probability they match is 1/4 so probability they don't is 3/4.
