    Unfortunately some people feel the need to insult this man, regardless of the fact that he's going out of his time to help us. I want to apologise for these jerks who have nothing better to do, and thank you for all the help you've given me. Take care, Mr. Deacon.

    Last week, I did a question very similar to this on a test determining whether I would get into a higher level class or an ordinary level class for maths. I was very stressed and didn't know if I was right or not, and the stress caused me to have migraines. However my mum told me to look at your videos to help me understand the topic better and it appears I did it correct!!! You have lifted a great deal of stress and tension from my shoulders, thank you for the great video!! 😊

    how come sir the probability for straw yogurt for the second round was not 2/6 as all probabilities add to one?

    • @3minutemaths
      @3minutemaths  8 лет назад +1

      Hi - in the second round they will add to one. So, if she picked straw first time:
      2/6 (straw) + 4/6 (peach) = 1
      If she picked peach first time:
      3/6 (straw) + 3/6 (peach) = 1
      Hope this helps and all best S :-)

    Hi, thanks for clear explanation. I have Question please. if yo walk me through it please.
    you work for a large Global management consulting company. of the entire workforce of analysts, 49% have had no experience in the telecommunication industry, 26% have had limited experience( less than five years) and the rest have had (five years or more) on a recent project you and two other analysts were chosen at random to constitute a team it turns out that part of the project involves telecommunications.
    1) The probability that the first teammate you meet has extensive telecommunication experience is :
    2) the probability that the first teammate you meet has some telecommunication experience is :
    3) the probability that the first teammate you meet has no more than limited telecommunication experience is:
    That would great if you solve this, thanks a lot.

      www.dropbox.com/s/lpqnk9fluv04eol/Probability%20Analysts%20%28Prob%20tree%29.JPG?dl=0
      To get the answers 1) is the LN,LS,LL adding together
      2) is the SN,SS,SL addition and 3) is the NN,NS,NL total.
      I hope this helps... it's not the full answer but might help?

    Number of years in the Future probability of oil price being sufficiently high extract oil.
    1 0.1
    2 0.25
    3 0.32
    4 0.45
    5 0.5
    calculate the probability that oil company will start extracting oil
    a. in year 1
    b in year 2
    c in year 3
    d in year 4

    • @3minutemaths
      @3minutemaths  9 лет назад

      +Sarvanga Regmi - Hi ... they work in a similar way, so 0.7 is the same as 7/10.
      You'll need to make sure that each 'dot' adds upto 1 so you might have two branches 0.7 & 0.3.
      To calculate the probabilities multiply the decimals.
      I'll post a video about this and let you know when done. All best S
