Statistics

 

Today and yesterday for maths we had to compare 2 variables, our student teacher gave us one variable which was hours of sleep and we had to compare that to another variable of our choice. My group had chosen height since it’s only between our selves and the people in our group which is much easier to analyse and collect data from. There were other choices for the other variable and the options were: Gender and age, are for people that want to collect data and analyse the whole class. Height and well being plus others, for those who just wanted easier ones to do themselves.

 

We learnt about PPDAC on Monday, which we didn’t know about and we found out what each stood for, P stands for problem, the other P stands for Plan, D stands for Data, A stands for Analyse and C stands for conclusion.

 

 

The Black Cat

The Black Cat 

It was a thunderous night, while I was in a rush to work. I suddenly slipped on the concrete and hit my head. It started to bleed out and suddenly I was unconscious on the ground with no one around. By the time I woke up I was in the same position on the concrete but this time I didn’t know where I was. It looked like I was in this alley with this black cat just wandering around. He had no collar, no owner, no nothing. He must have been a stray cat. I didn’t care much about that, what I cared about more was where I was and what time it was. I was about to check my watch but then I realised it wasn’t there. “This is strange,” I got up off the ground and started to walk out of the alley. I got anxious because I got negative vibes around here.
