Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics CHAPTER 1 — NUMBER CONCEPTS 2
We use large numbers when we talk about distances in the universe, the number of cells or bacteria,
the memory in a computer, or the population of a country. For example, the population of Canada is
over 36 000 000 (thirty-six million) and the distance from Earth to the sun is about 146 000 000
kilometres (one hundred forty six million).
When these large numbers are written with digits, they are called numerals (example: 125 320 000).
When we read these numbers using words, they are called number words (example: one hundred
twenty five million three hundred twenty thousand).
To understand these large numbers better, it is important to know what the value of each digit is. We
do this with place value.
The number 2 538 094 is shown next with the place value for each of its digits.
When we describe the numeral with a number word, we combine the millions, the thousands, and the
tens and ones. The number word is two million five hundred thirty eight thousand ninety four.

Estimating Answers
Estimation is used when we don’t need an exact answer. For example, we may want to estimate how
much money to bring to the store to buy groceries, how much lawn seed is needed for a lawn, or how
much paint is needed to paint the house.
Rounding Numbers
It is helpful to round numbers before we estimate. If we estimate how much the groceries in our cart
will cost, we may want to round each item to the nearest dollar and then find the sum.
1. Go to the column immediately to the night of the digit representing the place value asked for.
2. Round up if the digit is 5 or greater (5 to 9) and leave it the same if it is less than 5 (0 to 4).
3. Replace digits to the right of the place value asked for with zero.

It is 4, so leave the tens digit the same and
replace digits to the right with zero. 230.000 or 230

Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics CHAPTER 1 —- NUMBER CONCEPTS 17
When we multiply two numbers together, each of the numbers is called a factor. The answer is called
the product. When we divide one number by another, the number we divide into is called the
dividend, the number we divide by is the divisor, and the answer is the quotient.
When we multiply a whole number greater than zero by another, the product is called a multiple of
that number.
Factor
A factor of a number is also a divisor of that number (a number that divides evenly into it).
Examples 1. Factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15 because they all divide evenly into 15.
2. Factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6 because the all divide evenly into 6.
3. Factors of 12 are. 12, 3,4, 6, and 12.
Prime Number
Prime numbers are numbers that have only two different factors (the number itself and 1).
Multiples
A multiple of a number is the product of that number times another non-zero whole number.
(7x1)
= fe x2) — 14; (7 x3) = 2157 x4) = 285 etc.

Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics CHAPTER 1 —- NUMBER CONCEPTS 18
A composite number is a non-zero whole number that is not a prime number and can be factored in
more than one way. All numbers that are not prime are composite (with the exception of 1 and 0).
Note: 1 and 0 are not prime and they are not composite.
| They are not prime because they cannot be shown as the product of only two different factors (1 can
be shown as 1 x 1, but they are not different factors, and 0 can be shown as the product of different
factors in more than one way 0 x 2,0 x 3, 0x 4, etc.).
1 is not composite because it cannot be factored in more than one way (1 can only be factored as 1 x 1
with non-zero whole numbers). Zero is not composite because zero times any whole number is zero,
which is not a non-zero number.

1.7 Ratio
What is a Ratio?
A ratio is a comparison between two things. If we have a bowl of apples and oranges, we can talk
about the ratio of apples to oranges. Order is important, so whatever object comes first, its number
must also come first.
Suppose you have 3 apples and 5 oranges. The ratio of apples to oranges is 3 to 5, and the ratio of
oranges to apples is 5 to 3.
A Ratio as a Fraction
A ratio compares one number to another, showing a relationship between the two. It is usually shown
as a fraction where the first number is the numerator and the second number is the denominator.
te : ‘we : by
Example: Ratio of7 to 11 is 71> fatio of5 to 7 is 7» and ratio of 8 to3 is 3°
Sometimes ratios are shown with a colon between the numbers, where the first is the numerator and
the second the denominator.

1.8 Percent
Meaning of Percent
Percent means "out of 100." The percent symbol (%) is a handy way to write a fraction with a
common denominator of 100. For example, instead of saying "70 out of every 100 moviegoers like
adventure movies,” we can say "70% of moviegoers like adventure movies.”
A percent can also be thought of as a part of a whole, expressed in hundredths (the number of parts
out of 100).
LI 79
Example: 700 ~ LIM So ann = 19% Oa
2 ILO 10S
100
To change from a fraction (without 100 as a denominator) to a percent, either re-write the fraction
with 100 as a denominator or divide the denominator into the numerator to change to decimal form.

There are different ways of performing the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division of numbers. To do this, first we will need to review some basic addition and subtraction
facts.
Basic addition and subtraction facts involve all combinations of 1-digit numbers. For addition, it
includes values for combinations such as 1+3, 5+4, and 13+7, and for subtraction, it includes values
for combinations such as 9 — 2, 15 — 8, and 19-1.

Answers
When you have numbers that are near doubles, you can make them into doubles by adding to or
subtracting rom one of them. After finding the total for the doubles, then add the amount you
subtracted or subtract the amount you added earlier.
a. 15+ 14: Add “1” to 14 to make the double 15 + 15 = 30, then subtract the “1” you added to
get 30 —1=29. (So 15+ 14=29.)
. 9+ 12: Add “3” to 9 to make the double 12 + 12 = 24, then subtract the “3” you added to get
24—3=21 (So9+12=21,)
17 — 12 : Subtract “5” from 17 to get the double 12 — 12 = 0, then add the “5” you subtracted to
getO+5=5 (So17-12=5.)

Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics CHAPTER 2 —- NUMBER OPERATIONS 51
Enrichment Example:
Find 17 + 38+ 9.
Add “3” to 17, “2” to 38, and “1” to 9 to get 20 + 40 +10 = 70.
Then subtract “3 + 2 + 1 = 6” from the total to get 70 — 6 = 64.
So 17+ 38+ 9= 64.
Addition
We can expand numbers using place value. For example, 235 is equal to 2 hundreds, 3 tens, and 5
ones. So 235 = 200 + 30 + 5.
We can add numbers by expanding them first, and then finding the sums of values with the same place
value.

Subtraction
We can also subtract numbers by expanding them first, and then finding the differences of values with
the same place value. Sometimes we need to borrow a digit with a higher place value.

Multiplication of Decimals
Products of Decimals and Whole Numbers using Front-end Estimation
We can estimate a product of a decimal and a whole number by rounding to the nearest whole number
and then calculating the product of the whole numbers.
Examples 1. Estimate the product of 15.3 x 6. Think 15x 6 = 90 (rounding 15.3 down to 15).
The exact product is greater than 90 since 15.3 > 15.
2. Estimate the product of 19.7 x 8. Think 20 x 8 = 160 (rounding 19.7 up to 20).
The exact product is less than 160 since 19.7 < 20.

What is a pattern?
In math, a pattern is a series or sequence of numbers, symbols, or objects that repeat according to a
rule.
Example: 4 as LT,
We can add additional figures to the above pattern. For example, Figure 4 would contain 7 objects
and Figure 5 would contain 9.
A set of figures or numbers form a pattern when there is a common relationship between pairs or
groups of them.
Below are examples of number and symbol patterns where the relationship of the pattern and the next
term or figure is shown.
s ‘The numbers’3; 5, 7, 9, 11, ... Each number is 2 greater The next number
than the one before it. would be 11 +2 = 13.
= Symbols such as the following Every set of symbols has one The next set would
ie Yow me pe we ye more than the set before it. contain 4 symbols in it.
« The pattern can involve position *® Each symbol is rotated 90° The next symbol

before it.
Growth in Patterns
If a pattern increases more in number or size each time a new term appears, it is growing.
Examples Je 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, ... Each new number increases or grows by 2.
oh Ee BR 8 edohne.
The difference between the first and second terms is 1. The difference between
the second and third terms is 2. The difference between the third and fourth

Patterns in Tables
Sometimes patterns of numbers can be found in tables, when there is a common rule (relationship)
between numbers in columns or rows.
Examples
Relationship
ecaneS Oat " Look at each pair of numbers in Column 1 and
in Column 2.
= Notice that 8 is 4 times 2, 12 is 4 times 3, 16 is
4 times 4, and 20 is 4 times 5.
The rule between each pair of numbers is that
the numbers in Column 2 are 4 times the value
of those in Column 1.

Questions to Address
What is a place holder? What is a variable? What does an equal sign mean? What is an expression?
What is an equation?
Finding answers to these and other questions will help us to develop thinking in the area of algebra.
A placeholder is a symbol, a sign, or a blank that stands in the place of a value that has a specific
meaning. In mathematics, a placeholder usually stands for a number, figure, or object that has
meaning when combined with other terms.
Following are several examples of place holders used with word sentences and mathematical
sentences. Symbols (boxes and triangles) are used as placeholders with these examples.
In the above examples we used the word “number” as a place holder in the word sentences and the
symbols “[_]” or “A” as place holders in the mathematical sentences.
If we replaced each place holder with a correct number we would have a true and complete sentence.
Examples
Twelve plus a number is equal to 15. Twelve plus three is equal to 15.
12+] = 15 12+B)=15
> 15=15
Four times a number is equal to 20. Four times five is equal to 20.
43a 12 4x|5]=20
> 20=20

Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics CHAPTER 4 —- VARIABLES AND EQUATIONS 127
What is a Variable?
A variable is a placeholder waiting for a value. However, instead of using a symbol such as a box or
triangle, a variable is usually represented by a letter.
Why switch from symbols to letters? Jt is because letters are better. For example, boxes come in only
a few shapes while there are many more letters to choose from. Not only that, but we can have the
letters stand for something.
Example:
The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = L x W (A stands for area, L for length, and W for
width). This makes more sense than using [ ]=Ax 00 for the area of a rectangle.
As mentioned in the previous example, the letter A stands for area, L for length, and W for width.
Using these letters instead of symbols provides more meaning to the formula, making it easier to
understand and to remember.
Now that we have variables, what do we do with them? Let’s think of several word and mathematical
sentences.
Following are examples of word sentences and two versions of mathematical sentences for each: one
with symbols as placeholders and the other with variables.
Mathematical Sentences
Word Sentences Symbols Variables
Two apples plus six apples is equal to eight 2[ ]+6[_] =8[ ] 2a + 6a= 8a
apples.
Note: we can’t combine different variables in the same sentence at this stage.
Two different variables in the same sentence will have meaning with different applications later
in this chapter.

In this section we will use variables in real applications. In this case, we will work with rectangles.
What is a Rectangle?
A rectangle is a four-sided shape with line segments as sides. The interior angles are right angles and
the opposite sides are of equal length. Several examples follow.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
The perimeter of any figure is the distance around it. To find the perimeter, we add the lengths of the
sides. Since the opposite sides of a rectangle are of equal length, we could look at the perimeter as
follows.

Area of a Rectangle
You might recall that area is a measure of the amount of “coverage” of a figure. It tells us how much
room a figure takes up. Examples include the area that a backyard takes up and the area that the top of
your desk takes up.
To find the area of a rectangle, we need to find out how many square units of “coverage” it has.
In general, the area of a rectangle can be found by finding the product of its length and width.

Examples
Use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find each area.
Solution
20 cm
Area = length x width
A=Ixw
8 cm 8 cm A=20x 8= 160
The area is 160 square centimetres.
Note: square centimetres can be shown as cm’,
so Area = 160 cm”.
Addition
3+4=7and4+3=7 So3+4=4+3
9+ 20 = 29 and 20 + 9 = 29 So9+20=20+9
2.5+6=8.5 and 6+2.5 =8.5 So 2.5+6=6+2.5
The above examples show that when we add numbers we can change the order. It is called the
commutative property of addition. In general, using variables, we can say thata+b=b+a.
Multiplication
3x4=12 and 4x3=12 So3x4= 4x3

We can use mathematical sentences with variables to show the relationship between numbers in
tables. By using this approach, we can generalize the relationship between pairs of terms in the tables
and generate additional pairs of numbers sharing the same relationship.
Examples
Look for the relationship between pairs of numbers in the following tables.
Solution
= Numbers in the 2" row are 3 times those in
the first.
Solution
= Numbers in the 2™ row are 1 more than 2
times those in the first.

If we were to multiply or divide each side of the money equation by the same number, we would still
have a true statement. This is called the preservation of equality under multiplication or division.
Examples
5¢+5¢+ 5¢+ 10¢ =25¢ The money equation on the left shows that
25¢ = 25¢.
2G eree ¢ + 10¢) = 2(25¢) Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2
50¢ = 50¢ preserves the equality (50¢ = 50¢).
(5¢+5¢+5¢ + 10¢)+5 =(25¢)+5 Dividing both sides of the equation by 5
S¢=5¢ preserves the equality (S¢ = 5¢).
Examples
b+11=20 b+11—11=20-11

In general, we can say that the area of a rectangle is equal to the number of units in one row times the
number of rows. Another way of saying this is that the area of a rectangle is equal to its length times
its width or:
A = length x width.

Solution: Solution:
Area = length x width Area = length x width

Remember that area involves two dimensions. As a result, we talk about square units. If we used
units such as centimetres or metres, the area would have been in square centimetres (cm”) or square
metres (m7).

Solution:
We know that both lengths are 5 units long and both widths are 3 units long, and that the
angles formed by the sides are right angles (90°).
Use graph paper and a ruler to draw a line segment that is 5 units long.
At both ends of the line segment, and at right angles to it, draw line segments that are 3 units
long.
Join the ends of the new line segments to complete the rectangle.
If the lengths had been in centimetres, instead of units on the graph paper, you would have
measured the lengths in centimetres with your ruler and drawn the rectangle in the same way.
2. Suppose you want to draw rectangles with a perimeter of 10 that have different lengths and
widths, each of which are whole numbers.
Solution:
= Twice the width plus twice the length is the perimeter, so the length plus the width is equal to
one half the perimeter. Look at different ways you can get lengths and widths that add up to 5.

Length
Length involves only one dimension. It is a measure of distance, or of how long a figure or object is.
Examples
How many arms lengths long is a piece of rope?
How many footsteps long is a living room?
How many thumb widths wide is this page?
These measures are rough estimates of length, as people of different sizes have different lengths for
their arms, feet, and thumbs. A more accurate way to measure length is to use standard units that are
the same for everyone. In Canada, we use the metric system to measure length.
The Metre
The basic unit of length is the metre (m). You can think of the following measures of length in terms
of about one metre.
About half the height of a door
The length of the top of your desk
The height of your dinner table
The width of a twin bed
The Kilometre
The kilometre (km) is another common measure of length. It is equal to 1000 metres. The following
distances can be thought of in terms of a kilometre.
The length of 9 or 10 football fields
A distance of about 6 blocks

Another common measure of length is the centimetre (cm). It is one hundredth of a metre. The
following objects can be thought of in terms of centimetres.
The length of a pen is about 15 cm.
The width of a quarter is about 2.5 cm.
The width of a loonie is about 3 cm.
The length of a 5-dollar bill is about 15 cm.
The Millimetre
The smallest standard unit of length that we will work with is called the millimetre (mm). It is one
tenth of a centimetre. The following objects can be thought of in terms of millimetres.
= The thickness of the lead in a pencil is about 1 mm.
= The height of the letters printed on this page is about 3 mm,

2. The object (rectangular prism) below has 6 blocks in each layer and it is 2 layers high. The
volume is 6 x 2 = 12 cubic units.
In order to determine the volume of a rectangular prism, we can either count the blocks or multiply
the length times the width times the height. Some units of measure for volume are cubic metres (m°),
cubic centimetres (cm*), and cubic millimetres (mm’).

We can see many examples of angles in everyday life. For example, the wall
of a room forms a right angle with the floor, and two walls in a rectangular
shaped room meet at right angles. The angle between the horizon and our line
of sight to the top of a tree is an angle somewhere between 0° and 90°. The
angle between a blackboard and the floor or ceiling is 90°.

Let’s look at the strengths and weaknesses of some of the most popular methods of collecting primary
data: questionnaires and interviews.
Questionnaires
Questionnaires are very popular, but they are difficult to design and they often require many rewrites
before an acceptable questionnaire is produced. They can cover a large number of people or
organizations, and they can be mailed or e-mailed. Questionnaires are also known as surveys.
Advantages Disadvantages
Examples:
1. Why should questionnaires be sent out to a Because there is typically a low response rate
large sample?
2. Why are questionnaire responses sometimes Because individual perceptions will affect their
not consistent with every respondent’s true responses and there is no opportunity to clarify a
belief? question
3. Why would a questionnaire be a good method _ Because you can cover a wide geographic area at
to collect information from students a low cost
throughout Ontario?

Developing a Questionnaire
Identify an area of interest about your classmates on which you would like to collect
information (such as what influences your decision on which restaurant you like to go to).
1. Determine a set of questions to ask about your area of interest (type offood, cost,
service, convenience or location).
Determine the best format for each of your questions (yes/no, multiple choice,
rating, open ended).
Describe the purpose of your survey and the closing comments (to determine what
influences classmates the most in selecting a restaurant).
Write a clear set of instructions (circle response, check your answer, rate from I to
5 in terms of importance where | is not important at all and 5 is very important).
Ask your family and friends (who are not in class) to review the questionnaire for
clarity, purpose, and relevance.

Interviews
Interviews are used to gain an understanding of the reasons for people’s attitudes, preferences, or
behaviour. Interviews can be done one-to-one or in a group. They can be personal and carried out at
work, at home, in the street, in a shopping centre, or at some other agreed location, or they can be
done over the phone.
Advantages Disadvantages
yields high quality data very high cost

materials : ‘ :

high response rate ice ; 5
8 iY need to avoid interviewer bias
possible in-depth questions ocaeiineaminliane
A semi-structured interview is designed to ask certain questions, but it allows the respondent to
express him or herself at length.
An unstructured interview could be called an in-depth interview. The interviewer begins by asking a
general question and the respondent is encouraged to talk freely. The direction of the interview is
determined by the respondent’s initial reply, and the interviewer asks for more details. “Why do you
say that?” ’That’s interesting. Tell me more.” “Do you have anything else to add?”
Examples
1. Which type of personal interview gives Unstructured, since the interviewer can probe
the greatest opportunity for the responses for more details

response? (structured, semi- structured,
or unstructured)
2. Which type of personal interview would Structured, since the questions to each

Designing an Interview
The following steps could be used to design an interview.
1. Write down the areas in which you require information.
2 Select the type of interview.
3 Develop questions to ask for each of the areas.
4. Try the questions out on a classmate, friend, or relative.
5 Make an appointment with the respondent(s); include details of what the interview is about and
how long it will take.
6. Arrange a location and time.
Conducting an Interview
Once you have designed the interview and contacted respondents, look at the following step-by step
guide for conducting it.
Personal Conduct
= Be sure to arrive on time, smile and employ good manners, and find a balance between
friendliness and objectivity.
Beginning the Interview
= Introduce yourself and review the purpose, assure that responses will be kept confidential, and
if relevant, specify what will happen to the information.
Asking the Questions
# Speak slowly in a soft, yet audible tone of voice control your body language; know the
questions and topic ask all the questions.
Recording Responses
= Record responses as you go on the questionnaire. If agreed beforehand, you could tape the
interview for review later.
After the Interview
= Ask the respondents if they want any further details about the study and be sure to thank them.
Activity: Develop Your Own Interview
1. Write down the areas in which you require information.
2. Select the type of interview (e.g. structured, semi-structured, unstructured).
3. Develop questions to ask for each of the areas.
4. Try the questions out on a classmate, friend or relative.
5 . Make an appointment with the respondent(s) — include details of what the
interview is about and how long it will take.
. Arrange a location and time.

Telephone Interviews
Another way to conduct interviews is on the telephone. Telephone interviews are used by research
companies to collect information about consumer preferences or opinions about political and other
issues.
Advantages Disadvantages

Line Graphs
A good way to review how two pieces of information are related and how they vary based on one
another is with a line graph. A line graph is useful for displaying data or information that changes
continuously over time.
Example: The line graph below shows Jennie’s mass each year from 2001 to 2007.
Kilograms
in
Mass
Title: The title of the line graph tells us what the graph is about. In the above case, it is about
Jennie’s mass each year from 2001 to 2007.
Labels: The horizontal label across the bottom and the vertical label along the side tell us what
kinds of facts are listed. In the example, the years are labelled on the bottom and mass in
kilograms are labelled on the side.
Scales: The horizontal scale across the bottom and the vertical scale along the side tell us how
much or how many. In the example, the scale on the bottom is 1 year at a time from
2001 to 2007, and the vertical scale is shown for every 10 kilograms from 0 to 60.
Points: The points or dots on the graph show us the facts. Each point tells us Jennie’s mass for
each specific year; for example, her mass in 2003 was 30 kg.
Lines: The lines connecting the points give estimates of the values between the points.

Discrete Data
A line graph is useful for displaying information that changes continuously over time. In cases where
there is no possibility of a continuous change, we would show a series of points without lines between
them (or we could use a bar graph). This kind of information is called discrete data.
Example:
It doesn’t make sense to join the points to make a line graph because shutouts are not continuously
changing in between the years.

Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics CHAPTER 7 — DATA MANAGEMENT 254
Data can be displayed in a variety of ways, including with the use of tables, tallies, bar graphs, line
graphs, and circle graphs.
A table is a convenient way to display information. Using a tally helps to keep track of information
while it is being collected and prepares it for putting into a table. A tally consists of a stroke for each
time an item is counted. Strokes consist of vertical marks for the first four items and a horizontal one
for every fifth item. By keeping these strokes in sets of five, we can quickly find their totals.
Below is a tally showing the number of people who liked different types of books, with the results
shown in a table.
Bar Graph
A bar graph displays information in categories. The categories are usually shown on the horizontal
axis and the number on the vertical axis. It is important to include a title, label the axes, and show a
scale for numbers.
Below is a bar graph showing how many students had different eye colours.

Number Colour of Eyes
Notice that this is discrete data (not continuous), in that students have one colour or another for their
eyes. There is no change occurring between categories.

Line Graph
Line graphs were discussed in detail in the last section. They are included here to complete the most
frequently used ways to display data. A line graph is used to show trends or changes over time. So it
shows continuous, but not discrete, data. A line graph needs a title, labels, and a scale.
Example:
3h
Time in hours
kilometres
in
Distance
The above line graph shows the distance that Ryan travelled while cycling over a 5-hour period. He
travelled 20 km after one hour and around 60 km after 5 hours. Since he travelled distances during
each of these time categories, it is continuous data which can be displayed by a line graph.
Circle Graph
Circle graphs are used when you want to display results that are part of a whole.
This example shows that almost half the income from Smith’s orchard comes from apples. Of the
rest, peaches generate more income than pears.

Results showed that 50 percent preferred hamburgers, 30 percent pizza, and 20 percent hot dogs.
Show this data in a circle graph.
1. Since results are part of a whole (they sum to 100%), we can show them with a circle graph.
2. Make each section of the circle its appropriate size. Since 50% preferred hamburgers, make
that section equal to half the circle.
3. Give the graph a title and label each section.

Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics CHAPTER 7 — DATA MANAGEMENT 260
Measures of Averages
The three most common measures of the centre of a set of numbers are the median, mean, and mode.
The mean is the average value of the set of numbers. It is found by summing the values of the
numbers and dividing by the number of terms.
6+7+9+12 _
4 8.5
The mean is often used to represent a large set of numbers. If there were only a few numbers and one
result was very different from the rest, it could distort the mean.
Examples
1. Find the median in the following set of numbers: 8, 9,10, 11, 12, 13, 15
The middle number is 11 (3 numbers are smaller and 3 are larger).
2. Find the median in the following set of numbers: 12, 14, 15, 17, 17, 18
Since there is an even number of terms, find the average of the middle two terms. The median
‘ : ee LS.17;
in this case is prs
The median is often used to represent a set of numbers that has only a few elements or data points. In
this case, the middle score is often a better representative of those numbers than the mean.
The mode is 7 since it occurs more often than any of the other numbers.
The mode is used when we want to know which number occurs most frequently; for example, if a
shoe factory wants to know which sizes are most frequent in planning its production run.

Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics CHAPTER 7 — DATA MANAGEMENT 262
Probability
Probability is a branch of mathematics that is used to make predictions in marketing, research,
insurance, investments, and games of chance. It is based on the number of possible outcomes of an
event and the likelihood that one of them will occur. For example, if one driver of a car has a greater
likelihood of getting into an accident than another, most often the first driver will pay a higher rate for
insurance than the second.
Possible Outcomes
Examples:
Answers
1. Toss a coin. What are the possible outcomes? There are two possible outcomes: the coin can
land either as a head (H) or a tail (T).
2. Roll adie. What are the possible outcomes? There are six possible outcomes: the die will land
either as a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6,
3. Pick a card from a standard deck. What are the There are 52 possible outcomes: there are 40
possible outcomes? different number cards and 12 face cards. Of
these, half are red and half are black and they can
be in any of 4 suits (diamonds, spades, clubs, and
hearts).
4. Pick a sock from a drawer containing 3 red There are a total of 9 socks in the drawer. You

Experimental Probability
In a probability experiment, we go through a number of trials and see how many times an event
occurs. For example, if we wanted to know the experimental probability of throwing a Head when we
flip a coin, we would flip a coin a number of times and see how many times a Head shows up.
The experimental probability is equal to the number of successes over the number of trials.

Line graphs are ideal for displaying data changes over continuous time intervals, as they clearly depict trends and patterns by connecting successive data points, facilitating easier analysis of the data dynamics .
Easy-to-answer questions increase the likelihood of receiving responses, as they reduce the effort required from participants and minimize confusion, ensuring the reliability of the collected data .
If the sides of a square are tripled, the new area will be the square of three times the original side length, i.e., \((3s)^2 = 9s^2\), which is nine times the area of the original square .
The longer cat is 40.5 cm, and the shorter cat is 32.8 cm. To find out how much longer the longer cat is, subtract the length of the shorter cat from the longer one: 40.5 cm - 32.8 cm = 7.7 cm. Therefore, the longer cat is 7.7 cm longer than the shorter cat .
Structured interviews provide consistency, keep responses focused, and make the data easier to compare and analyze, enabling the collection of quantifiable data while minimizing interviewer bias .
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula \( P = 2 \times (L + W) \). For a rectangle with a length of 8 cm and a width of 7 cm, the perimeter is \( 2 \times (8 + 7) = 2 \times 15 = 30 \) cm .
The difference in height is calculated by subtracting the shorter person's height from the taller person's height: 2.1 meters - 1.9 meters = 0.2 meters. Thus, the taller person is 0.2 meters taller .
The surface area of a rectangular solid is calculated as \(2(lw + lh + wh)\). Here, the area is \(2(9\times4 + 9\times3 + 4\times3) = 2(36 + 27 + 12) = 2 \times 75 = 150\) m². Since one litre of paint covers 15 m², you'd need \(\frac{150}{15} = 10\) litres to paint all six sides .
The word expression 'five times a number plus six' translates to the mathematical expression \(5x + 6\), where \(x\) represents the number .
A standard deck has 52 cards, with 13 cards in each suit. The probability of drawing a diamond, one of the four suits, is \( \frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4} \) or 25% .
