My Box of Smarties

• We learned a lot about probability when we did
  the Smarties such as learned percentage and lots
  of other stuff too.
• The most I had of each Smarties was Blue and
  Yellow which both had three.
• Spreadsheet helps simplify math by it has a built
  in calculator and also it simplifies numbers that
  you want it to.

My Smarties Project

• When we did the Smartie project, I learned that
  just because there is a great possibility of
  picking a certain color doesnt mean it will be
  picked.
• The most probable color from my original box of
  Smarties is brown.
• It helps because everything from making graphs to
  putting a decimal number to a percent is easier
  just from the touch of a button.

What I have Learned About Probability with
Smarties

• What I have learned about probability doing this
  project is that if you have a high percentage of
  a certain Smartie, you are most likely to pull
  out that color from the box.
• The most probable color from my original box of
  Smarties was brown.
• Spreadsheet simplifies Math because you are able
  to make charts and the information is right in
  front of you. This makes it easier to understand
  probability.

  same box is impossible.
• The most probable color from my Smartie box was
  orange and yellow.
• The math spreadsheet helps organizes your work
  and helps simplify the math.

Kelseys Smarties Box

• I learned that when you have more of a color you
  are more likely to have that color than the rest
  but since there is still other colors there is
  still a chance of getting another color.
• My most probable was yellow.
• How does spreadsheet simplify Math? It doesnt.

My Smarties Assignment

• When completing this project, I leaned how to use
  a spreadsheet. I also learned how to use certain
  formulas and learned about probability.
• The most probable color of Smartie I could pull
  from my Smartie box would be either Purple or
  Orange.
• A spreadsheet simplifies math by allowing us to
  use different formulas and gives us a little
  better understanding of it.

Smarties Peroject

• What I learned was that even though the chances
  seem high, there's a really bad chance that you
  will get the thing that has the highest
  probability.
• The most probable Smartie in my Smartie box was
  the red and the purple smarties.
• The spreadsheet helps you gain a better
  understanding of probability.

My Smarties Project

• I learned that probability is the chances of you
  picking a certain Smartie out of a bunch.
• Pink was my most probable color.
• It makes it easier to see what's going on.

My Smarties Project

• I learned that you only have a chance out of the
  number of Smarties you have to pick the colors
  you have.
• My most probable color from my original box of
  Smarties was orange.
• I dont have to write all the information down I
  can just type it.

My Smarties Project

• What I learned about probability is the chance of
  picking a Smartie out of the box.
• The most color that I picked out of my Smartie
  box is blue.
• It calculates things that would take me a long
  time to calculate and is easier to read.

What I Have Learned by doing this Project

• I learned that if there's a higher percent of a
  certain color of smartie, you will usually choose
  that color of smartie. Sometimes you can still
  choose a smartie with a low probability though.
• The most probable colors from my original box of
  Smarties was green and yellow.
• Spreadsheet simplifies math because you can make
  charts on it so that you can see everything in
  front of you and it helps you to understand
  probability better when you see pictures of it.
  There are also tools that you can use so that you
  wont make mistakes in your math.

My Smarties Assignment

• By doing this assignment, I learned how to use
  Microsoft Excel, and the the theoretical
  probability of a Smartie Box.
• The most probable color of Smartie in my original
  box would be either brown, yellow, pink, or
  purple.
• Spreadsheet simplifies math because it allows you
  to put in formulas which solves to probability
  problems for you. If it wasnt for this, than
  calculating the problems would take too much
  time.

My Box of Smarties

• I learned that probability is the theoretical
  chance of picking something out of a bunch of
  objects.
• The most probable color out of my original box of
  Smarties was red.
• It simplifies it because it spaces it out and it
  is easier to look at it.

What I Have Learned by Doing This Project

• The most probable color of Smarties from my
  original box was brown and purple.
• Spreadsheet helps simplify math because it lets
  you make graphs to see the information right in
  front of you.

Smarties Project

• I learned how to make pie and bar charts using
  the Smarties project.
• The most probable color form my original box of
  Smarties is brown and pink.
• A spreadsheet helps simplify math by doing the
  calculations.

What I Have Leaned About Probability

• I learned that if there is a higher percent of a
  color of Smarties you have a higher chance of
  pulling that color.
• The most probable color from my original box of
  Smarties was green.
• Spreadsheet simplifies math because you are able
  to make charts and can see everything laid out
  before to make it easier. It helps you to
  understand probability better when all the
  information is in front of you. There are also
  tools that can be used so that you dont make any
  mistakes in your math.

My Box of Smarties

• I learned that I am very good at predicting what
  I will pick out of the box.
• The most probable color I could choose first was
  purple.
• They simplify them by letting you build graphs
  and letting you auto-sum your numbers.

My Box Of Smarties

• I learned that probability will help me from
  years from now with work.
• The most probable Smartie in my box of Smarties
  would have to be Yellow.
• It helps to see the problems and the simplicity
  of the question.

My Smartie Box

• I learned that when you have to guess you may or
  may not get the specific thing that you wanted to
  get, or thought that you would get.
• I had two most probable colors in my box red and
  yellow.
• The spreadsheet lets you add up the numbers. It
  also allows you to have things separated so that
  you can find your work more easily.

My Box of Smarties

• What I learned about probability.
  I learned that picking or choosing the right
  Smartie that you pull is very slim.
• The most probable Smartie that I would choose
  would be brown, then red, and so on.
• Spreadsheet simplifies math by pretty much
  saving all the multiplying and dividing.

My Probability Experiment

• I learned that probability means that the more
  you have of something the more likely to pick it
  out.
• My most probable color from my original Smarties
  box is green.
• Spreadsheet helps me with my math because instead
  of using a calculator to add everything, it is
  there already for you.

• Ive learned that if you have a large amount of
  something, you have a better chance of choosing
  it.
• The most probable colors from my Smarties chart
  is Red, Blue, Yellow and Orange.
• The spreadsheet helps simplifies math because you
  dont need a calculator every time you have to
  add something up.

My Box of Smarties

• I learned that that no matter what color you pull
  out of the box it cant always be what you guess.
• The most probable color in my original box of
  Smarties was yellow.
• How does spreadsheet simplify Math? I simplifies
  math by making it easier to make graphs and write
  your information to keep it organized.

Probability Experiment with Smarties

• What I have learned from this project was that
  sometimes probability can work and sometimes not.
  For example you might have a 45 chance of
  pulling pink, but instead pull a purple.
• The most probable color of from my original
  Smartie box was brown.
• The spreadsheet simplified math because it is
  easier to absorb probability and understand what
  the graph is telling you.

Alishas Smartie Box

• I learned that the probability of getting a
  certain color of a Smartie is greater if there is
  more of that color, then what there would be if
  there was a less amount of the color.
• The most probable color from my original box of
  Smarties were red, yellow, pink, purple, and
  orange.
• A spread sheet simplifies math by doing the math
  for us, and making the graphs.

My Smarties Project

• I learnt that you only have a chance out of the
  number of Smarties you have to pick the colors
  you have.
• The most probable was purple.
• I dont have to write the information I just have
  to type.
