<p>"Averages: x + y + z = 36 x + y – z = 4 "</p>

<p>i thought it was x + y -z = 8?</p>

<p>because 10 + 12 + 14= 36, 14-10=4, and 22-14=8</p>

<p>just2fitz, are u talking about the shaded area of the circle in a square?</p>

<p>No it simply said this
The average of X Y AND Z was 12 so thats x + y + z / 3 = 12
X + Y + Z = 36. You weren’t supposed to solve for them.
Next part was X < Y < Z and that Z subracted from the sume of X + Y = 4. So it was 4.</p>

<p>do you guys think ets will grade an answer not bubbled? I know it’s a stupid question but i must have a disease about bubbling because I screwed up 3 times. it took atlease 3 minutes to fix the problem.</p>

<p>yeah i am dancing bear</p>

<p>but it said that z - x = 4…</p>

<p>ok well, wouldnt the radius be pi/2? then squared is pi/4… times 2 is pi/2… ? thats what i put. oh man not another question wrong…</p>

<p>|x-3| smallest value: 2.5
Teacher/books: 7 read both
Beehive: 30
Butterfly: 30%</p>

<p>were any of those in the experimental section?</p>

<p>Teacher one was.</p>

<p>but not beehive or butterfly? what sections were those in?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>the radius was 1-- </p>

<p>if it’s in a sqare with 2 inch sides; then the radius is 1. so you find the area which is pi and divide by 4</p>

<p>I don’t remember anything about a beehive… was that experimental? The butterfly was in the section with 20 questions including the commission and pyramid questions.</p>

<p>Beehive was in last 20 minute section. Trust me. it was 30 too</p>

<p>what did the butterfly question look like, and was it toward the end of the section?</p>

<p>did any1 get this question?</p>

<p>if a person had 10 towels of 3 colors, 30 each…whats the probably of getting 1 of each towel if she chooses 21 towels</p>

<p>1 right?</p>

<p>you mixed up questions. towels was a different question.</p>

<p>and i’m pretty sure the question where she picks out 21 marbles (or balls, i don’t remember) out of 30 marbles and it asks you for the probability was in the exp section.</p>

<p>haha oo true, i did mix them up. ok…i think its time to stop thinking about this stuff.</p>

<p>can someone answer my question? what did the butterfly and beehive questions asked? because i don’t remember those, and i had 4 math sections, two of which were 20-questions</p>

<p>The butterfly question was a Venn Diagram asking about a percentage. Number 5 I believe?</p>

<p>was that the question that had the venn diagram inside the rectangle, and the number 3 was is neither of the circles but rather in the corner of the rectangle?</p>

<p>Are you guys absolutely sure that the question with baseball/color painting thing said “distinct colors?”</p>

<p>I think many people are mistaking “different designs” for “distinct colors.”</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the exact wording of the question?</p>

<p>I must have read it 3 times to find a reason why red and red wouldn’t work. I couldn’t find a reason. If it had said distinct colors I’m pretty sure I would have kept my answer at 20 instead of 25.</p>
