Expected Value

expected value makes me think more about the outcome of my actions and if the outcome is going to help me gain something or lose something. It makes me double think how something will turn out.

math conditional statements


  • Original: if my lizard is hungry then he will eat. True/ False: this statement is true because most animals will eat when they get hungry.  
  • Inverse: if my lizard is not hungry then he will not eat. True/ False: this statement is false because my lizard eats even when he is not hungry. 
  • Converse: if my lizard is eating then he is hungry. True/ False: this statement is false because animals aren't always eating because they are hungry but to store body fat for the winter. 
  • Contrapositive: if my lizard is not eating then he is not hungry. True/ False: this statement is true because if you flip it, the statement is still true and if he is not eating then he is most likely not hungry.
