Study Notes

  • Scale is the ratio of a distance on a map to the corresponding real-life distance. A scale of 1:100 indicates that 1 unit on the map equals 100 units in reality.

Number Scales

  • Expressed as a ratio (e.g., 1:50).
  • Multiply the measured distance on the map by the scale factor to find the real distance.
  • Formula:
    • [ \text{Real Distance} = \text{Measured Distance on Map} \times \text{Scale Factor} ]
  • Accurate but requires scale adjustment when resizing maps.

Bar Scales

  • Represented graphically with segments indicating a specific distance.
  • Real distance is determined by multiplying the number of segments fitting the measured distance by the distance each segment represents.
  • Formula:
    • [ \text{Real Distance} = \left(\frac{\text{Measured Distance on Map}}{\text{Length of One Segment}}\right) \times \text{Distance Represented by One Segment} ]
  • Adjusts proportionally when resizing maps, maintaining accuracy.

Measuring Distance

  • Measure dimensions on the map and convert using the provided scale.
  • Use number or bar scales to find the actual dimensions.

Drawing Scaled Maps

  • Know the actual measurements of what to include.
  • Know the scale to be used.
  • Formula:
    • [ \text{Scaled Measurement} = \frac{\text{Actual Measurement}}{\text{Scale Factor}} ]

Advantages and Disadvantages of Scales

  • Number Scale:
    • Simple to use as it requires measuring only one distance but becomes incorrect if resized.
  • Bar Scale:
    • Remains accurate when resized, but is more complex because it requires measuring the length of one segment and then calculating how many segments fit the measured distance.

Maps and Directions

  • Use clear and concise language, referencing known landmarks.

Seating and Floor Plans

  • Seating Plans: Familiarize yourself with seat numbers and rows in relation to aisles, stage/screen, and exits.
  • Floor Plans: Include measurements and placement of furniture, windows, and doors; use symbols for common elements.

Plans

  • Plans: 2D pictures or drawings that describe what an object looks like including its dimensions.
  • Floor Plans: Show layout of buildings from a top view.
  • Common symbols in assembly instructions include scissors, screws, screwdrivers, and hammers.
  • Common symbols in floor plans include walls, doors, windows, bath, toilet, sink, shower, and beds.

Working with Scale on Floor Plans

  • A scale of 1:50 means that 1 unit on the plan represents 50 units in real life.
  • Formula:
    • [ \text{Measurement on Plan} = \frac{\text{Real-life Measurement}}{\text{Scale Factor}} ]

Packaging and Models

  • Volume Formula:
    • [ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} ]
  • Area Formula:
    • [ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} ]
  • Optimizing item arrangement in limited spaces is important.
  • Example of Volume calculation
    • Volume of box = ( 45 \text{ cm} \times 30 \text{ cm} \times 20 \text{ cm} = 27000 \text{ cm}^3 )

Probability Scale

  • Ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain) to describe the likelihood of an event.
  • Values in the scale:
    • Impossible: 0
    • Very Unlikely: Near 0
    • Unlikely: Between 0 and 0.5
    • Even Chances: 0.5
    • Likely: Between 0.5 and 1
    • Very Likely: Near 1
    • Certain: 1
  • Probabilities are fractions, decimals, or percentages.

Key Terms

  • Frequency: Number of times something happens.
  • Random: Occurs without being deliberately made to happen.
  • Trial: A test, like tossing a coin or rolling a dice.
  • Fair: Equal chance, without advantage or disadvantage.
  • Theoretical Probability: Calculated probability of an event.
  • Relative Frequency: Actual result of an experiment.
  • Outcome: Result of a single trial.
  • Event: Collection of one or more outcomes.

Fair and Unfair Games

  • Fair game: Equal chance of winning or losing.
  • Unfair game: Weighted to favour one player.

Single and Combined Outcomes

  • Tree Diagrams: Show all possible outcomes.
  • Combined Outcomes: Using more than one object or repeating an experiment creates a compound event.

Calculating Probability:

- Probability (P) = (Number of favourable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)

Weather Prediction

  • Analysing past weather data. The the probability of rain is based on how often it has rained on days with similar conditions in the past.

Key Concept Formulas

  • Probability of an Event (E):
    • [ P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} ]
  • Complement of an Event:
    • [ P(\text{not E}) = 1 - P(E) ]
  • Relative Frequency:
    • [ \text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Number of times an event occurs}}{\text{Total number of trials}} ]
