FamilyRe: My Wife Is A Thief & Greedy: My One-Month Marriage About To Crash by jackpot(f): 8:34pm On Oct 11, 2020
COWBOYFAN:
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

I just had a traditional wedding earlier this month. I'm not based in Nigeria. I provided all the finances for the wedding before I arrived Lagos. Everything listed to be bought for the wedding I provided all. To my surprise wedding that was suppose to take place in a hall had to take place in a cramped sitting room. No food, no drinks, no DJ etc. What did they use the funds for? I don't know. I asked questions and no answers given. To be fair to her family members, I didn't give money directly to her parents or siblings. I gave the funds to my wife to be.

Surprisingly on the day of the small wedding, her uncle was accusing me of not providing money to organize the wedding properly. My heart sank. I look in the direction of my wife to be and couldn't believe what just came out of her uncle's mouth. Whereas I provided money for everything. The wedding prayers went ahead and we were joined together.

After the dry wedding ceremony I began to ask questions but my new wife couldn't give me explanation. Fast forward to last week I was looking for money I kept in my drawer and couldn't find it. I decided to just keep quiet and watch. I set another trap. I had some US Dollars in my wallet and exposed the money for her to see. I went to the shower and lo and behold my new wife removed the dollars from my wallet. I got dressed after shower and we went outside to go somewhere together as my driver was in the car waiting. As we were going, I opened my wallet and saw the dollars gone. I blew a whistle right there and she denied it. I asked driver to return home. I had my parent and siblings at home on that day but I can bet my life on them. I told them what's going on. My new wife was all over the place and shaken. I refused to talk to her. I confided in my mother and explained how I set the trap for my wife. Surprisingly my wife started making moves. She planted the money all over the place which I saw as she was doing. I pretended I didn't see her. I refused to talk to her. All of a sudden she confronted me and attacked me that I suspected her to be the one who stole my money. She started saying she stoop so low to allow herself to be ridiculed in the presence of my family. I confronted her with evidence and she began crying and blaming devil. She has done series of money infractions that I couldn't list here. She fights me for money on daily basis since we got married. No money ever enough.

This is a woman that I gave a car to already and spent so much on to be comfortable. I just bought her another car to be given to her on her birthday. On the day she stole the dollars I had just given her 100,000 naira pocket money for the week. She's been crying and begging for two days saying it won't happen again. She has refused to eat.

Here is the bombshell I just confirmed she's now three weeks pregnant. I can't trust my life with her at this juncture. I'm leaning towards divorce. I'm too scared to be with her. She's too greedy.
what happened to your earlier marriage? Just curious.

About the current issue, maybe your money won her over and not love

@whyteteeth



If you want to get a scholarship easily for 2.2 grade,
Your best bet is University scholarship.

Focus on usa, write GRE & Toefl, get Good scores, Get good recommendation letters from your lecturers,try & write a perfect motivational letter or statement of purpose both are same thing.

Find schools for your particular course,Apply to top schools, average schools, above average atleast 4 schools, mix it,I will advice you tho to apply to average & above average schools.

Write to the schools graduate program, tell them your Qualifications, Write to your department graduate program coordinator, ask them about funding & scholarships, demand strictly for funding.

Apply to research universities, Funding, Assistantships are easy to get within such schools, look for the USA student thread follow it, you will learn a lot, look for the GRE thread on Education section, follow it as well, you will learn a lot.

I'm 2.2 graduate as well, I'm preparing for my MSc in usa too, hopefully , fall 2020!


In all, I wish you the very best of luck & have a nice life mate, Gracia!

But some of these private school proprietress slash proprietor often coarse the private school teachers into online teaching but then they are not ready to pay them salary. Some will ask you to record lesson videos for the whole term in a month, type lesson notes from your pocket and submit and at the end, pay you less than half of your monthly salary, most times, less than 10k. embarassed

My solution

Data

pack 1...4 RED and 3 YELLOW cards
pack 2.....3 RED and 4 yellow cards

1) Probability of picking a red card at the end of the experiment implies
R,R or Y,R = [4/7 x 4/8] + [3/7 x 3/8]
= 2/7 + 9/56
= 25/56

2) Probability of picking a yellow card at the end of the experiment implies
Y,Y or R,Y = [3/7 x 5/8] + [4/7 x 4/8]
=15/56 + 2/7
=31/56
nice one.
Martinez39s:
SOLUTION
A pair of choices must be made to produce an outcome in this experiment.
(A) If we pick the 1st red ball in the 1st bag, there are 4 possible outcomes of a red ball, and 4 possible outcomes of a yellow ball. This is also true if we pick the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th red ball in the first bag.

(B) If we pick the 1st yellow ball in the 1st bag, there are 3 possible outcomes of a red ball, and there are 5 possible outcomes of a yellow ball. This is also true if we start with the 2nd or 3rd yellow ball in the first bag.

(C) From (A) & (B),
--- it is clear that the number of the pairs of choices leading to an outcome a red ball is ORR + OYR = 16 + 9 = 25.
--- It is also clear that the number of the pairs of choices leading to an outcome of a yellow ball is ORY + OYY = 16 + 15 = 31.
--- it then follows that the number of the pairs of choices resulting into an outcome of the experiment is
ORR + OYR + ORR + OYR = 56

The probability of picking a red ball is 25/56.
The probability of picking a yellow ball is 31/56.
nice one

Very difficult times for private school teachers. Even home lessons have become impracticable as parents would not want to expose their kids.

I think private school teachers need to form an organized union; drive the call for better pay, better compensation and reward, etc.

FUN QUESTION

There are two packs filled with identical cards as follows: Pack 1 contains 4 red cards and 3 yellow cards; Pack 2 contains 3 red cards and 4 yellow cards.

An experiment consists of drawing/picking a card at random from Pack 1, then mixing it up with the cards in Pack 2, shuffling the cards and then picking a card at random from Pack 2.

Find the probability of picking
(1.) a red card
(2.) a yellow card
at the end of the experiment.


Options:
1 (A) 1/2 (B) 5/8 (C) 3/7 (D) 31/56 (E) NOTA

2 (A) 1/2 (B) 3/8 (C) 25/56 (D) 4/7 (E) NOTA

I'm interested in the source of this question o Jackpot.....and I know that whatever is finally solved will definitely not give you the (100-n) you want grin. It will tend towards 0.00003%.

Please,keep me updated.
source: myself really. Question was motivated by the birthday paradox.

Any update on the little experiment concerning analyzing the last 100 players? wink
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 9:13am On May 01, 2020
naturalwaves:
Hahahaha. Not exactly. I remember how long it took me to find a birthday mate and I had interacted with at least 150 people asking for their birthdays before I saw one. It can be 0 too.
You're seeing it from your perspective (your own birthday matching with others). From your perspective, you'll have to do 150 comparisons of birthdays in your case of trying to see your birthday mate.

The chances of seeing other matching birthday mates increase greatly if you start comparing among all the 150 persons (plus you=151), for then you'll have to do 151Combination2=11325 comparisons wink grin
naturalwaves:
Another angle you should look at it from is that the 100 referred to in the question may be a sub group. These sort of questions require a large sample size. The 100 may be a broken-down version from 10000000 because for every 10000000,you will get 3 with an unshared birthday.
I think that with a sound knowledge of statistics especially all these joint probability distribution/density function (PDF), the solution can be readily obtained. It might just be a case of solving one or two multiple integrals as solved in joint PDFs

EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by jackpot(f): 12:21am On May 01, 2020
Martinez39s:
My reasoning is valid for a randomly selected group of 100 students. In fact, throughout this thread, based on my presumption of what your question could possibly mean (as you stated it at first), I have been working with the idea that the group of 100 students were randomly selected.

Let me explain something. When you randomly select a group of 100 students, you have randomly selected a group of 100 birthdays. Each selected birthday has been selected from 365 possible birthdays (dates in a year), and repetition is allowed as you randomly select other birthdays in the group of 100 birthdays. Using the selection of humans, the emboldened statement is tantamount to saying each person from the randomly selected group of hundred has a birthday that is one of the 365 dates (birthdays) in a year, and a person in the group could have a birthday mate in the group (remember that repetition of birthdays is allowed).

When you want to randomly selecting a group of 100 people (birthdays), here are some possible logical questions you can ask if no further information is given or no possible consideration is made (assuming a year contains 365 days):
(1) What is the probability that no two people share the same birthday?

(2) What is the probability that at least two people share the same a birthday Naturalwaves got this, but he applied it to your question with doesn't have anything to do with probability.

(3) What is the number of ways of selecting a group of hundred people such that no two shares the same birthday.

(4) What is the number ways of selecting a group of hundred people such that at least two have the same birthday
It's unfair to tag what we don't understand as illogical wink kiss

If I see a question that is indeterminate, I will know.

For instance, do you know that some great guys think that that angle question I posted earlier was not complete? Yet, Mrshape and others dealt mercilessly with the question here.

Martinez39s:
This question of yours doesn't make sense: Either you mistakenly left out something or you didn't state the question properly. If this question is complete, and there is nothing more to it, then it's illogical even if you have a unique group of 100 students or a randomly selected group of 100 students.


MrShape, naturalwaves,
Do you know that questions like the following have an answer? shocked

Let a, b, c be real numbers selected randomly from the interval (0, 1). What is the probability that the quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0 has at least one real solution? grin

The chances of winning a mega lottery in the United States of America is approximately 0 yet people still win. It would therefore be false to say that ANY person who plays the lottery will fail. The odds of an evening might be very large, but as long as the probability of that event isn't exactly 0 then that event can happen.
i know, but try first kiss

I bet you might even get up to 23 players with birthday mates if you run the experiment. wink cheesy
