THIS COURSE IS CONCERNED WITH LAW WHICH APPLIES TO BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS

THIS COURSE IS CONCERNED WITH BASICS OF COMMERCIAL LAW

This course runs through out the duration of the program

You are expected to read carefully the tasks to be given to you. At the end of the course you will be expected to show that the school mathematics issues are critically analysed and show that learners will benefit from your learning this course.

Food and Nutrition is a course that will not only prepare you to go and teach the learners in school, it will also equip you with the knowledge of the importance of food to the human body and how the body uses food for its survival. Further, it provide information on the individual foods and their importance to the human diet.

This is a second year course which builds on the financial accounting course which was done in the first year

In the real life situation, we usually encounter situations in which we are to make a judgement as to whether some event can or cannot happen. The following expressions are commonly used to indicate the likelihood of an occurrence.

(i) Certainly it will/obviously

(ii) Certainly it will not/obviously

(iii) It is likely to happen/more likely to happen

(iv) It is less likely to happen/unlikely

To make these judgments or predictions of the occurrence of an event precise, mathematicians assign numerical values to indicate the likelihood of an occurrence. These numerical values are what we call probabilities.

Introduction

In many scientific studies of a physical phenomenon, it is desirable to have a

mathematical model that makes it possible to describe and predict the observed value of characteristic of interest. There are two types of models, the deterministic and non-deterministic.

Deterministic

(i) Velocity of a falling body after time,.

(iii) Area of a circle = .

Non- Deterministic

(i) The number of particles emitted by radioactive source

(ii) The time failure of a manufactured bulb, battery etc.

(iii) Outcome of a game of chance.

(iv) Number of new HIV/AIDS infections in  six months.

The motivation for the study of probability is to provide mathematical models for non-deterministic situations.
