Maths Performance Task - Personal Reflection

My experience with mathematical statistics for the first time is both an interesting and weird feeling at the same time. Too add on to those, I also felt like it is a fun way to learn statistics.
Based on the experiment, I realised that statistics requires a lot of accuracy, as an error can be very grave, no matter how small (e.g. Amount of jet fuel needed for a specific trip).
Some of the challenges that I have faced was the strangers and passers-by. As most schools do not have these kind of hands-on experiments and tasks, strangers and passers-by will obviously become curious and sometimes will even stare evidently in front of me. It felt rather strange to see people staring at me directly in front of me while I was doing my experiment. Still, everything is a learning experience whether good or bad.
During my experiment, I realised that the busses did not take too long to arrive at the bus stop I was in. I found it rather peculiar that there were myriads of reviews about late bus arrivals, as most of the busses at my bus stop seemed to be punctual and even early, except for maybe one or two, which came about two minutes late. Besides, even though the busses did not arrive early, they did not come too late too, or maybe it was because my bus stop was near to the bus interchange, so traffic had least chance of affecting the bus arrival time.

1. Why is communication important?


-Because if there was no such thing as communication, then our recipients won't know the message we are trying to convey to them.


2. What is/are your favourite forms of communication? Why?


-My favourite form of communication is typing as I like to type and I also need to improve my typing skills.


3. How do you decide which form of communication to use in a situation?


-When we need to convey our message immediately, then using our mouths to speak is the more appropriate form of communication,that is, if your recipient is near enough to hear you speak.


4. What difficulties do you face in communicating with others?


-I may talk too fast and my recipients may not be able to hear what I'm trying to say to them or they may hear it too fast and not understand what I mean.
