Study Strategies

Checking Your Reasoning

Make Sure Your Answers Make Sense

After solving a problem, pause to see if your answer is reasonable.

  • Does your probability fall between 0 and 1?
  • Do your averages match the data?
  • Did you use the right formula?

Double-checking helps you catch mistakes and strengthens your understanding.

Examples

  • Realizing a calculated probability of 1.2 can't be correct and reviewing your steps.

  • Finding the mean of a data set and noticing it seems too high, prompting a recount of the values.
