Do we have free-will?

By -
 Are you free?  we often think we are free but are we really free? this question sounds so simple yet it is actually not. What does it even mean to be free? Well in this post I will explain to the best of my knowledge what is free will and whether we have it or not. can you escape fate? Let's consider the story below: When Thabiso was born a prophet foretold that he would grow up to kill his father and then marry his mother. His father fearing for his life decided to leave the baby in the wilderness with the hope that he will die, thefore the prophecy will not come  true. The baby was found by another couple, and grew up knowing them as his parents.

In the way he met and killed a man and then felt bad for the wife of this man, he decided to marry her. The man he met is in fact his father and th

 BENGITHI LIZOKUNA – NG Sibiya Umbuzo: Xoxa ngempumelelo yombhali ekudluliseni umyalezo othi: 'Izinqumo esizithathayo ngempilo yethu zingaba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yethu neyabanye abantu' ubhekise kulaba balingiswa: uMhlengi/Mahlengi, uNontobeko, uXolani, noNgidi kule noveli ethi, Bengithi Lizokuna. ISINGENISO Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli umayelana nokuthi izinqumo esizithathayo ngempilo yethu zingaba nemiphumela engemihle kwabanye abantu nakithina uqobo. Ohlolwayo angasebenzisa la maphuzu alandelayo namanye amayelana nomyalezo kule noveli.

Introduction to my University life.

By -
I had always imagined that university would be like a candy shop. Full of sweet and pleasurable moments. Finally I would be free from parental rules and high school drama. The money that I would receive from bursaries would be enough for me to get whatever I desired.  Indeed in my first year in 2011, I found my true lover. He is not the typical tall, dark and handsome. Instead he is short, chubby and funny, something that about him tickled my taste buds and he indeed enjoyed tickling me. Khumalo Hendrick stood out from the rest of the crowd, ironically he is was the shortest, so yeah... Anyways, he had money and was funny so I guess that was a win.  My best friend Sbahle and I always used to chill at the cafeteria to buy some food, we both doing a BSc, of which I believe her science bursary covered most of her needs and I, well had to rely on Khumalo's help and the little I got from home.  Which brings me to my next point, university was not at all like a candy shop, if anything it

 ISINGENISO  Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli uthi: Ukungawazisi umndeni wakho kuba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yakho. UMZIMBA  UBafana  Ukuba yisifundiswa kukaBafana kwenza ukuba uBafana awubukele phansi/angawazisi umndeni wakhe. La maphuzu alandelayo akhombisa izinto ezenziwa uBafana ukungawunakekeli umndeni wakhe:  • UBafana uxosha umalume wakhe kabuhlungu uma ezocelela izingane zikaLinono indawo yokuhlala.  • Ukungazwani kukaBafana noPoppie kwenza u-Euthenasia eqe ekhaya.  • UBafana akanasikhathi sezingane zakhe.  • UBafana uba nomona ngokuzithuthukisa kukaPoppie ngokufunda umtshela nokuthi akayeke ukufunda.  • Ukuhluleka kukaBafana ukubhekana nezinkinga zasemzini wakhe kwamenza walifulathela ikhaya. Umphumela wokungawazisi umndeni empilweni kaBafana: • Udlala izingane zikamasihlalisane wakhe uMaMthunzi, uPr

Plinko probability - Simulation

By -
  Topics Probability Statistics Histograms Description Drop balls through a triangular grid of pegs and see them accumulate in containers. Switch to a histogram view and compare the distribution of balls to an ideal binomial distribution. Adjust the binary probability and develop your knowledge of statistics! Sample Learning Goals Predict the bin where a single ball might fall Repeat trials of 100 balls and compare the outcomes Count the number of balls in a bin and relate that to the probability of falling in that bin Compare and interpret empirical and theoretical statistics Apply the plinko simulation as a model to other scenarios where there are weighted statistics
