Answer 23

Answer 24

its just a short paragraph about the differences of them

Answer 25

hey @smiles=smiles

Answer 26

hi

Answer 27

The page you attached doesn't seem give definitions. So this is an "in your own words" thing. That's 2 sentences. And an example for each is at least 2 more sentences. That's enough for a paragraph.
So, tell me, in your own word, what does calculated risk mean?

Answer 28

calculated risk is when someone takes a risk to prove himself

Answer 29

The word "calculated" means gathered all information you can about the situation and calculate your chances of success. Taking a calculated risk means you've thought about it and think you have a pretty good chance of making it work.

Answer 30

Can you rewrite your definition using that information?

Answer 31

oh then what i said was the definition for unnecessary chance

Answer 32

You actually wrote an example of unnecessary chance.

Answer 33

yeah that was by accident

Answer 34

all good

Answer 35

B)

Answer 36

For me, an example of a calculated risk would come from baseball. A runner on first base watches the pitcher, adds in what he knows about the pitcher and catcher and then decides when and if he can steal second base. He may steal it or may get caught, but he won't try until he has calculated and thinks he has a good chance.

Answer 37

good example

Answer 38

Your example of some trying to prove themselves without thinking of consequences is good. I know idiots who will get to a cliff where they've never been and jump off into water below with no idea what is under the water.

Answer 39

yeah me 2

Answer 40

So, you think you have enough? Anything else I can do to help?

Answer 41

soo calculated risk is you've thought about it and think you have a pretty good chance of making it work and unnecessary chance when someone takes a risk to prove himself

Answer 42

so can we start writing the paragraph together

Answer 43

pretty much. But an unnecessary risk could be any risk that you haven't thought out.
Yes, I'll help. Your first sentence is the definition of caulculated risk
Here's what you wrote above:
calculated risk is you've thought about it and think you have a pretty good chance of making it work

Answer 44

and what was the example you said for it

Answer 45

The baseball one

Answer 46

ok let me find it

Answer 47

I wrote:
an example of a calculated risk would come from baseball. A runner on first base watches the pitcher, adds in what he knows about the pitcher and catcher and then decides when and if he can steal second base. He may steal it or may get caught, but he won't try until he has calculated and thinks he has a good chance.

Answer 48

oh thanks

Answer 49

so the first sentence could be something like this

Answer 50

Calculated risk is you've thought about it and think you have a pretty good chance of making it work like in baseball a runner on first base watches the pitcher, adds in what he knows about the pitcher and catcher and then decides when and if he can steal second base. He may steal it or may get caught, but he won't try until he has calculated and thinks he has a good chance.

Answer 51

that is not a sentence more like a paragraph

Answer 52

You need to work on punctuation.
Calculated risk is you've thought about it and think you have a pretty good chance of making it work. ln baseball, a runner on first base watches the pitcher, adds in what he knows about the pitcher and catcher and then decides when and if he can steal second base. He may steal it or may get caught, but he won't try until he has calculated and thinks he has a good chance.

Answer 53

Paragraphs can be as long as you need them to be. But yeah. If you want to start a new paragraph withe the definition of unnecessary risk that would work. May even impress your teacher.

Answer 54

i was going to do it at the end and when were done we can make sure the grammar is good

Answer 55

ok,
I wrote:
an unnecessary risk could be any risk that you haven't thought out.

Answer 56

ok

Answer 57

soo the next part would you write about how unnecessary risk is different from calculated chance or is that the next step

Answer 58

do you just write the definition and example for it the why they are different

Answer 59

Just give your definition of unnecessary risk. Trust the reader can see the difference. Then give your example like you did with the first part.

Answer 60

Yes to your question.

Answer 61

ok

Answer 62

Unnecessary risk is when someone takes a risk to prove himself for example....
what is an example of that

Answer 63

The cliff thing, I wrote:
idiots who will get to a cliff where they've never been and jump off into water below with no idea what is under the water.

Answer 64

Unnecessary risk is when someone takes a risk to prove himself for example when people who will go to a cliff where they've never been and jump off into water below with no idea what is under the water.

Answer 65

Calculated risk is you've thought about it and think you have a pretty good chance of making it work. In baseball, a runner on first base watches the pitcher, adds in what he knows about the pitcher and catcher and then decides when and if he can steal second base. He may steal it or may get caught, but he won't try until he has calculated and thinks he has a good chance. A unnecessary risk is when someone takes a risk to prove himself for example when people who will go to a cliff where they've never been and jump off into water below with no idea what is under the water.

Answer 66

Looks good.
"An unnecessary"
good job

Answer 67

The difference between a calculated risk and a unnecessary chance is that they are either thought threw or done without a thought about what could happen.

Answer 68

does that make sense

Answer 69

Calculated risk is you've thought about it and think you have a pretty good chance of making it work. In baseball, a runner on first base watches the pitcher, adds in what he knows about the pitcher and catcher and then decides when and if he can steal second base. He may steal it or may get caught, but he won't try until he has calculated and thinks he has a good chance. An unnecessary risk is when someone takes a risk to prove himself for example when people who will go to a cliff where they've never been and jump off into water below with no idea what is under the water. The difference between a calculated risk and a unnecessary chance is that they are either thought threw or done without a thought about what could happen.

Answer 70

Yes, good. Check spelling. And I think you are good.
Through not threw in this instance.

Answer 71

do you want me to put in "through not threw in this instance" instead of "thought threw or done without a thought about what could happen."

Answer 72

no, the word you want is through.
Threw, is past tense of throw.
"think through" would be correct.

Answer 73

You can tag me in your posts whenever you think I could help. I try to help as many as I can.

Answer 74

so for the last sentence it is suppose to say The difference between a calculated risk and a unnecessary chance is that they are either thought throw or done without a think thought about what could happen.

Answer 75

Yes. good.

Answer 76

it does not make sense about the throw part

Answer 77

Sorry. I was just showing what throw means. Ignore throw and threw. They are not part of you paragraph

Answer 78

ok

Answer 79

thank you soooooo much i appreciate it

Answer 80

Answer 81

B) byeee
