This weekend please complete the chapter 11 reading questions provided in class!
Be ready for some notes and a new unit when we return! You'll have a take home simulation over Thanksgiving so we have to make sure we're on top of things!
Jamel--here are the questions since you probably lost yours.
Chapter 11 Reading Questions:1. What does it mean for something to be random? (statistically speaking)
2. What are pseudorandom numbers?
3. What is a simulation?
4. What is a component?
5. Define a trial.
6. Define response variable.
7. Describe the 7 steps for creating a simulation (outlined at the bottom of page 260).
8. Write the steps you will follow on your calculator to generate random integers (yellow box on page 263!)
Complete page 266: 1,3, 4 (questions listed below):
1. Is a coin flip random? Why or why not, in your opinion?
3. Many states run lotteries, giving away millions of dollars if you match a certain set of winning numbers. How are those numbers determined? Do you think this method guarantees randomness? Why or why not?
4. Many kinds of games people play rely on randomness. What are (at least) 3 different ways commonly used to achieve randomness? In other words, pretend you’re trying to choose who will drive to the movies amongst 5 friends. What are at least 3 different ways you can randomly choose a driver?
