2's Day HW

Any/all missing homework assignments, makeup quizzes, or quiz retakes must be done by the end of the week!

Back to probability and statistics! Wooooo!

Tonight, please complete the following in your textbook:

Page 363: 11, 15, 17, 21, 23

  • Remember, when you're asked if events are "disjoint" or "mutually exclusive," think, "Can these events both happen?" If both can happen, the events are not disjoint.
  • For the questions about independence, think about if one event is more likely than another..
    • For example, in #23b, look at your answer to a: If a house has a garage, is it more or less likely to have a pool? (Compare your answer to A, P(pool/garage) to the overall probability that a house has a pool)
    • If one event is more or less likely "given" some other info, then the events are not independent!
Tomorrow we'll get back into our notes, talk about homework questions, and get into some tree diagrams! See you there!
