Quiz(zes) Tomorrow!

Tonight, STUDY! We will start class with our chapter 11 vocab quiz and our chapter 11 simulations quiz (procedure, simulate, conclusion)!

Here's the chapter 11 vocab list:
  • Random (Outcome)
  • Pseudorandom Number
  • Response Variable
  • Outcome
  • Component
  • Trial
  • Sample Survey
  • Simulation
  • Experiment (know what it is and that it's the only way to establish cause-and-effect)
  • Observational Study
  • Given a context identify the component, outcome, and response variable
And if you want some extra practice to get ready for the "design a simulation quiz" check these out:
  • Page 267: 11
  • Try the problem on the back of today's stamp....
  • Look in your Barron's book! Simulations fall under the "Probability" heading! Use the table of contents to find the simulation section!
    • In the 8th edition this starts on page 213!
  • Here's the answer to the problem on the back of the stamp so you can check yours:
    • Generate 2 digit numbers for 00-99.
    • For the first test, let 00-33 represent passing and 34-99 represent failing.
    • For subsequent tests (every test after the first), let 00-71 represent passing and let 72-99 represent failing.
    • Generate a random number. If the student passes, the trial is over. If the student fails, generate a second random number and determine if the student passed/failed on the second test. Never generate more than 2 random numbers.
    • Record whether or not the student has their license after 2 (or 1) attempts.
    • Repeat.
    • For your conclusion you will find a probability/percentage--find the percent of times a student had their license after 2 (or 1) attempts. (# of students who have their license within 2 attempts out of the total number of trials).
You'll have about 20ish minutes for your 2 quizzes (maybe 25), and then we'll start to discuss sample surveys! See you there!
