Wednesday HW, Quiz Friday, Khan....

You have a few things to prepare for/get done....

1.) Homework tonight: Please complete the "Chapter 14: Probability MC!" provided in class (or below).
  • This provides us with some more practice with probability and with some more "AP-like" contexts before our quiz Friday!
  • #5 is a repeat from our take home quiz....
    • I did this on purpose! This is a particularly "AP like" question!
    • The answer is E! But the focus here is not on the final answer, it's how to get it....
      • Think about this: if the mixture tests positive, that means the mixture "did not test negative..."
      • Therefore, finding the P(test positive) is the same as finding P(does not test negative)
        • Now, think about this--how can we find the probability the whole mixture tests negative?
        • What's the only way the entire mixture tests negative? 



2.) Please add me as a coach on Khan Academy if you have not done so yet. 
  • Log into your Khan Academy account (or create an account if you do not have one)
  • Go to the "Coaches" tab
  • Enter our class code:
    • AP Stat Class Code = 5HS925

3.) Chapter 14 Quiz Friday!

  • Math Section: 8 problems that are very similar to those on your take home quiz! Use that to study!
  • Vocab Section: here's the vocab list for Friday's quiz...
    • Probability
    • Independent (Events)
    • Disjoint/Mutually Exclusive (Events)
    • Law of Large Numbers
    • Law of Averages
    • Equally Likely
    • Union 
    • Intersection 
    • Sample Space
    • Complement
    • Sum of probabilities of all possible outcomes = 1

And finally, don't forget to support the yearbook and buy some new EHHS gear! You have until 12/1!
