Weekend HW!

1.) Weekend HW: Please complete the "More Probability Practice" problems (about voter turnout) and "Independent and Disjoint Events" multiple choice that were provided in class. Lost yours? Here you go!
  • Note: these questions talk about voting "last week" (because this is old), but should say "voted in the 2016 election." Don't get confused by the "last week" part. 
  • Weekend HW! (Click Me)

2.) ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ANSWERS (when possible):
  • "More Probability Practice" Key:
    • a.) 0.0915
    • b.) 0.041
    • c.) 0.0501
    • d.) 0.959
    • e.) 0.9085
  • Ind/Disjoint MC:
    • We'll check these in class on Monday.
3.) Last chance for Bonus Stamps (Due Monday): + 4 stamps
  • Answer the question below (#7 from our slides about roulette) "the long way."
  • You must show ALL work
  • Your answer should match our answer from Thursday's class when we did this "the short way" 
  • Question:
    • Suppose we play roulette 4 times...
    • What is the probability that the 4 spins are not all red?
      • This means we could have 0 red, 1 red, 2 red, or 3 red (just not all 4 red)
    • Your challenge:
      • Calculate the probability of 0 red, exactly 1 red, exactly 2 red, 3 red
      • Add these for the probability that our 4 spins are "not all red"
      • Answer should = 0.94966

4.) Vocab! Next week (Weds?) we'll have a chapter 14 vocab quiz. For this chapter you are responsible for much of the vocabulary--here's what you need to know....

  • Probability: long run relative frequency of an event, chance some event happens, always between 0 and 1
  • Law of Large Numbers
  • Law of Averages
  • Complement (of an event)
  • Disjoint/Mutually Exclusive
  • Independent (Events)
  • Sample Space: the set of all possible outcomes for an event
  • Equally Likely Outcomes
  • Union: or
  • Intersection: and
