Will the sub collect it tomorrow? I don't know.....maybe....maybe not.
Will I just check it on Friday? Maybe, maybe not....

Homework 2/24
Tonight's homework is p. 446 1,3,5,7,8.
Also, remember you have your two AP problems for Friday.
I have to say, most of you have really seemed to pick it up lately in class. I truly appreciate your effort--we have some tough work cut out for us, but it'll be well worth it on May 5. I'm really excited for after the exam, b/c I have lots of cool stuff for us to explore in math--some art, Deal or No Deal, the movie 21, gambling, some board games, college life info, guest speakers (grad student(s), engineer, etc.). It'll be hot.
Keep up the good work.
Mock exam next Wed. I'll bring foodz.

Back to Business
Break's over already?! What?! Back to work I suppose.
The notes for the next chapter as well as the official document for your letter on in the downloads section. An engineer I work with from Pratt sent me this information for those of you who may be interested in engineering.
* Visit www.discoverengineering.org <http://www.discoverengineering.org/> and promote this site to middle school students.
* Visit Internet sites of your professional and technical organizations <http://www.eweek.org/Coalition/CoalitionMembers.aspx?ContentID=75&Version=12> to see what they are doing for Engineers Week.
* Contact the Junior Engineering Technical Society (www.jets.org <http://www.jets.org/> ) to request guidance brochures for various engineering disciplines and explore high school programs.
* Visit the online Sightseer's Guide <http://www.engineeringsights.org/> to family-friendly engineering-related travel attractions.
* Visit www.greatachievements.org <http://www.greatachievements.org/> for useful information about great engineering achievements of the past 100 years.

Finally!
Hope break is going well...if you're trying to get ahead, here are the FCA's for your letter (will be assigned Monday night, due Tuesday):
Each @ 3 points for a total of 12 as a project grade (that's like 3 AP problems):
1.) Reference at least 3 points/details/facts about the course content (what we study, level of interest).
2.) Reference at least 3 points/details/facts/opinions about "AP" (pace, homework, the exam, is it worth it? college credits, etc.)
3.) Reference at least 3 "other" facts (about teacher, using graphing calculators/Smartboard, book, anything else you think of).
4.) Use complete sentences with appropriate vocabulary/punctuation/capitalization/grammar. No more than 3 mistakes.

Sub work today...
If you guys got the Probability Test packet today, it can be handed in on MONDAY! That's too much for one night! Sorry for all the confusion.
AP Problem Tips
2004 #3:
a.) Think about those 3 conditions we have for a Binomial model. If you really had 20 dinosaur bones, assuming male/female are equally likely, what's the probability of a male on the first pick? The second? The third?
b.) Without replacement.
c.) If they were equally likely, then the probability of all males is your answer in (b). Is that going to happen often?
d.) What do you need in a sample to generalize. For example, say I'm testing the average gpa at EHHS so I choose 15 students from AP Stat and 5 students from Gym. Can I generalize these results? Why?
2002 #3:
a.) Any time you see a Normal model, you think "z-score." After you use this to find the probability, sum up your answer in a complete sentence, in context.
b.) Look at your Expected Value/Variance formula sheet. The problem tells us Team = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4......
c.) Use your mean and standard deviation from b....z-scores again!
2002B #2
a.) In which of the cases in the table would all the people get a seat? Think about how many seats there are, and so how many would fit. ___ or ___ ....
b.) If there are 41 tickets sold, and 36 people showed up, how many no showed? Rewrite your probability table with these numbers of no-shows. Then, you got it.
c.) Conditional probability! Use the formula.
2005B #2
a.) You got that.
b.) How would we find T (total tickets)? For instance, if we sold 3 child tickets and 4 adults tickets, we sold 7 total, right? What did we do there? Write an equation...T = ?. Then, back to that old Rosetta Stone sheet of formulas for expected value and variance.
c.) If I sell 2 child tickets at $15, and 3 adult tickets @ $25, I made.....$105, right? How do we get that? Write me an equation for T (total cost) using C (child tickets) and A (adult tickets).
