Back to work Monday!
I'm pretty pumped for some expected value and variance on Monday!
I've posted your exam/quarter/semester grades under "Powerpoints and Assignments" (along with some sweet statistical analysis of our performance). You can find the document titled "Midterm Exam Grades."
PERIOD B: NO HOMEWORK! My bad!
Have a fantastic (3 day) weekend! Get rejuvenated and be ready to get back to work on Monday!

B PERIOD--NO HOMEWORK!
I forgot about the extra AP problem for period E today, the 2011 AP problem on independence is NOT due Monday.
You WILL eventually have it as homework--so if you want to get ahead, go ahead and do the problem, research the answer, and stash it somewhere you won't lose it.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Good luck on the rest of your exams!

Exams Exams Exams!
So study study study! Hopefully I'll see a bunch of you after school today for some review.
Put in some time before your test. Work through some Barron's problems--that's why you get those (somewhat expensive) books for free! Use them!
After the exam you were given a 2011 FR question--this one problem is your homework, due Monday. Sorry for exam week homework, but spend 20 minutes trying to work this out. Then, after a legit 20 minutes of thinking, google this to check your answer (and make any corrections). I'll be checking this as your first homework assignment due Monday 1/30/12.
If it's not assumed, you shouldn't really worry about your AP problem until Friday--you should be studying for your other exams all week!

Thursday HW: 2 AP Problems
Soooo--I was thinking of a different problem when I said "easiest problem ever on an AP exam." This 2011 question isn't quite that easy.
For homework, please complete 2007#2 and 2011#1 (AP Free-Response problems). This will count as 2 homeworks and we will review these (after your probability quiz!).
See you tomorrow!

Wednesday HW
Please complete the 17 multiple choice (all from chapter 15) provided in class. This will be collected and graded--and worth 25 points!
This will be your second to last grade this quarter....last you'll have a pop quiz on Friday on some probability :)
I've uploaded the multiple choice for tonight under our powerpoints and assignments titled, "Chapter 15 MC." (Creative, huh?)

Tuesday HW
Tonight please complete page 362: 1,3,5,6,7,8,9.
Also...study! Quick quiz to start off class tomorrow. I've put some practice questions (with answers) for you to try below--study!
IQ scores can be described by the Normal model N(100,15). We’ll consider someone to be of “Above Average Intelligence” if their IQ falls between 110 and 130.
a. What is the probability a person has above average intelligence? (0.2297)
b. If you examine 4 people, what is the probability that none are in the above average category? (0.3521)
c. If you examine 4 people, what is the probability that all four are “above average?” (0.0028)
d. If you examine 10 people what is the probability that at least one is “above average?” (0.926)
e. If you examine 10 people what is the probability that exactly one is “above average?” (0.219) ***Don’t forget to multiply by 10 to account for the 10 different ways to arrange this one person!***
f. What is the probability that you find the first “above average” person on the 5th person? (0.0809)

Probability HW
Lots (maybe) of stuff to do tonight...
First off, please complete your 26 probability multiple choice. This will be collected and graded (26 points) tomorrow in class.
Second, please complete the "AP Problem: Using Probability" worksheet; this will be graded as a homework assignment, and gives you a good idea of what to expect on Wednesday's quiz.
See you all tomorrow for some more math!
