Monday/Tuesday HW!

I have high hopes for the grades on today's test....hopefully we can have a Stats-wide average of at least a B-!

Tonight/tomorrow, please complete the 6 probability slides provided in class. I will check this on Wednesday, along with the textbook problems that were due today (I didn't want to bother you during your test). Here are some hints for the homework...

• The homework problems are uploaded under our classroom resources, entitled, "Intro Probability HW."
• If you do not have these on Wednesday you will get a 0. Even if you were absent.
• For the problems about the M&M's or rolling a die, you want to try to translate the problem using the words "AND" and "OR". "AND" means we multiply, "OR" means we add
• For example, one question asks for the probability that we roll 3 dice (or one die 3 times, same thing) and they're all sixes...
• In other words, this means we roll a "6" and a "6" and a "6."
• The probability of rolling a 6 on a die is (1/6)
• So "6 AND 6 AND 6" means (1/6) times (1/6) times (1/6).
• For the last two slides about basketball/soccer or the displays/equations on pages in the textbook, try to draw a Venn diagram
• Fill in the middle ("both") first, if you can!

I know that I haven't taught you this yet! We're going to go through all of these problems as part of our notes...but to receive homework credit you have to at least try your best! I want to see what we already do/don't know about probability. You have to try all 6 problems to receive  homework credit!

Other than that, enjoy your day off! New stuff on Wednesday...lots of math....I can't wait!
