Monday HW!

Monday Night's HW: Please complete the following in your textbook...

Page 267: 19, 21

  • For each, write a procedure, simulate (5 trials), then write a conclusion!
  • These are a bit trickier than the weekend hw!
  • For 19 we will have more than the 5 steps we saw in class--because the probability of passing the driving test changes after the first attempt, we will have two "breakdowns" (step 2); we will have to have a breakdown for numbers that represent passing for the first test, and this will then change for the following (subsequent) tests!
  • You can use the random number tables in the back of your book or use the tables below for your homework:



Tomorrow in class we'll do some more classwork/practice with simulations, and then on Wednesday we'll have our chapter 11 quiz! (First we'll do the chapter 11 vocab quiz, then we'll design a simulation)!

Here's the chapter 11 vocab list:
  • Random (Outcome)
  • Pseudorandom Number
  • Response Variable
  • Outcome
  • Component
  • Trial
  • Sample Survey
  • Simulation
  • Experiment (know what it is and that it's the only way to establish cause-and-effect)
  • Observational Study
  • Given a context identify the component, outcome, and response variable
