STUDY AGAIN!

Tomorrow we have round two--our probability vocab test, and there will also be 2 math problems mixed in (yay)! You will have 25 minutes to complete this test!

Again, STUDY, STUDY, STUDY! We HAVE to ace these vocab tests--it's all about preparation.

Use your chapter 14, 15, and 16 quizzes to review (I gave you the ch. 16 vocab quiz in class today); make a quizlet, make flashcards, whatever works--but come ready!

Probability Vocabulary List:
  • Probability
  • Law of Averages
  • Law of Large Numbers
  • Equally Likely
  • Sample Space
  • Complement
  • Independent (Events)
  • Mutually Exclusive aka Disjoint (Events)
  • Union
  • Intersection
  • Venn Diagram
  • Tree Diagram
  • Conditional Probability
  • Random Variable
  • Probability Model
  • Expected Value
  • Variance
  • Standard Deviation 
  • Discrete Random Variable
  • Continuous Random Variable
  • Shifting
  • Rescaling
  • Pythagorean Theorem of Statistics
What else is (or could be) on the vocab test?
  • Determine if given events are disjoint, independent, neither, or both (never both!)
  • Determine if a given question requires conditional probability or not
  • Interpret expected value
  • Shifting/Rescaling Stuff
  • 2 more math problems...surprise!
Chapter 16 Vocab Quiz Key:

  4. E
  5. C
  6. B
  7. D
  8. A
  9. B
  10. D
  11. A

After tomorrow's test we will start our last chapter of probability (chapter 17: binomial and geometric probability)! We'll continue with this Friday, and then for the three days after break! See you there!


Here's the plan for the rest of the unit (and what happened today):
  • Wednesday (12/19): Chapter 14-16 Probability Test
  • Thursday (12/20): Chapter 14-16 Vocab Test (20 min), then Chapter 17 intro notes
  • Friday (12/21): More Chapter 17 Notes (binomial and geometric probability)
  • Wednesday (1/2) to Friday (1/4): Finish probability unit (chapter 17) with ANOTHER "mini test" on probability....
  • There will be a take home assignment over break! It will either be....
    • Take Home Test (review of everything!)
    • "Teaching Yourself Chapter 13" Assignment
