Thursday = Last HW of Q2

Tonight's homework is our last hw assignment of the second quarter---so let's count it double!
  • HW: Please complete the "Intro to Geometric and Binomial Probability" worksheet provided in class (or below)
  • All answers are provided in parentheses
  • SHOW ALL WORK 
    • Your work (can) be writing geometpdf(, geometcdf(, binompdf(, or binomcdf( with the correct values entered
    • For letters d and L: Binomial Expected Value (binomial because we're given a sample size)
      • d: This (like c last night), is not something we've learned, but you got this...
      • d: Think--what % of people do we expect to speak a language other than English at home?
        • Ok, so if we have 50 Americans and we expect ___% to speak a language other than English at home, how many of those 50 do we expect to speak a language other than English at home?
        • No fancy formulas needed here, just think logically/proportionally!
      • L: use the same logic as D for expected value
        • Standard Deviation of a Binomial = sqrt(npq)

  • Extra Credit (due tomorrow)
    • Calculate each of the probabilities from last night's "Binomial or Geometric? Exit Slip" (about the % of people with a bachelor's degree or higher)... 
    • Show all work!

STAMPS are DUE on EXAM DAY! Start getting those together...
  • Get all of your stamps together
  • Count the number of stamps
  • Count again to double check
  • Write the total number of stamps on the front paper
  • Put them all together (in a folder, envelope, bag, cut out all the stamps and glue them to paper--whatever works)
  • I will generate 5 random names per class and check those totals; if your total number of stamps is incorrect you will receive a 0 for that grade


Today's Class Recap: 
  • Stamp = midterm review
  • Back to probability....chapter 17 = binomial and geometric probability
  • Discussed hw answers and any questions students have
    • Went over part c from our note slides
  • Introduced binompdf and binomcdf
    • Completed questions e, f, g, h, and i from our notes slides

Suggested Midterm Review HW:
  • Complete the 1999 and/or the 2004 free response provided in class (yesterday)
  • (ALWAYS) Score your response--this will allow you to check your understanding, and it will also give you some insight into how I will be grading your midterms!
    • Choose the "scoring guidelines" (for the appropriate year) to see the scoring rubric--scroll down to the appropriate number to find the rubrics
