*Remember, the worksheet I gave you in class is these same problems from the textbook, just typed up...so if you lost it, use your book! And check your answers in the book!*

Also, we will have a major quiz on Tuesday. Tomorrow in class we will do some more practice (or STAR), and then we will move onto chapter 16 on Monday. I will be after school on Monday to review for the quiz; the quiz will cover everything that we have learned about probability thus far!

Tuesday HW

Good work today! Tomorrow we'll continue to work with some conditional probability...we'll look at the insurance example (on the back of the paper we started today) and then you'll have some practice on your own!

Tonight, please complete questions a-g on the worksheet we started in class. Here is the worksheet (in case you were out or lost yours):

Homework Questions:
Example 2: HIV Testing

The OraQuick In-Home HIV Test: Oral fluid HIV tests are very accurate. In studies, the OraQuick oral fluid test detected 91.7 percent of people who were infected with HIV, and 99.9 percent of people who were not infected with HIV.
The prevalence of HIV is estimated to be about 0.5% in the general population.Oral fluid HIV tests are very accurate. In studies, the OraQuick oral fluid test detected 91.7 percent of people who were infected with HIV, and 99.9 percent of people who were not infected with HIV.If you have more questions about oral fluid HIV tests, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider. He or she can help you figure out the best test for you.Oral fluid HIV tests are very accurate.

b.)   What is the probability that an individual has HIV and tests negative?
c.)   What is the probability that an individual does not have HIV and tests positive?
d.)   What percent of people who take the OraQuick test will test positive for HIV?
e.)   What is the probability that someone has HIV if we know they tested positive using the Oraquick test?
f.)    What is the probability that someone who tested positive with the Oraquick test actually does not have HIV?
g.)   What is the probability that someone who tested negative actually does have HIV?

Tuesday: Ch. 15 Notes: Conditional and Tree Diagrams
Wednesday: Ch. 15 Notes/Practice

Happy Thanksgiving!

First and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving! You have all worked incredibly hard thus far...enjoy these few days to rest, relax, and enjoy some time with your friends and family! We'll get back to work on some conditional probability on Monday!

Of course your homework is to complete your take home test for Monday. As you know, you must show work for any of the starred multiple choice questions. Use your notes, use the links on the right, watch some AP Stats guy videos, and use your Barron's review guide--come back on Monday ahead of the game, rather than feeling behind!

Your take home test is uploaded under our classroom resources entitled, "Thanksgiving Take Home Test." (In case you were out, lost yours, or need another copy).

If you get bored at any point over the next 5 days check out the Statistics rap songs under "Statistics Music" link.

Or, watch some videos:

Monday HW!

We're halfway done the week (of Stats at least) already!

Tomorrow we'll do some more work with conditional probability and get our take-home tests! Yayyy!

Tonight, please complete the following in your textbook:  (I'm definitely checking!)

Page 362 : 1, 7, 17, 19

Enjoy your rainy (but warm) Monday! I'm off to make your take home test (don't worry, it won't be too long). See you all tomorrow!

Weekend HW!

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving (already)! I guess time flies when you're having fun :). For real though, you all are making this a super fun year for me...I truly appreciate all of your hard work you put in. I expect/demand a lot from you, and I know that sometimes I may even be a jerk (I'm sorry! I just want to keep pushing you!). So anyway, thanks for being awesome! Keep up the great work all year!

This weekend, the homework differs by class. On Monday we'll all be back to the same point...

All of the homework is below (as images) in case you lost any of the handouts or were absent.

Period B: Please complete the AP problem provided in class (dealing with golf balls). If you were absent, we also did the multiple choice questions below (to be collected and graded); do those so you're not behind! You must show work for each question to receive credit! All period B students--if you would like, you can re-do these multiple choice for Monday. You must show work/explain your answer to earn credit though! I will collect your re-do on Monday and give you this grade (instead of what you gave me in class).

Period E: Please complete the AP problem provided in class (dealing with golf balls). In addition, please also complete the 4 AP multiple choice questions provided in class. (These will be collected and graded; you must show work or explain your answer for each problem to earn credit!).

Period F: Please complete the AP problem provided in class (dealing with golf balls). If you were absent, we also did the multiple choice questions below (to be collected and graded), so do those so you're not behind! You must show work for each question to receive credit! All period F students--if you would like, you can re-do these multiple choice for Monday. You must show work/explain your answer to earn credit though! I will collect your re-do on Monday and give you this grade (instead of what you gave me in class).

Lastly, if you were absent, we finished the Venn Diagram problems (also below) as a classwork grade. Get these done for Monday so that you're not behind!
