Compacting time! Look over the section summary for section 7.1. Unless you have questions, we will assume that you've already learned this part and we will move on.
Work problem 7.38 (and 7.37 for those who missed class today).
Make progress on your book. If you need a book approved, send me an email.

Chapter 6 - Probability
Now probability wasn't so bad, was it?
Today we investigated multiple representations of categorical data: contingency tables, tree diagrams, and Venn diagrams. Each has its merits. All will provide the information you need to answer probability problems.
HW due Thursday, Nov 5: Take notes on section 5.2, pages 407-417 in the text. Work at least two problems from each of the problem sets in that section.
Standards: Section IIIA all
Concepts: Law of Large Numbers, multiplication rule, addition rule, sample space, continuous and discrete random variables, independence, expected value.
Essential questions: Why would we call the laws of probability laws? How can they be used? What does mathematical independence mean? How do we extract the important elements from a word problem so we can solve it?
