Happy Monday
More probability today…we looked at Binomial probabilities and guessing on tests…your assignment was to finish the Binomial Prob WS 2 Binomial Probablities and the Alg II text page 657 #31 & 45 and page 668 # 15, 21, & 25. You were to finish the Alg II problems first since we cannot take those books home. Remember we have a quiz tomorrow over Probabilty: Ind/dependent, at least, and conditional. Practice, practice, practice…and check your answers!

Happy Friday! Today we simulated the Birthday problem…and it worked! And did it EVER… 5th block had 6 birthday repeats out of 36! We worked more on conditional probability…homework was to finsh the orange Conditional Probability WS and do the white Dep/Independent events WS. Our next quiz will be on Tuesday over all probability we’ve learned so far. Have a H*A*P*P*Y W*E*E*K*E*N*D

Let’s Make a Deal! Today we performed the experiment on choosing one of 3 doors…was your hypothesis correct? http://www.stat.sc.edu/~west/javahtml/LetsMakeaDeal.html We worked more on conditional probability, interpreting tables/charts from the Alg II textbook, and an orange “At Least” handout. Homework was to finish the orange “At Least” Probability problems. 3 At least notes and practice Today was f*u*n for me

Seen enough factorial signs?
Today we took a quiz over permutations and combinations and began working more with independent and dependent events and conditional probability. Homework is in the red text page 3353 #1-8. Be sure to study the examples on page 351 & 352. Enjoy your afternoon
3 blog probability notes all

More work on permutations and combinations today…homework is a copy of 2 pages of the Alg II textbook…do # 4-7 all, 9-19 odd, 20-39 all. Some problems have c*r*a*z*y big fractions…just put those into a calculator and round to the nearest hundredth (like #7 and 19 , 30-33, and 39b. ) Remember to study for your quiz tomorrow over Counting Principles, Permutations, and Combinations!

We dover deeper into permutations today, exploring what happens when you have repetitions (like in the word, Mississippi) and circular permutations (like our ferris wheel problem). Homework is attached (notice it is written 4 times…obviously only do the problems once
) 2 permutations w repetition circular practice

Today we learned about Permutations, arrangememts where the order matters. Homework was in the red Math 1 text: page 340 #5-13 and page 344 #1-3, 7-18, and 25, 26, and 28. We also learned how to use the factorial and permutation functions on the graphing calculator! Here are some notes you may find useful over this unit. 2 Blog Notes – Permutations and Combinations anf here are the notebook cover and order of contents again. 1 Notebook cover unit 4 1 order of topics
