section 10.6  - as with the previous assignment, these problems involve making a tree diagram to determine the probability, then make the table to assign values to those probabilities.

  • problems
    • 6 - the table will have 11 possible outcomes (11 columns). Die rolls that add to 2, 3, 4.....11, 12 determine probability from the table in part a.

section 10.6 This is an ever harder section than 10.5. Read and understand the introduction!

  • Read intro, understand expected value. This is also sometimes called the long run value. 
  • Skip Investigation for similar reasons to 10.4, there are too few students to generate enough data to see the trend.
  • Read Example A. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS! Study the table given in the solution, this is the type of table we will use in every problem, understand it! I will break the data apart to show why this works but try to understand it as it is written. 
  • Read and understand Example B. In the case of Example A, there was end to the series because no litters had more than 6 puppies. In Example B the series goes on into infinity. Though it is not discussed, the expected value in this case is the asymptote for the situation. This is a strange concept. With each iteration you are adding another value to the previous cumulative sum.  Since you are adding a value one would think the cumulative sum would increase forever. However, as you will see it does approach and expected value, which we see as an asymptote on a graph.
  • Problems:
    • 1 - Again, understand the table!
    • 2
    • 3 - make the table
    • 4 - reading and using histograms
    • 5 - the table

section 10.5 - this is where is starts to get hard. Make sure you read the introduction carefully.

  • We will not do the investigation because with so few students the observed probability may not reflect the theoretical probability reducing the educational value. However, you should read it to understand the tree diagram shown in step 4 and step 8.
  • Read and understand Example A
  • Learn the terms independent and  dependent or conditional
  • Read and understand Example B
  • Read and understand The Multiplication Rule. VERY IMPORTANT Make sure you understand the notation!

section 10.4

  • Read everything but you can skip the investigation
  • Uber important! understand the definition of permutation and combination! This is ridiculously important!
  • Read and reread if necessary 
    • example A - permutation
    • example B - permutation
    • example C - combination
  • Understand the notation nPr and nCr. Your calculator can do these calculations (of course) I'll show you how, but I also want you to understand how to do it using "symbolic manipulation". It is an excellent example of "reduce before you multiply".
  • Problems

section 10.3    section 10.3 investigation calculator notes

  • read everything
  • understand the term: random
  • I will provide the "calculator notes" for the investigation
    • step 5 - use stat plot with lines connecting the points
    • step 6 - in Y1 enter the equation for the theoretical probability: it will be a horizontal line, slope = 0
    • you can skip step 7 but read it and think about it.
    • you do not need to write an answer for step 8 but make sure you can answer it.

    • 2 - capture recapture

section 10.2

  • Read everything - the definitions in this section are very important. The concept of "number of possible outcomes" is crucial for subsequent sections.

    • outcomes
    • probability
    • understand the notation P(grey squirrel) you will use this notation throughout the chapter

section 10.1

  • Read everything. This is a new topic, make sure you understand the new terms. these terms will be used throughout the chapter.
  • Example A tells you how to use your calculator to determine the degrees in each pie wedge in a circle graph. If you study it you should realize it is just a percent calculation.
  • Example is a percent calculation as well.
  • complete the following problems
