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
