This week, we have finished our unit on Probability and Statistics. Your exam will be on Friday, October 23. This unit is generally the most difficult one for students; please make sure you allow adequate time to study for this exam! Take advantage of the extra problems provided in the exam review and the Probability and Statistics Worksheets on the right hand of the blog.
For your blogs this week, please visit the site below. This website provides many applets to model probability experiments. Of particular interest to you may be the examples under "Finite Sampling Models", "Dice", and "Games of Chance". Play with 2 or 3 of the applets and in your blog, describe the applets you chose. How do they model the probability experiment? How could you actually find the probabilities being modeled?
Probability Applets
Challenge Problem: Research the Monty Hall problem and write a 2-3 paragraph summary of the problem, explaining how to determine whether you should switch doors or not. Were you surprised by the probability in this problem? Be sure to give your references.
