4.2 Theoretical Probability

4.3 Odds and Probability

Learning Activities:

Complete the following questions, and make sure to check your answers at the back of the textbook. There is an answer key there. Make sure to ask questions in class if you are not getting the right answers.

_____ p.154-155 #1-9 (Section 4.1)

_____ p. 162-164 #1-9(Section 4.2)

_____ p.165 “The Roots of Math: Weather Balloons and Prediction”

_____ p.172-173 #1-8 (Section 4.3)

_____ p.175-177 #1-11 (Review)

Assessment

This unit will have two assessment pieces – a project and a test. The test will be based on the review on p.104-107. You will hand in the project by the date of the test. We will set the test date together, but it will be around the beginning of October. The test and the project will each be worth 5% of your final grade.
