2/2 Lesson 5.2.3 Introduction to Compound Events

1.  Warm-up:  Do the following probability statements represent Theoretical probability or Experimental probability?  Justify your decision.

a)  Jason notices that a number cube has 6 sides.  3 of the sides are odd, and 3 are even.  Therefore, he declares that P(odd) = 50%

b)  Paola is randomly picking colored blocks from a bag, recording the color, and replacing it in the bag.  After 50 trials, she has chosen 10 red blocks.  She concludes P(red) = 10/50 or 1/5

c)  Georgia wants to play the Prime number game.  (remember, our warm-up from yesterday?)  She uses a random number generator 10 times and records the results.  6 of those results are prime, so she decides to be the prime number player because it appears more likely.

d)  A college professor uses advanced probability concepts to explain why you have a 62.5% chance of receiving all 3 ponies if you visit McBurger's 5 times.


2.  Pass back Algebra Tiles/ Percent Quiz

3.  Double Quiz on Thursday.
   
  Algebra Tiles:
  • Perimeter and Area
  • Simplifying expressions (zero pairs)
   Percent and proportions



4.  Lesson 5.2.3  Introduction to Compound Events
  • Objective:  I will examine the probability of compound events and determine if they are dependent or independent
  • Problems 43 through 46 in teams: Team Consensus Checkmarks
    • Today, it is important that you read the problems out loud so everyone can hear

Homework:  Lesson 5.2.3 R/P #50-52
