This week we will be finishing up our final week of the cirriculum by looking at probability. Begining next week we will be splitting into small groups where every day students will be at a different station in preparation for the EOG test.
Here is what we are looking at this week
Monday- Experimental Probability: Performing an experiment to find out how likely an event is to occur
Tuesday- Tree Diagrams and Fundamental Counting Principle: Drawing a tree diagram to see all the possible outcomes of an event.
Wednesday- Compound events: What are the chances that one event happens as well as another event (chances of rolling a 1 then a 5)
Thursday- Dependent and Independent probability: Occurance of one event does or does not have an effect on the second event happening
Friday- Permutations and Combinations: An arrangement in which order is or is not important.
Since we are not spending a lot of time on probability, there will likely be a homework assignment nearly every night this week. Assignments are not long nor difficult, but students need to spend the time to get them completed so they get the extra practice they need. As always, please email me with any questions/ concerns you may have. nathan.culp@nhcs.net
