Section 7.2 Students will explore more with probability. Students will do conditional probability, independent probability and using two way tables to get probability.
Eight the hard way Work through 7-67 page 398 Discuss answers
Conditional Probability Probability of an event given another event has occured Independent and Dependent Independent – first event has nothing to do with second flipping a coin and roiling a die Dependent – first event affects the outcome of the second Picking a marble and not replacing it Specific section of a table of data, like eight the hard way Mutually Exclusive – if they both can’t occur at the same time
7-68 Using a 2 way table When do you use all the data when do you use specific sections Look how the questions are worded how would this be written as a probability
Example What is the probability of guessing a student doesn’t have long hair? What is the probability the student is wearing jeans and doesn’t have long hair? Are these independent? Are these events mutually exclusive?
