Agenda

1) Bell Ringer
2) Homework review
3) Independent Events
4) Review for Quiz

Objective: Students should be able to identify dependent and independent events and calculate probability accordingly.

Bell ringer( we went over it in class)

1) P(M)= 91/150
2) P(M) ∪ P(C)= 91+20/150 = 111/150
3) P(P) ∩ P(M)= 16/91

Homework Review
During class, we went over question 6 from page 483.

You are supposed to draw a venn diagram to solve the problem. (I'm so sorry- I tried many different ways to copy my venn diagram from microsoft word but it won't work.)

The venn diagram has two circles
1st circle is labeled Mu for mumps and the 2nd circle is labeled as Me for Measles.
The part where the two circles overlap(in the middle) is labeled as Me and Me because it contains both
So, here are the values
Mu= 2
Me=12
Mu and Me(middle)= 12
Outside the circle but inside the box (neither mu or me)= 4
All these values add upto 30.

a) P(Mu)= 14/30
b) P(Mu) - P(Mu
Me)
24/30 -14/30 = 2/30
(you don't have to reduce it because IB doesn't expect you to reduce it on the exams)
c) P(Mu'
Me')= 4/30
d) P(Mu
∩ Me)/ P(Mu)= 12/14

Tomorrow's Quiz
- probability question including chart, tree diagram, and venn diagram.

September 23, 2010: Chapter test for Chap. 14.

Practice question:


Out of 30 kids, 20 love strawberry and chocolate, 24 love chocolate and 23 love strawberry.

a) How many kids love neither of the flavors mentioned above?
b) What is the probability that a kid loves chocolate ONLY?
c) What is the probability that a kid loves chocolate given he loves strawberry?
d) What would you pick? Strawberry or Chocolate? :)

Hey everyone :)
I'm so sorry for not posting the venn diagram :\ I really tried to for the past hour but it didn't work. If you have any questions about today's blog, please let me know. I will be more than glad to help you out! I hope the practice question was easy. Do not forget- we have a quiz tomorrow!!!
Have a blessed day guys.

  5. well on the venn diagram
    two circles nd a middle
    strawberries has 3 because the middle is 20(the kids that love both)
    and chocolate has 4.. that adds to 27, so that makes 3 loves neither.. 30 - 27 = 3
    so..
    a)3/30
    b)4/30
    c)23/30
    d)i like chocolate (: xD

  6. sorry, idk what i did that for, but for c) i meant 4/23 because 4 like chocolate, and given they like strawberry 20+3=23
    so 4/23.
