For Thurs, Dec 19

Here's what to aim to complete in OLI by Thurs:

Screens 104-106
Unit 3, Mod 6: Finding Probability of Events
Investigate Difference between Disjoint and Independent Events

In case you want to work ahead, the plan is to finish Module 6 by Jan 9.

In class on Thursday, we will be collecting survey data, based on your plans:

  • Ethan, Ben, Cammy and I will be going to the shopping center to collect data
  • Margaret and Bobby will be finishing up their data collection
  • Baird and Ashlin will be collecting data from PLCers
The next step will be to analyze your data, so if you have time, you can work on plans to enter the data into a dataset.
