Slides 3-9 (10 minutes) ADMIN: go through the slides up to 'For Next Time' 10 minutes NOTE: Solutions to in-class problems will be posted after class Slide 10 (1 minute) Platonic dice: We don't have dice yet, so just describe them. Slide 11 (5 minutes) Prob vs stats: give some examples Prob: prob. of 14 heads in 20 tosses of a fair coin Stats: Is a coin that produced 14 heads in 20 tosses fair Stats: Is a drug that does slightly better than a placebo in a trial actually helpful DISCUSS TOY EXAMPLES Slide 12 (2 minutes) SIMPLE COUNTING prob of exactly 1 head in 3 tosses Write out all possiblilities count to get prob Why we want to learn to count: Prob of exactly 4 heads in 12 tosses Slide 13,14 (2 minutes) POKER HANDS: Somewhat complicated. Make a guess at CQ: answer tomorrow Slides 15-19 (1 minute) Slides: ASSUME FAMILIAR WITH: Sets, Venn, products (4 minutes) Discuss inclusion exclusion (8 minutes) Do Board Question on band — THIS IS PRACTICE STARTING BOARD QUESTIONS (3 minutes) DISCUSS the solution It is worth giving a careful solution so they'll see that that's what we do. Slides 20-21 (21 has a pause) (3 minutes) The rule of product --For the DNA concept question we'll do it by having them show 1-4 fingers and eyeball the distribution. --Remind them that we'll do this with phone/computers in the future Give answers: emphasize that the second problem is still the rule of product -need narrative. JO give problems. JF give solutions Slides 22-24 I'll introduce, (Work 12 minutes, discuss 8 minutes) Board questions 2 and 3: do both board question (olympics, clothes) at once (Look at the tree I've put in the slides for the solution to the shirt/pants/sweaters problem. Students will find many ways to do this.) Go through solutions —olympics problem one minute -clothes problem: use solution slide Jem Slides 25 - 28 (7 minutes) permutations and combinations -- This and the rule of product are usually very difficult for students to retain and know when to use later in the semester. -- Ask them to talk through listing permutations of 3 from a set of 4 Then show next slide (26) with them all listed -- combinations of 3 things our of 4 Slides 29-30 (5 minutes) Formulas and notations PROBABLY SKIP EXPLANATION FOR TIME: Show rule of product argument for permutations. Slide 29 is an example Slide 31 IF TIME: Give the last board question. IF TIME: Give solution if time. Announce NEXT TIME WE START WITH THE POKER HANDS QUESTION
