Happy New Year

Well, 2015 has begun!  Some of you may think that you are not ready to come back to school yet.  My philosophy, if we don't come back from Christmas, we can't get to Spring Break and then ultimately, to Summer.

This week we will begin a new unit over probability.  We will begin with the basics, move on to experimental and theoretical probability, sample spaces and the fundamental counting principle, and independent and dependent events.  As we progress through this unit we will be maintaining a Vocabulary page to keep all the definitions straight.

Bonus Question of the Week

What is the probability of being dealt a Royal Flush in the game of poker?

In order to receive credit you must copy the question, show the work required to solve the problem, and provide the correct answer.  The question must be turned in by Friday, January 16th.
