M1 Class Summary for Feb 19, 2017

Instructor:Fatima Al-Raisi
Attendance:Eman, Suhaib
HomeworkDue Feb 26
Beast 4D
Geometric probabilities problems 69, 70, 71, and 74
Independent and dependent event probabilities: 81, 85
probability
Probability of complements: 89, 90, 91
Class Activities:-Review of probability
-Geometric probabilities: 69, 73
-Probability of independent events: 75, 77
-Probability of dependent events 79, 80, 82, 83, 84
-Probability and counting (revisited): 86
-Probability of complement events (revisited)
Concepts-Probability as fraction
-Geometric probabilities
-Probability of independent and dependent events 
-Probability of complement events (it's sometimes easier to compute the probability of the complement and obtain from it the probability of the event in question)
-Probability and counting 
Student Difficulties-need to review some concepts from counting chapter

1. when given a word problem, students are sometimes confused between arrangement and combination concepts (whether order matters or not which leads to different computation logic) and need to be given explicit instructions about whether order matters in the problem even when it can be deduced from the problem description
2. similar confusion on whether repetition is allowed or not (counting chapter, number of choices concepts) 
Notes-students have not been submitting all homework problems (including those who attended)
-when students miss a class they should still try to do the homework. Parents should check announcements for class summary and exercises
