Project 1 is due on 30 September 2009.

Next Quiz on Wednesday, 30 September 2009 and will cover Section 5.1.

Today we covered Section 5.1 and discussed the three types of probability:

  1. frequentist;
  2. classicist;
  3. subjective.

When we use a ‘fair’ coin or ‘fair’ die, then we can construct a sample space and use the classicist definition of probability. Lastly, we discussed two rules of probability – the ones that are important for probability models.

Next homework assignment consists of at least the following:

Section 5.1: # 9, 11, 15-33, 37, 45, 47
Section 5.2*: # 1-41 odd

*We will discuss Section 5.2 on Wednesday.
