  3. After tossing a coin ten times,which of the following sequencesis most likely to occur?H= Head T= TailsHTHTHTHTHTorHHTHTTHTHTGIVE UP YET???

  4. Don’t worry! Unless you’ve taken Probability and Statistics, the chances of you being able to answer that question correctly are less than 20%.

  5. Here’s another statistic… One state that banned texting while driving found there was an increase in the number of vehicle accidents involving texting while driving. (What’s up with that?)

  6. And another…

  7. What’s your FAVORITE statistic???

  8. He said WHAT??

  9. It’s true! We are bombarded by statistics at every turn... whether on the internet, radio, TV, newspaper or other media.

  10. Just a bunch of numbers – right?

  11. What do the numbers tell us?

  12. What do the numbers tell us? More importantly, what do the numbers NOT tell us?

  13. InProbability and Statistics, we collect, describe, analyze and make predictions from statistics. We look at the story behind the numbers....the who, what, when, where, why and how the data was collected.

  14. We look at causation..... Does one factor affect another?

  15. Causation..... • Did you know that data from a national study showed that the number of drowning incidents increases as the consumption of ice cream increases?

  16. Did you know that data from a national study showed that the number of drowning incidents increases as the consumption of ice cream increases? Is Mr. Rochon right?

  17. Did you know that data from a national study showed that the number of drowning incidents increases as the consumption of ice cream increases? Is Mr. Rochon right? Did they make that up?

  18. Did you know that data from a national study showed that the number of drowning incidents increases as the consumption of ice cream increases? Is Mr. Rochon right? Did they make that up? No! The data was collected in the SUMMER!

  19. What else SHOULD you know about Probability and Statistics?

  20. What else SHOULD you know about Probability and Statistics? • It’s a semester course. Students can take Discrete Math the other semester.

  21. What else SHOULD you know about Probability and Statistics? • It’s a semester course. Students can take Discrete Math the other semester. • It is an introductory course to college Statistics- yes, you’ll probably have to take Statistics in college!

  22. What else SHOULD you know about Probability and Statistics? • It’s a semester course. Students can take Discrete Math the other semester. • It is an introductory course to college Statistics- yes, you’ll probably have to take Statistics in college! • The prerequisite for the course is Algebra 2

  23. After tossing a coin ten times,which of the following sequencesis most likely to occur?H= HeadT= TailsHTHTHTHTHTorHHTHTTHTHTThe answer is…

  24. After tossing a coin ten times,which of the following sequencesis most likely to occur?H= Head T= TailsHTHTHTHTHTorHHTHTTHTHTBoth sequences have an equal chance of occurring.

  25. Sooo…what’s the probability that you’ll sign up for Probability and Statistics?

  26. Sooo…what’s the probability that you’ll sign up for Probability and Statistics? We hope it’s 100%!!
