Highway 10 Connexus

Grade 12 students in Manitoba learning Applied Math... They're in two different towns, and happen to be connected by Highway 10...They'll be learning with and from each other. Ryan Maksymchuk and Cam Bennet are teachers in Swan River and Dauphin, Manitoba, respectively. This is a bright idea that may encourage other teachers and students to consider collaborating with other learners in other places...It might work. It might not...Watch and see...

February 11, 2009 D.R.C.S.S

Today at the D.R.C.S.S we did tutorial 1.4 on probability in our text books. We also learner about Independent and Dependent events.

Example: What is the probability that a coin will land heads in each of 4 consecutive tosses?
P(4 heads in a row) = 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2

= 1/16
The probability of tossing 4 heads is 1/16.

    what was the homework assignment? If you want credit for this post, you'll have to describe the difference between independent and dependent events.
