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...

Sup Yo!

Yesterday we learned Distributions 3.1! We learned about Probabitlity Distribution, Uniform Distribution, A Binomial Experiment and also A Binomial Distribution.

**Probability Distribution: gives the theoretical probability for each outcome of an experiment. it can be displayed as a table or as a graph. Here are two important properties of probability distribution.
1. the probabilities are between 0 and 1.
2. the sum of the probabilities is always 1.

**Uniform Distribution: is a probability distribution in which the probabilities are all equal. For example, an experimen consists of tossing a single 6 - sided die and noting the number on the face of the die.

** Binomial Experiment: has a fixed number of independant trials in which the outcomes can be classified as a sucess or failures.

** Binomial Distribution: is the probability distribution for a binomial experiment.

*We learned the steps on our calculator to calculate and graph binomial distribution!

have a good day...

peace out,
Brady!
