Important Announcement: Test 2 will be on Wednesday, 7 October 2009 and will cover Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 and, maybe, some of Chapter 6.
Today, we discussed several additional rules of probability and practiced them with many examples. Please make sure that you remember each rule and know when to use each rule.
Here is a link to an applet that simulates the Monty Hall problem (a different one than was used in class): http://math.ucsd.edu/~crypto/Monty/monty.html – This applet keeps a record of everyone who has played the game, so that you can see the long-term [frequentist] probability.

The next homework assignment (typically due on Mondays) will be collected on Wednesday, 7 October 2009 so that you can study from the assignment:
Section 5.1: # 9, 11, 15-33 odd, 37, 45, 47
Section 5.2: # 1-41 odd
Section 5.3: # 11, 12, 16*, 17*, 20*, 21*
Section 5.4: # 1–7 odd, 9-19* odd
* We will complete some examples similar to these during the next class.
