The Probability Models Hangers

Algebra, Functions & Data AnalysisThe Algebra, Functions & Data Analysis (AFDA) class at MSHS is designed to bridge the concepts taught in Algebra I with Algebra II. We use the Pearson Custom Publishing book titled Algebra, Functions, and Data Analysis.

In suspension bridges, a hanger is a thinner cable that connects the suspender (main) cable to the deck. When viewed together, the hangers resemble the strings of a harp. By analogy, the information presented in Chapter 6 strings together several probability subtopics, including theoretical & experimental probabilities, independent & dependent events, mutually exclusive events, conditional probabilities, and binomial experiments & probabilities.

My Powerpoint lessons for this chapter, linked under the "Powerpoint Lessons" sidebar on the right, are intended for use in class in conjunction with the student notes. I have noted the file size for those still needing to use dial-up connections. The Student Notes & Objectives file is linked to the chapter designation underneath the sidebar header.

Note: Due to time constraints, I am most likely going to be posting the course materials throughout the school year as I get them ready for presentation in class for the first time. Please bear with me on this, and email me if you are seeking materials for a particular topic that hasn't yet been uploaded.
