Today we started talking about probability theory. Our book has a chapter on probability if you want a different take on the subject. We did this workshop in class:
Today we went over three rules from probability theory. We also talked about independent events. You can find an explanation and examples in this set of guided notes/workshop:
Today we did a few more examples using the probability rule from Wednesday. We also talked about how probability models with a finite number of outcomes are called discrete while probability models with an infinite range of possible outcomes are called continuous. The normal distribution is an example of a continuous probability model.
