Assignment: More Pig Data & 2 Observations
*I do not have a link to graph paper; you will need to get that on your own if you do not have it (this includes picking more up in class)
1) Your first observation on the back of the paper is 3 minutes long. You should have discussed what you know about theoretical and experimental probability, what you think will happen when we increase our sample size to include more data than we had with just our partner (predict), why we think probability works (or does not), how this is mathematical, and basically just anything that you understand about collecting data for a probability experiment. "I don't know," is not an acceptable answer ... I need to know what you DO know. I want to see where you are in this area, so three minutes worth of your thinking is awesome. *note, you may write more if you want to, but it is not required.
2) Making your histogram
A link to the data we are using for each of your classes is HERE.
Be sure to use the data from your period, but if you are super into this, you could use all of it from both period! It's fine either way. Use color, labels, and make it easy to see/read.
3) Follow-up Observation
Well?!?!? What happened?!!?!? Were you surprised, not surprised? Why do you think this happened? What is probability? How is the theoretical probability (what "should" have happend) connected to the experimental (what DID happen)? Would this change by adding more data; significantly or just a bit? Is this enough data to prove the theory? How so?
I want you to time yourself on this one and write (you may type) for 5 minutes. (don't count the time you use sharpening your pencil or thinking about thinking ... count the 5 minutes as activly writing minutes), It is not required to write longer than 5 minutes, just get down what you can in 5. However, if you are into it and you want to add more you certainly can.
Due Monday, March 30
(or if you want to think about it this way, it's due Friday, but you will turn it in next Monday)
