In this unit, you learned how to identify different types of probability experiments as well as counting situations. For example:

·         If I choose a person at random from our group, what’s the probability that they are wearing a skirt? (Theoretical probability)

·         Let’s say that I surveyed our group and found that there were 15 graphic designers, 10 network administrators, and 8 software engineers in our group. What is the probability that the random classmate who responds to my post is a software engineer? (Empirical probability)

Initial Post: Using the counting problem you posted in Unit 3, create a probability problem for your classmates. Be sure to include the problem you posted last week. It can require understanding any of the ideas you have learned — empirical and theoretical probabilities. Please do not answer your question; rather your classmates will answer your question just as you will be answering their posed questions. (However, do make sure to check back to the Discussion Board often and check your classmates’ answers!) Please include the following information:

1) Copy and paste your counting problem from last week.

2) Provide a situational context for the probability question.

3) Clearly state the probability question to be answered without answering the questions or stating the type of probability.

First Response to a Classmate: Select a probability question to answer from a classmate’s initial post. Identify the type of probability and anything else required to solve the probability question. Make sure to fully answer the question in a complete sentence.

Second Response to a Classmate: Find a probability question that is different than the type that you proposed or answered and further the conversation by discussing why the specific formula was used to solve the problem.

Discussion Requirements

Throughout this course, you will respond to other people’s opinions and comments by participating in the Discussion Boards. It is helpful to complete your Reading prior to answering the Discussion topics.

The complete Discussion topics can be found by clicking on the Discussion content item in the menu to the left under this unit. Be sure to answer one of the provided questions, comment on at least two of your classmates' posts, and engage one another in discussion.

Discussion Board grading rubrics include points for posts which “…contribute to the quality of the discussion.” In order to earn full credit, students are strongly encouraged to post by Saturday night so that posts will engage other students and provide a quality contribution. Be sure your post is grammatically correct, has been spell checked, and you have fully answered the question. A response to a classmates’ post must be substantive; posts such as “Great job” or “I agree” will not be counted as a response. See the rubric for further details. Provide citations for any websites referred to in your posts and summarize in your own words any information shared in your post.

In this unit you will be discussing probability and composing your own probability question. This Discussion will further your understanding of how probability theory can be used to solve problems.
