We spent most of the session reviewing yesterday's lesson as Emma had experienced difficulty understanding what to do for her homework assignment.

I went over the questions she had from her assigned homework problems. We reinforced the concept of a transformed random variable and its distribution and parameters, and applied it probability distributions and using the normal distribution to find the probability of a transformed random variable being less than a given value.

We interrelated previous lessons on how the sample standard deviation and the sample mean are affected when a linear transformation is performed on the original data. Now we apply the same principal to random variable parameters.

We started section 6.1, learning the difference between a discrete and a continuous random variable. We also covered the components of a probability distribution table and the formulas for the mean and standard deviation.

We worked through the questions she had about her homework assignment, then Emma had an optometrist appointment.

We revisited the topics of Chapter 5 and AP Stats Practice Test questions.

We worked on problems from the text involving finding a probability distribution for several discrete random variables, drawing a histogram and finding probabilities for given outcomes.

We worked through questions Emma had about her Chapter 5 Review assigned exercises. We also discussed applications of probability to card games. We another course project in which we will play a card game and calculate the probability of drawing certain cards as we play.

Introduction to probability distributions and interrelation of probability models

We continued to work on Emma's survey script and discuss possible future projects.
