We worked problems from Ch. 5-1, 5-2, 5-3 on finding z-scores from areas, areas from z-scores, finding the areas given the z-score for different configurations.
We went through her notes and did the sample problems including understanding the normal distribution, x-bar, mu, and sigma, z-score, standard normal distribution, how to find the area under the standard normal distribution given the z-score and finding the z-score given the standard normal distribution, how to calculate areas that are above the z-score and when there are two z-scores, how to use the z-score and standard normal distribution to find the probabilities with the normal distribution.
We went through the difference between the binomial, geometric and poisson distribution.

Lesson Comments
Again she was 20 minutes late, we were supposed to start at 8:15 and she came in at 8:35 completely stressed about her phone that her mother took away. She could not focus at all and is not prepared for this test. She did not listen to me about practicing the problems. Her mother wants me to be responsible for her practicing at home, yet does not want to do anything to check on that. Her grades have not been the best because she cannot focus, and doesn't practice enough.
We went through sample problems in Statistics dealing with Discrete Probability Distribution. She needs to go through some practice problems that I suggested in the book to help solidify the information.
We went through the basics of the Binomial Probability Distribution, Geometric Distribution and Poisson Distribution. We did a couple of example problems on creating probability distributions and calculating the mean, variance and standard deviation.
We went through some concepts that will be on her test today in probability. She definitely needs a bit more practice before the test to solidify some of the concepts.
We went through multiple examples and concepts with probability, The Addition Rule, Multiplication Rule, Conditional Probability, the "probability of at least one," and basic probability. She needs to go through the multiplication rule and "probability of at least one" a bit more to get it down and solid.
She came in with a homework assignment due Monday dealing with the following rules with counting and probability: The Fundamental Counting Rule, Permutations and Combinations Rule, and applying them.
