M/C - 1-2 questions
C.R - at most three questions -- most likely 2.
POSSIBLE TYPE QUESTIONS
1) Pathway Problem (PASCALS triangle - type solution)
2) F.C.P (fundamental counting principle). Tree Diagrams/Sample Space/Notation/Factorials/and maybe Perms and Coms
*3)* Independent and Dependent Events - where the "denominator" changes from part to part.
4) Mutually Inclusive/Exclusive Events
Mutually Exclusive(cannot overlap) - P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
Mutually Inclusive(can overlap) - P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A&B)
Example(s):
-10 people emergency 7 people(shock), 8 people(broken bone), 2 people(cuts)
a)P(shock)
A=7/10
b)P(broken bones)
B=8/10
c)P(cuts/abrasions)
C=2/10
d) Which could be mutually exclusive? And which are definitely not?
Could be Mutually Exclusive: shock and cuts and broken bones and cuts.
Definitely Shock and Broken Bones can not be Mutually Exclusive because 15 together is too many people.
