Welcome to Geometry Applications of Probability! I can't wait to help you navigate through the course and work towards success. While I won't be out in front duringthe course, I will be here behind the scenes and always available to help you get everything you can out of the course. First, lets let at the big ideas for this course!

Course Learning Objectives

1. Students can categorize the subsets of a sample space: union, intersection, and complement (GSE9-12.S.CP.1).

2. Students can determine the probability of compound events, which occur in everyday life, using the Multiplication Rule for Independent Events and Addition Rule (GSE9-12.S.CP.2).

3. Students can classify events that occur in everyday life as dependent (without replacement) or independent (with replacement) and find the probability of the events occurring (GSE9-12.S.CP.3).

4. Students can calculate conditional probability given two events that occur in everyday life (Probability of A, given B) (GSE9-12.S.CP.4).

5. Students can use probabilities to prove that events are independent, (i.e., P(A|B) = P(A) and P(B|A = P(B)) (GSE9-12.S.CP.5).

6. Students can use probabilities from a two-way table to determine independence of events (GSE9-12.S.CP.6).

7. Students can explain why conditional probability changes when the order of the events occurring is reversed (i.e., P(A|B) P(B|A)) (GSE9-12.S.CP.7)
