2 Questions for you:

1.  Graph the function at the end of the video segment (Master Jedi Voeller's)

2.  Evaluate  f(-3) and f(5) with that function.

Binomial Probability

Part 1

Part 2

2 questions for class:
1.  If a woman has six children, what is the probability that she will have exactly 5 boys?

2.  Find the 4th term for   (0.28H + 0.72N) ^ 8.     Evaluate that fourth term out fully to find the number in front of  H^5N^3.


Assignment for Yancy and any other slackers out there.....(By the way - heard a good story this week how I don't want to ever send Yancy on a run for sodas in my truck...)   p793 #6-31
