Bellwork reviewed Percent Change problems (Sec 4-4).

The remainder of the period we began discussing Sec 4-5, Probability.  Students used a coin flip to simulate guessing on a five question true or false quiz to find the experimental probability that they would pass (get 3, 4, or 5 questions correct).  We then praticed finding some probabilities using a spinner and the results of a survey.

Hwk #26 is due on Monday, Jan 6.
