Do Now

Consider the following problem and decide which of the suggested bets you would be happiest to put your money on.

  • A bag contains 10 counters, 3 red, 2 blue and 5 green ones

  • A counter is drawn from the bag and then put back, then another counter is drawn from the bag?

Alternatively.....

Review your quiz from Friday along with the answer key. If you earned less than an 80% (13/16) you have the opportunity to earn back some points by completing an additional problem. The highest grade that you can earn is an 80% (13/16). You should only do this AFTER you have reviewed and studied your quiz to see what you got wrong. You can earn up to 6 points back with this question but the max is 13/16.
