The tutor and student worked through problems related to statistical distributions, focusing on the application of the Empirical Rule and Z-scores for normal distributions. They practiced calculating standard deviations, determining data ranges, and approximating percentages, and discussed the limitations of the Empirical Rule when a distribution is not normal.
Z-Scores and Z-Tables
Normal Distribution Properties
Interpreting Histograms
The Empirical Rule
The student and tutor worked together to understand and apply the empirical rule in statistics. They practiced calculating probabilities within given standard deviations and worked through examples to reinforce the 68-95-99.7 rule. The next session was scheduled for Mondays at 6 PM (student's time) to continue this practice.
The Empirical Rule
Standard Deviation & Mean in Normal Distribution
Calculating Probabilities with Standard Deviations
The student practiced solving word problems involving unit rates through decimal long division. The tutor provided step-by-step guidance on setting up the division and executing the calculation by hand, reinforcing the process with two examples. The session concluded with the student expressing increased confidence in remembering the steps.
Unit Rate Calculation
Decimal Division by Hand
Problem Setup for Rates and Budgets
Division with Decimals in Both Numbers (Miles Per Gallon)
The Student and Tutor worked on probability problems, focusing on conditional probability and the union of events. The Student reviewed previously completed test questions, identifying and correcting errors in calculations and logic. The Tutor provided explanations and guidance on applying the correct formulas and understanding the underlying concepts.
Probability: Union of Events
Conditional Probability
Independent vs. Dependent Events
Applying Probability to Real-World Scenarios
The student and tutor reviewed various probability and statistics concepts, including calculating probabilities from histograms, defining sample spaces, and identifying mutually exclusive events. They practiced problems involving simulations, dice rolls, and selections from groups, and discussed conditional probability and independent events.
Probability of Independent Events
Mutually Exclusive Events
Conditional Probability
Sample Space
Probability of 'Not' Events
The class reviewed probability and statistics concepts, including calculating probabilities for various scenarios, understanding independent and dependent events, and applying the addition rule. The student practiced problems involving spinners, card decks, and data tables, with a focus on conditional probability and checking for independence.
