    Teachers Guide to Using the Chapter 12 Resource Masters

    The Chapter 12 Resource Masters includes the core materials needed for Chapter 12. These materials include worksheets, extensions, and assessment options. The answers for these pages appear at the back of this booklet.

    All of the materials found in this booklet are included for viewing and printing on the TeacherWorks PlusTM CD-ROM.

    Chapter ResourcesStudent-Built Glossary (pages 12) These masters are a student study tool that presents up to twenty of the key vocabulary terms from the chapter. Students are to record definitions and/or examples for each term. You may suggest that students highlight or star the terms with which they are not familiar. Give this to students before beginning Lesson 12-1. Encourage them to add these pages to their mathematics study notebooks. Remind them to complete the appropriate words as they study each lesson.

    Anticipation Guide (pages 34) This master, presented in both English and Spanish, is a survey used before beginning the chapter to pinpoint what students may or may not know about the concepts in the chapter. Students will revisit this survey after they complete the chapter to see if their perceptions have changed.

    Lesson ResourcesStudy Guide and Intervention These masters provide vocabulary, key concepts, additional worked-out examples and Check Your Progress exercises to use as a reteaching activity. It can also be used in conjunction with the Student Edition as an instructional tool for students who have been absent.

    Skills Practice This master focuses more on the computational nature of the lesson. Use as an additional practice option or as homework for second-day teaching of the lesson.

    Practice This master closely follows the types of problems found in the Exercises section of the Student Edition and includes word problems. Use as an additional practice option or as homework for second-day teaching of the lesson.

    Word Problem Practice This master includes additional practice in solving word problems that apply the concepts of the lesson. Use as an additional practice or as homework for second-day teaching of the lesson.

    Enrichment These activities may extend the concepts of the lesson, offer an histori-cal or multicultural look at the concepts, or widen students perspectives on the mathematics they are learning. They are written for use with all levels of students.

    Graphing Calculator, TINspire, or Spreadsheet Activities These activities present ways in which technology can be used with the concepts in some lessons of this chapter. Use as an alternative approach to some concepts or as an integral part of your lesson presentation.

    Chapter 12 3 Glencoe Algebra 2

    Before you begin Chapter 12

    Read each statement.

    Decide whether you Agree (A) or Disagree (D) with the statement.

    Write A or D in the first column OR if you are not sure whether you agree or disagree, write NS (Not Sure).

    After you complete Chapter 12

    Reread each statement and complete the last column by entering an A or a D.

    Did any of your opinions about the statements change from the first column?

    For those statements that you mark with a D, use a piece of paper to write an example of why you disagree.

    Step 2

    Step 1

    Anticipation GuideProbability and Statistics

    12

    STEP 1 A, D, or NS Statement

    STEP 2 A or D

    1. A sample space is a partial list of possible outcomes of an experiment.

    2. Two events are called independent if choosing one does not affect choosing the other.

    3. Since order is not important in a combination, an outcome ab is the same as an outcome ba.

    4. The odds of an event occurring can be expressed as a ratio of the number of successes to the total number of outcomes.

    5. If two events are dependent, then the probability of both events occurring is the product of the probabilities of each event.

    6. If a set of data contains outliers, the median would be a good choice to represent the set.

    7. Measures of variation are the differences between consecutive values in the set.

    8. The curve representing a normal distribution is symmetric. 9. The Binomial Theorem can be used to find probabilities only

    when there are two possible outcomes.

    10. Asking people in a music store how many hours they spend listening to music to determine how many hours people in the city listen to music is an example of an unbiased survey.

    4. Las posibilidades de que ocurra un evento se pueden expresar como la razn del nmero de xitos al nmero total de resultados.

    5. Si dos eventos son dependientes, entonces la probabilidad de que ocurran ambos eventos es el producto de las probabili-dades de cada evento.

    6. Si un conjunto de datos contiene valores atpicos, la mediana sera una buena opcin para representar el conjunto.

    7. Las medidas de variacin son las diferencias entre valores consecutivos en el conjunto.

    Surveys, Studies, and ExperimentsTerm Definition Example

    Survey a means of obtaining information from a population or a sample of the population

    taking a poll to learn who people will vote for in an upcoming election

    Observational Study an examination in which individuals are observed and no attempt is made to influence the results

    observing a group of 100 people, 50 of whom have been taking a treatment; collecting, analyzing, and interpreting the data

    Experiment an operation in which something is intentionally done to people, animals, or objects, and then the response is observed

    studying the differences between two groups of people, one of which receives a treatment and the other a placebo

    State whether the following situation represents an experiment or an observational study. If it is an experiment, then identify the control group and treatment group. Then determine whether there is bias.

    Find twenty males and randomly separate them into two groups. One group will receive a new trial medication and the other receives a placebo.

    This is an experiment. The group receiving the medication is the treatment group, while the group receiving the placebo is the control group. This is unblased.

    Determine whether the following situation calls for a survey, an observational study, or an experiment. Explain the process.

    You want to know how students and parents feel about school uniforms.

    This calls for a survey. It is best to ask a random sample of students and a random sample of parents to give their opinions.

    ExercisesState whether each situation represents an experiment or an observational study. If it is an experiment, then identify the control group and treatment group. Then determine whether there is bias.

    1. Find 300 students and randomly split them into two groups. One group practices basketball three times per week and the other group does not practice basketball at all. After three months, you interview the students to find out how they feel about school.

    2. Find 100 students, half of whom participated on the school math team, and compare their grade point average.

    Distinguish Between Correlation and Causation

    Term Definition Example

    correlation When one event happens, the other is more likely.

    When the pond is frozen, it is more likely to snow.

    causation One event is the direct cause of another event.

    Turning on the light makes a room brighter.

    Determine whether the following statement shows correlation or causation. Explain your reasoning.

    Children who live in very large houses usually get larger allowances than children who live in small houses.

    Correlation; there is no reason to assume that the size of their house causes children to receive more allowance. Children living in both a large house and getting a large allowance could be the result of a third factorthe amount of money the parents have.

    Determine whether the following statements show correlation or causation. Explain.

    1. If I jog in the rain, I will get sick.

    3. If you lose a library book, you will have to pay a fine.

    5. If I miss a day of school, I will not earn the perfect attendance award.

    2. Studies have shown that eating more fish will improve your math grade.

    12-1 EnrichmentStratified Surveys

    In some situations, researchers use stratified surveys instead of random surveys. Stratified surveys can sample a very diverse population more accurately than random surveys.

    Before conducting a stratified survey, the researchers divide the population into distinct subpopulations called strata. For each stratum, researchers take a sample survey and use the sample to estimate the results for that stratums overall population.

    The 2294 eleventh and twelfth grade students at a high school can be classified into the following four subgroups:

    Eleventh-grade males = 576 Eleventh-grade females = 530

    Twelfth-grade males = 600 Twelfth-grade females = 588

    A sample of 500 students will be surveyed. Determine how many students in each subgroup should be surveyed.

    Step 1 Calculate the percentage in each group.Eleventh-grade males = 576 2294 = 25.11%Eleventh-grade females = 530 2294 = 23.10%Twelfth-grade males = 600 2294 = 26.16%Twelfth-grade females = 588 2294 = 25.63%

    Step 2 Multiply each percentage by the size of the sample.Eleventh-grade males = (25.11%)(500) = 125.55 = 126 studentsEleventh-grade females = (23.10%)(500) = 115.5 = 116 studentsTwelfth-grade males = (26.16%)(500) = 130.8 = 131 studentsTwelfth-grade females = (25.63%)(500) = 128.15 = 128 students

    Exercises

    For each of the following exercises, determine how many people in each subgroup should be surveyed.

    1. Population of students in the Drama Club:Females: 18, Males: 18Total number of the sample to be surveyed = 20

    2. Population of voters in the presidential election:Republican females = 100,000, Republican males = 195,000, Democratic females = 150,000, Democratic males = 125,000, Independent females = 52,000, Independent males = 31,000Total number of the sample to be surveyed = 100

    Which measure of central tendency best represents the data and why?

    {2.1, 21.5, 22.3, 22.8, 23.1, 159.4}

    There are outliers, but no large gaps in the middle, the median best represents this data.

    What is the margin of sampling error and the likely interval that contains the percentage of the population?

    Of 400 people surveyed in a national poll, 51% say they will vote for candidate Gonzlez.

    Since 400 people are surveyed, the margin of sampling error is 1 400

    or 5%. The

    percentage of people who are likely to vote for candidate Gonzlez is the percentage found in the survey plus or minus 5%, so the likely interval is from 46% to 56%.

    The Harmonic MeanThe harmonic mean, H, is a useful measure of central tendency in special cases of averaging rates.

    Recently, Kendra and Bill took a trip of 370 miles and shared the driving. Kendra drove two hours at a rate of 55 mph and then drove the next two hours at 65 mph. Then Bill drove the next 100 miles at 55 mph and he drove the last 100 miles at 65 mph. What was the average speed of each driver?

    Kendra drove the same length of time on both portions of her driving,

    so her average speed is the mean of the two rates. Her average speed

    was 55 + 65 2 or 60 mph.

    On the other hand, Bill drove the same distance on both portions of his driving,

    but the two length of time varied. Actually, the time he drove was 100 55

    + 100 65

    , or

    approximately 3.36 hours. His average speed was 200 3.36

    , or about 59.6 mph.

    Bills average speed may be found by using the formula for the harmonic mean as follows.

    Let n = number of rates xi where 1 i n. H = n

    i = 1

    n

    1 xi

    We apply the formula to Bills speeds. H = 2 1

    55 + 1

    65

    59.6 mph

    The mean, also called the arithmetic mean, is used when equal times are involved. When equal distances are involved, the harmonic mean is used.

    Find the harmonic mean of each set of data. Round each answer to the nearest hundredth.

    1. {3, 4, 5, 6} 2. {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}

    3. Ben, Emily, and Jayden competed in a 375-mile relay race. Ben drove 40 mph, Emily drove 50 mph, and Jayden drove 60 mph. If each drove 125 miles, find the average driving speed of the contestants.

    12-2 Graphing Calculator Activity

    Statistical AnalysisThe TI-84 graphing calculator can be used for statistical analysis.

    A police officer checks the speed of five cars on a particular highway. The speeds are listed in this table.

    52 57 54 58 79

    Perform a statistical analysis on the data. Round the numbers to the nearest hundredth.

    First, use the STAT key on the calculator and enter the data.

    Keystrokes: STAT 1 52 ENTER 57 ENTER 54 ENTER 58 ENTER 79 ENTER 2nd [QUIT]

    Next use the STAT key again to perform the analysis.

    Keystrokes: STAT 1 2nd 1 ENTER

    x = 60 indicates that the mean of the speeds was 60 miles per hour.

    x = 300 indicates that the sum of the speed is 300 miles per hour.

    Since the five speeds are a sample of speeds of all the cars on the highway, the standard deviation is shown by Sx = 10.885577053. Rounding the standard deviation to the nearest hundredth, the standard deviation is 10.89 miles per hour.

    ExercisesUse a graphing calculator to perform a statistical analysis on each set of data. Round the numbers to the nearest hundredth.

    Conditional Probability The probability of an event, given that another event has already occurred, is called conditional probability. The conditional probability that event B occurs, given that event A has already occurred, can be represented by P(B| A).

    SPINNER Naomi is playing a game with the spinner shown. What is the probability that the spinner lands on 7, given that Naomi has spun a number greater than 5?

    There are 8 possible results of spinning the spinner shown.Let event A be that she spun a number greater than 5.Let event B be that she spun a 7.

    P(A) = 3 8 Three of the eight outcomes are greater than 5.

    P(A and B) = 1 8 One out of eight outcomes is both greater than 5 and equal to 7.

    P(B| A) = P ( A and B ) P ( B)

    Conditional Probability Formula

    P(B| A) = 1 8 3

    8 Substitute values for P(A) and P(A and B)

    P(B| A) = 1 3

    The probability of spinning a 7, given that the spin is greater than 5, is 1 3 .

    ExercisesCards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find each probability.

    1. The card is a heart, given that an ace is drawn.

    2. The card is the six of clubs, given that a club is drawn.

    3. The card is a spade, given that a black card is drawn. (Hint: The black cards are the suits of clubs and spades.)

    A six-sided die is rolled. Find each probability.

    4. A 4 is rolled, given that the roll is even.

    5. A 2 is rolled, given that the roll is less than 6.

    Contingency Tables A contingency table is a table that records data in which different possible situations result in different possible outcomes. These tables can be used to determine conditional probabilities.

    LACROSSE Find the probability that a student plays lacrosse, given that the student is a junior.

    Class Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior

    Plays Lacrosse 17 20 34 17

    Does Not Play 586 540 510 459

    There are a total of 14 + 586 + 20 + 540 + 34 + 510 + 17 + 459 = 2180 students.

    P(L|J) = P( L and J ) P ( J )

    Conditional Probability Formula

    = 34 2180

    544 2180

    P (L and J) = 34 2180

    and P (J ) = 34 + 510 2180

    = 34 544

    or 1 6 Simplify.

    The probability that a student plays lacrosse, given that the student is a junior, is 1 16

    12-3 Enrichment

    The Monty Hall ProblemA famous probability problem is based on the game show Lets Make a Deal with Monty Hall. In the show, a contestant was allowed to choose one of three doors, knowing that a valuable prize was behind one, and worthless prizes were behind the other two.

    Once the contestant made his or her choice, Monty Hall often opened one of the other doors to reveal one of the worthless prizes. Then he would offer to allow the contestant to switch their door for the other unopened door. After the contestant chose, he would open the contestants chosen door to reveal his or her prize. It may seem that each of

    the two remaining doors has a probability of 1 2 of being the winner. But it has been

    mathematically proven that if the contestant switches doors, he or she has twice the probability of winning as when sticking with the original choice!

    How can this be? The best way to look at it is to imagine that when the contestant selects a door, the doors are separated into two setsthe chosen doors and the unchosen doors. At this point, each door has a probability

    of 1 3 of being the winning door, but the two

    sets have different probabilities. Set 1 has a

    probability of 1 3 of containing the valuable prize.

    Set 2 has twice as many doors, so it has a

    probability of 2 3 of containing the valuable prize.

    When Monty opens one of the doors in Set 2 to show it isnt the winner, Set 2 still

    has a probability of 2 3 of containing the valuable prize. Because there is only one

    door with unknown contents, the 2 3 probability is for the unopened door in Set 2,

    while Set 1 still has probability 1 3 .

    Exercises

    1. Work with a partner to simulate the situation 20 or more times. Do your results verify or contradict the theoretical probability? Explain.

    2. The Birthday Problem is another classic probability problem. How many people must be in a randomly chosen group for the probability that two of them share a birthday to be at least 50%? Research to answer the problem and explain its solution.

    Probability In probability, a desired outcome is called a success; any other outcome is called a failure.

    When 3 coins are tossed, what is the probability that at least 2 are heads?

    You can use a tree diagram to find the sample space.

    Of the 8 possible outcomes, 4 have at least 2 heads. So the

    probability of tossing at least 2 heads is 4 8 or 1

    2 .

    What is the probability of picking 4 fiction books and 2 biographies from a best-seller list that consists of 12 fiction books and 6 biographies?The number of successes is 12C4 6C2. The total number of selections, s + f, of 6 books is C(18, 6).

    P(4 fiction, 2 biography) = 12C4 6C2 18C6

    or about 0.40

    The probability of selecting 4 fiction books and 2 biographies is about 40%.

    Exercises

    1. PET SHOW A family has 3 dogs and 4 cats. Find the probability of each of the following if they select 2 pets at random to bring to a local pet show.

    a. picking a red candy b. not picking a yellow candy

    c. picking a green candy d. not picking a red candy

    Probability of Success and Failure

    If an event can succeed in s ways and fail in f ways, then the probabilities of success, P(S), and of failure, P(F), are as follows.

    P(S) = s s + f

    and P (F ) = f

    s + f

    Geometric ProbabilityIf a dart, thrown at random, hits the triangular board shown at the right, what is the chance that it will hit the shaded region? This chance, also called a probability, can be determined by comparing the area of the shaded region to the area of the board. This ratio indicates what fraction of the tosses should hit in the shaded region.

    area of shaded region

    area of triangular board

    = 1 2 (4)(6)

    1 2 (8)(6)

    = 12 24

    or 1 2

    In general, if S is a subregion of some region R, then the probability, P(S), that a point, chosen at random, belongs to subregion S is given by the following.

    P(S) = area of subregion S area of region R

    Find the probability that a point, chosen at random, belongs to the shaded subregions of the following regions.

    The dart board shown at the right has 5 concentric circles whose centers are also the center of the square board. Each side of the board is 38 cm, and the radii of the circles are 2 cm, 5 cm, 8 cm, 11 cm, and 14 cm. A dart hitting within one of the circular regions scores the number of points indicated on the board, while a hit anywhere else scores 0 points. If a dart, thrown at random, hits the board, find the probability of scoring the indicated number of points.

    The Empirical Rule

    Normal Distribution Normal distributions have these properties.The graph is maximized at the mean.The mean, median, and mode are about equal.About 68% of the values are within one standard deviation of the mean.About 95% of the values are within two standard deviations of the mean.About 99% of the values are within three standard deviations of the mean.

    The heights of players in a basketball league are normally distributed with a mean of 6 feet 1 inch and a standard deviation of 2 inches.

    a. What is the probability that a player selected at random will be shorter than 5 feet 9 inches?Draw a normal curve. Label the mean and the mean plus or minus multiples of the standard deviation.The value of 5 feet 9 inches is 2 standard deviations below the mean, so approximately 2.5% of the players will be shorter than 5 feet 9 inches.

    b. If there are 240 players in the league, about how many players are taller than 6 feet 3 inches?

    The value of 6 feet 3 inches is one standard deviation above the mean. Approximately 16% of the players will be taller than this height.240 0.16 38About 38 of the players are taller than 6 feet 3 inches.

    1. PARKING Over several years, Bertram conducted a study of how far into parking spaces people tend to park by measuring the distance from the end of a parking space to the front fender of a car parked in the space. He discovered that the distribution of the data closely approximated a normal distribution with mean 8.5 inches. He found that about 5% of cars parked more than 11.5 inches away from the end of the parking space. What percentage of cars would you expect parked less than 5.5 inches away from the end of the parking space?

    The normal distribution is the most important probability distribution. Many physical measurements have distributions approximately normal. Examples include height, weight, and measures of intelligence. More importantly, even if the individual variables are not normally distributed, sums and averages tend to still be normally distributed. Unfortunately, normal probability distribution functions are difficult to calculate. Fortunately, statisticians have compiled a table for a normal distribution with mean of zero and standard deviation of one. This is called the Standard Normal Distribution and is typically denoted by N(0, 1), where the N indicates a normal distribution which has mean, (mu) = 0, and standard deviation, (sigma) = 1.

    Suppose the variable x is normally distributed with mean and standard deviation . In order to calculate probabilities of this normal distribution, we must standardize the variable x by an appropriate transformation. The letter Z denotes the transformed variable and is called the Z-score, which is a measure of relative standing. The following steps are needed to complete the transformation.

    If the mean and standard deviation are not given, then calculate the mean and standard deviation of the given (population) data.

    Define Z = x -

    .

    Find the standard normal variable Z given and = 15 and = 3. Apply the transform to the variable X using the definition above, that is: Z = X - 15

    3 .

    1. Suppose that the time, X, to complete an exam is normally distributed. The time, in minutes, of a class of 12 to complete the exam is given in the table. Transform X to a Z-score.

    2. Suppose that a random variable X is normally distributed with = 20 and = 5. Convert the following probability statements to the equivalent statements by standardizing X.

    P(X < 25) = P ( X - 20

    5 < 25) = P(Z < 25)

    a. P(X > 18)

    b. P(17 < X < 23)

    Hypothesis TestingSteps in Testing a Null Hypothesis

    Step 1 State the null hypothesis H0 and alternative hypothesis H1.

    Step 2 Design the experiment.

    Step 3 Conduct the experiment and collect the data.

    Step 4 Find the confidence interval.

    Step 5 Make the correct statistical inference. Accept the null hypothesis if the population parameter falls within the confidence interval.

    A team of students claimed the average student at their school studied at least 27.5 hours per week. They designed an experiment using the 5 steps for testing a null hypothesis.

    Step 1 The null hypothesis H0: < 27.5 hours per week. The alternative hypothesis H1: 27.5 hours per week.

    Step 2 They decided to survey students and wrote a questionnaire.

    Step 3 They surveyed 10 students. They found x = 29.2 and s = 5.3.

    Step 4 They calculated the confidence interval. CI = x 2 s

    n Confidence Interval Formula

    = 29.2 2 5.3 10

    x = 25.3, s = 9.4, n = 100

    = 29.2 3.35 Use a calculator.

    Step 5 The null hypothesis H0 overlaps the confidence interval, so the students should accept the null hypothesis. They have not proven that the average student at their school studies at least 27.5 hours per week.

    Exercises

    Test each null hypothesis. Write accept or reject.

    1. H0 = 20, H1 < 20, n = 50,

    x = 12, and = 2

    2. H0 = 21, H1 < 21, n = 100,
