Probability (revised)
I like to think of statistics as a study of the past while probability is a study of the future. For many students, probability is the most difficult section of the course. The Advanced Placement curriculum is careful not to over-emphasize probability. It is merely a way-station for conditional probability, the backbone of inference. I have always enjoyed teaching probability although there is no mathematical topic I respect more. I always get bogged down in these chapters because of my like for the material and I probably have way too much material here. It is important not to focus on strict probability questions and focus on random variables and binomial distributions. Since the halfway point of this course usually occurs while teaching probability, I have included a midterm in this unit.

Contents of the Probability Material
Cover page: For each of the sections, I have a cover page that describes the material and what it includes. I suggest that you read it for each section. Material that is new or revised I indicated in red.
Teaching. These are documents that the teacher uses for face-to-face teaching. It walks students through a process like doing regression or a hypothesis test. There are several problems that teachers will do with the students in class and homework problem, found in the exercises mimic them. The contents of the teaching packet are described in the cover pages.
Exercises. This is the bulk of the material. It contains homework problems, quizzes, and exams, and simulations to try. In the Inference section, there are two exercise files because of the great number of concepts taught. The contents of the exercise packet are described in the cover pages.
YouTube Video and Powerpoint. Several concepts are further explained with an examples using a YouTube video. This are narrated. An unnarrated version and a script that go with them might be used by teachers who want more control of the video. These are in Powerpoint format. Powerpoints are compatible with the Windows version of Microsoft Office 2010 and later and the Mac version of Microsoft Office 2011 and later.
