Freshmen
Counting Basics and Simple Probability
Includes tree type problems,
combinations, and permutations, with the emphasis on organized thinking, not
using formulas.
Question writers are aware that this is a new topic for freshmen.
Sophomores
Geometric Probability
Emphasis on the concept of
geometric probability rather than on difficult geometry problems. Students are not required to have
a comprehensive knowledge of geometry. UMAP module 660 is a good source, as is
HIMAP module 11. These can be downloaded for around $15.00 each.
Juniors
Probability
The standard
treatment of probability. It may include combinations,
permutations, mutually exclusive events, dependent and independent events, and conditional probability. It should not include binomial distribution and
expected value.
Seniors
Probability
May include
