- Today:
- Return problems I.1,8,9,15,16 from section 6.3 (graded #8).

- May include the rest in appendices (graphs, charts,
images, additional material, including edited earlier
work submitted to me).

- Law of Large Numbers: Relative Frequency tends to probability
- Probability that it won't happen is 1- Probability that it will.
