If this pattern continues, what is the expected value for the number of sales per day? # of sales, x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Frequency, f (in days) 25 48 60 45 20 10 8 5 3 1 PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS • Identify the possible outcomes and find the probability of each. • Find the product of each outcome and its corresponding probability. • Find the sum of the products. • Interpret the results.

Students may be required to take more developmental math courses. This could have an effect on our students seeking certification in such fields as nursing.. • NMP offers these students another way to meet the TSI requirements and allows them to earn more college credit , helping the college with momentum points. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SUPPORT NMP? • The New Mathways Project is one of our QEP strategies! • Get the word out to students about NMP. • Tell students to speak to an advisor or contact either mathematics department. • Only 9 Texas schools are currently participating in the project, but ALL of Texas, and MANY other states are watching us closely! • Each of us plays a role in the success of our students and this program that could be so valuable to them.
