Calamity Day #1
For this calamity day activity, you will be creating
flashcards (18) for the upcoming unit on probability and
statistics. These flashcards can be made from index cards
or cut out from pieces of notebook/printer paper.
On one side of the flashcard, you will write the term found
in the oval at the top of each page. On the reverse side of
that card, you will write the definition for that term found in
the rectangle.
Although there may be additional information on each
page (inside a circle or circles), that information should
not be included on your flashcard. It is only meant to
provide you with a little more information about the term.

The closer the probability
is to 0, the less likely the
event will occur.
The closer the probability
is to 1, the more likely the
event will occur.
