Classwork today is a short notebook and to fill in the questions we discussed in class.  


You can do this in the README file of your repository after you check it out here (the notebook is also there):

1) answer the questions in the README file.  Now, you may discuss this with the other students at your table.  Do you understand why one probability distribution is chosen over another in each case?   Get the TAs and Prof. Group involved in the discussion if anything is unclear.


Some helpful questions to ask:

  →  What is "n"?

  → What is "μ"?

  →  What is "p"? 


Is the full binomial distribution required, or is it better to use a Poisson or Gaussian approximation? 


2) Learn about plotting the Gaussian probability distribution - this is required for a remaining HW!

Work through the Class15.ipynb  Jupyter Notebook. 



Done?  Make sure your plot and work are cleaned up and push files to GitHub: class15.ipynb and README
