PS.4

PS.4.MAA.1 Analyze and interpret graphs, charts, and tables in the design and implementation of a computer program
PS.4.MAA.2 Write an algorithm to solve mathematical problems using formulas, equations, and functions
PS.4.MAA.3 Analyze and interpret truth tables from basic statements using Boolean operators (AND, OR, XOR, and NOT)
PS.4.MAA.4 Write an algorithm from a mathematical model

PS.5

PS.5.ATMM.1 Define a random variable for a quantity of interest by assigning a numerical value to each event in a sample space; graph the corresponding probability distribution using the same graphical displays as for data distributions
PS.5.ATMM.2 Calculate the expected value of a random variable; interpret it as the mean of the probability distribution
PS.5.ATMM.3 Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which theoretical probabilities can be calculated; find the expected value (e.g., find the theoretical probability distribution for the number of correct answers obtained by guessing on all five questions of a multiple-choice test where each question has four choices; find the expected grade under various grading schemes)
PS.5.ATMM.4 Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which probabilities are assigned empirically; find the expected value (e.g., find a current data distribution on the number of TV sets per household in the United States and calculate the expected number of sets per household; how many TV sets would you expect to find in 100 randomly selected households?)
PS.5.ATMM.5 Find the expected payoff for a game of chance (e.g., find the expected winnings from a state lottery or a game at a fast-food restaurant)
PS.5.ATMM.6 Evaluate and compare strategies on the basis of expected values (e.g., compare a high-deductible versus a low-deductible automobile insurance policy using various but reasonable chances of having a minor or major accident)
