EXTRA CREDIT ALERT
Over vacation (April 9th - April 18th) There is an extra credit opportunity.
The activity is this: Using the tiles in a Scrabble game, find out the
probability of pulling all the letters of your name in order out off the bag of
Scrabble tiles.
* You can find out the number of letters and total tiles in the Scrabble game.
* Be sure to show your work, so I can see how you got the answer.
* Use both your First and Last name only.
* (You can do a separate probability using other names or including your middle
name.)
Below is a list of the Scrabble tiles.
