Mr. Lostal: Probability is like a human flashlight in a juniverse of darkness (turns off lights). Now, let me demonstrate...ehhh, does anyone have a flashlight?
Student #1: I have my phone
Mr. Lostal: ok, that will have to do (takes phone). Now observe class, I will teach ju probability in a way ju will neverrrr foget (flails hands around with phone). Ju see, in probability, we study outcomes of events...I will chow ju example of this (takes a chair). This chair is a cow. Let us get some activity going with the cow. Watch wa happens when I kick the cow (kicks the chair). Ju see, there are several possible outcomes of wa can happen with the cow. It can fall over, it can moo, it can move across the room. Can you think of any other possible outcomes when we get activity going with the cow?
Student #2: satisfaction
