The document provides the schedule for May 18th through Thursday including watching a video on the game show "Deal or No Deal" and answering probability questions about it. Students are asked if the cash values in the game are a uniform distribution, to make a probability table, and calculate the expected value to determine if the player should take the banker's deal or not according to probability.
