The film’s ending is famously disturbing because it subverts the typical "justice" found in thrillers. There is no catharsis; instead, Nick and Amy reunite in a state of mutually assured destruction. They realize that they are the only two people who truly "know" each other—not because they love each other, but because they have seen the darkest versions of the characters they play. They stay together not out of affection, but because they have successfully trapped one another in a permanent, televised performance of a happy family. Conclusion
When the Great Recession hits and they move from New York to Missouri, both "characters" fail. The resentment that follows isn't just about a lost job or a move; it’s about the betrayal of the "roles" they promised to play for one another. Amy’s subsequent framing of Nick for her murder is the ultimate act of creative writing—a literal "story" she scripts to punish him for breaking character.

Probability calculations that can be used to inform decisions and manage risk can be very complicated. This unit is designed to help build your foundational understanding of probability and introduce you to some of the techniques that are used to calculate very difficult probabilities. You will continue to work with the Games Fair interactive tool and be exposed to real world situations to start to realize the impact of probability in your world.
The focus of this unit is on Probability Distributions. You will learn how to display all of the outcomes of a probability situation in a table and a bar graph. You will learn some formulas that will work with some situations. A large part of the unit will be calculating the expected value, or average, of a probability situation. The Games Fair Interactive tool will be used throughout the unit and will provide a focus for the summative and lead up to the Culminating Assignment, the Games Fair.

After much work to collect valid and reliable information in the form of statistics, you will learn to analyse the statistics to make conclusions that can help make decisions. You will explore one real and two variables statistics using the World Map Interactive tool. A data set used will include a perceived quality of Health Care across Canada. The unit summative will be require you to act as a consultant for a large Canadian franchise to help them make a decision.
In Unit 3 of this course, you demonstrated how to represent the distribution of a discrete random variable. This unit will look at the distribution of continuous random variables and how they are compared to discrete variables. In the third and fourth activity, you will be introduced to what may be the most important mathematical function: the normal distribution.
In this unit, you will consolidate the concepts and skills you have learned throughout this course. You will complete the course culminating activity, through which you will analyze the impacts of energy transformation technologies on society and the environment.
