To foul or not to foul, that is the basketball question. High schoolers look at the probability that fouling out a player and allowing free throws yields a better outcome than allowing the original shot. The resource provides a teacher's...

Statistically, practicing this packet completely helps young mathematicians do well on the test. The packet is adaptable to many grade levels as it includes basic probability and goes up to data analysis with mean, median, and mode. 

It's time to assess probability knowledge. Individuals complete a set of problems to review concepts from the unit. They identify outcomes and sample spaces, determine compound and conditional probabilities, and investigate situations...

Chances are good that one will learn a lot about probability. Scholars view an instructional video that covers the basics of probability. They review sample spaces, outcomes, and events, then look at the complement, union, and...

Develop a deeper understanding of statistics. The six released free-response items from the 2002 AP® Statistics Form B involve several concepts that are currently in the regular statistics standards. Teachers see how AP® assessed the...

Form a good familiarity with the AP® test using Form B of the 2010 AP® Statistics free-response questions. Pupils use a test from a previous administration to prepare for their exams. A set of six questions assesses box plots,...

Familiarize yourself with the AP® exam by looking at past tests. A PDF file provides the 2011 AP® Statistics free-response questions. The questions include topics such as mean, standard deviation, conditional probability, sampling...

It's probably a good idea to use the unit. Young mathematicians learn about conditional probability using Venn diagrams, tree diagrams, and two-way tables. They also take into consideration independence and the addition rules.

Hard boiled or raw? Which egg will you get? A hands-on activity has scholars explore the impact of conditional probability. Based on a skit from the Tonight Show, pupils model the selection of the two types of eggs using beads. They...

Knowing math helps you win games. Learners apply conditional probability concepts in an engaging performance task. After playing a game in which players roll a 10-sided polyhedron and then try to place the digits to get the highest...

Be brave, learn about Bayes. An informative video describes Bayes theorem and Bayesian hypothesis testing. It explains how this type of testing incorporates both statistics and beliefs about the hypothesis to wrap up the 24th installment...

There are days when you just want to learn about Bayes' theorem. Viewers watch an engaging YouTube video to see how Bayes' theorem connects to conditional probability. They explore how Bayesian statistics differ from frequentist...

Probability is all about patterns and rules. An instructive video explores the tenets of probability. It starts with basic probability, moves on to compound probability, and explores the addition and multiplication rules for probability. 

Find the box with two green balls. The applet uses six balls, three green and three red, and hides them in three boxes. Pupils choose a box and click on it to reveal the color of balls inside. Using the chosen box, the simulation keeps...

Grab some marbles from a bag. The applet simulates drawing marbles from a bag. Pupils determine the number of four colors of marbles in a bag and how many marbles to draw. Using information on whether order matters in the draw and if...

What's behind door number one? A fun resource lets learners simulate the classic Monty Hall probability problem. Pupils choose a door, and after they select a losing door, they decide whether to switch or stay. Using their decisions, the...

Sorting your t-shirts is easy with Venn diagrams. Individuals use a drag and drop interactive to classify shapes on t-shirts into Venn diagrams. A set of challenge questions tests whether the classification is correct.
