Calculating Theoretical & Experimental Probability

Increase your sample and increase your accuracy! Scholars complete an activity that compares sample size to variability in results. Learners realize that the greater the sample size, the smaller the range in the distribution of sample...

Learn how to determine a probability distribution. In the ninth installment of a 21-part module, future mathematicians use theoretical probabilities to develop probability distributions for a random variable. They then use these...

Odd or even—fifty-fifty chance? Pupils first conduct an experiment rolling a pair of dice to generate data in a probability lesson. It goes on to introduce mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events, and how to use the...

Take a chance with an activity sure to improve your class's skills. An introductory lesson focuses on probability and chance. It shows how probability is always a value between zero and one, i.e., the probability of an event is always...

How likely is it to draw a blue marble? Pupils find the likelihood of events and connect that to the probability of the event. They find the probabilities of simple events and show their probabilities on a scale.

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...

Your learners will be surprised by the thought-provoking, counterintuitive puzzle presented in this short video that models a fun, fictional situation in which a game is played with two number cubes to decide which of two people wins a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Here you'll learn about theoretical and experimental probability, including how to describe sample spaces and how to conduct probability simulations. Includes...

Middle and high schoolers have a clarified definition of probability, they explore about outcomes in probability and how to calculate experimental probability. They use computers to learn about probability.

How likely is it that the videos will teach viewers about probability? Demonstrate probability as a ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes with an instructive video. Six problem videos cover examples in basic...
