Build on probability and incorporate a random number generator to select outcomes for a school election. Your learners will record their results on a dot plot and answer questions regarding whether their candidate has a chance at the election. This task is part of a series with two other lessons that build off the same problem. The second variation uses physical simulation with marbles that can be compared to this lesson using online simulations. The answer key is not provided but the solutions from the first task can be adapted as answers for this lesson.
