The student demonstrates a conceptual understanding of probability and counting techniques.

allow students to experiment with probability and the notion of a fair game.

This activity would work well in mixed ability groups of two or three for aboutĮxploration questions and ten to fifteen minutes otherwise. The Racing Game with One Die except that the movement is determined by throwing two dice, making the expected outcome moreĬomplicated. This activity allows the user to simulate a race game similar to Probability has found its way into the fields of science, medicine, and statistics. Is a city that is dominated by people that have invested in this field of mathematics. The game involved chance just as most games do now, such as Monopoly and card games. Rolls to roll a six and I fail the first three times, how much of my bet should I get back?' His question was 'If I play a game that I have eight Probability began in the middle of the seventeenth century by a man named Pascal. Roll of the dice gives you a one in thirty-six chance (one-sixth times one sixth) that any Toįigure the expected probability you must multiply the probability of the events together. Probability where the event happens more than once. In this applet we are using multiple event Not always exactly what you would expect. See that the probability you came up with (known as the experimental value) will be close but If you run the applet a hundred times you will

Probability is theĮxpected value of what the outcome should be. The rolling of dice is one example of probability. The user can determine which player moves forward for a given roll, and can thenĮxperiment with the race by determining which player will win more often based on the rules This applet allows the user to simulate a race where the results are based on the roll ofĭice.
