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...

Control the spread of a contagious disease. An applet allows pupils to run a simulation on the spread of a disease. Rules govern how the disease is spread and the length of time it takes to recover. Learners view the spread visually and...

A change in a parameter can end in overpopulation. The resources gives pupils the opportunity to control the parameters of rabbits and wolves in a natural setting. Using the set parameters, the simulation runs and displays the population...

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...

Wanna take a chance on which game is best? The resource provides three games of chance using multiple types of games. Games range from coin toss to cards. Choosing a type of game, pupils determine what wins and enter the theoretical...

Pupils roll a die to figure out which car advances on a race track. They determine the rules for each car moving forward and, given the statistics of the winner, compare if it matches their predictions.

Spin into a dicey experiment. Pupils use a spinner or a pair of dice to determine the experimental probabilities of each outcome. The interactive allows for either, one, five, or ten consecutive experiments. Using the applet, learners...

What happens when your teachers get tired of grading tests and want to use games of chance to determine your grade? How would you decide which game they should play? Learn how to use expected value and standard notation to compare two...

Video presentation on the probability of independent events, covering related topics: multiplication rule, random variable, and mean and standard deviation. [28:41]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Learn about the spread of a normal distribution.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This Concept expands upon the previous by discussing further the normal distribution and the probabilities associated with it by looking at the normal density curve.

This lesson focuses on probability theory for predicting the outcome of flipping a coin, and then flipping it multiple times.

A series of step-by-step worked problems demonstrating how to take a set of data and produce the variance and standard. Hints are provided along the way and the final measures are shown for the user to check.

Explore what the standard deviation is as it relates to the graph of a normal distribution curve.

This section explores normal distribution curves that have a unique, bell-like shape and represent data that is "normally" distributed. It also addresses how many real-life situations can be modeled by normal distribution curves.

The learning tool calculates the probability of a binomial distribution.

The learning tool calculates the probability of a normal distribution.

The resource consists of a normal distribution table.

A demonstration of how to find the standard deviation of a set of data. Several examples and a practice test are offered.
