Go round and round to compare theoretical and experimental probabilities. Learners set the number of sectors and the number of spins for a spinner. Then, a table displays the experimental and theoretical probabilities of the spinner for...

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...

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...

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...

Introductory permutation problems. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

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

This lesson focuses on the probability and casino games such as Roulette which consists of a wheel with the numbers from 1 to 36 colored in red and black, as well as a green 0. A ball rolls around the outside and randomly lands on one of...

Choose one of N doors to experimentally determine the odds of winning the grand prize behind one of the doors, as in the TV program "Let's Make a Deal."

Compare theoretical and experimental probabilities, using dice, cards, spinners, or coin tosses. Three different probabilities can be compared at once.

Learn about sampling with and without replacement by randomly drawing marbles from a bag.

In this section, students will explore different methods for determining the probability of complex events and conditional probabilities (such as unions, intersections, and complements).

The learning tool calculates the probability of a binomial distribution.

Find a quick, concise explanation of odds as a specific way to express probabilities. An example is given and clearly explained.
