Practice calculating the probability of a given outcome in these exercises. Includes hints.

Cecil has two six-sided dice, a red one and a white one. Aligns with S-CP.A.3.

Determine the outcome of each probability examples presented. Read the interactive quiz rules and then click on the "Begin" ticket. If you answer incorrectly you get one more chance to try again then you are told the correct answer. See...

In this activity, students study some important concepts of probability. They use coin tossing experiments to determine the probability of a tossed coin coming up heads. They examine both short and long term experimental probabilities...

Practice problems with probability models.

This lesson demonstrates how to find the probability of two mutually exclusive events.

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

In this activity, students explore longest the streak for 7 tosses of a coin. They understand the relationship between relative frequency and Theoretical probability. They will be able to clear misconceptions about probabilities of streaks.

In this activity, students explore situations that involve compound events with and without replacement. They use different ways to conceptualize theoretical probability.

A certain test for mononucleosis has a 99% chance of correctly diagnosing a patient with mononucleosis and a 5% chance of misdiagnosing a patient who does not have the infection. Suppose the test is given to a group where 1% of the...

Seventh graders will be able to design and conduct their own simulation to determine the probability of an event.

Use this tool to create a spinner to examine experimental and theoretical outcomes.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson explores a little probability in the world of the card game Blackjack. While gambling is not mentioned or used in the lesson, students do find the probability of attaining a...

Practice predicting the number of times a certain event will happen. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this game, two players compete in a stock exchange, working with the concepts of theorertical and experimental probabilities and expected value. They must enter the probability and payoff of winning a single game, then observe the...

In this lesson learners will work collaboratively to research information in order to prove or disprove if a super continent ever existed. Students will create a model of Pangaea to show how their research findings 'connect' in a puzzle...

A fair six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the theoretical probability that the first number that comes up is greater than or equal to the second number? Aligns with 7.SP.C.8.

Angie, Bridget, Carlos, and Diego are seated at random around a square table, one person to a side. What is the theoretical probability that Angie and Carlos are seated opposite each other? Aligns with 7.SP.C.8.a.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Bianca goes on a quest to find out if a coin toss really is a 50-50 proposition.

This probability problem encourages the learner not only to arrive at a solution, but also to defend it.

In this activity, students can use the Probability Simulation application to roll a fair die and explore the Law of Large Numbers. They will conduct probability experiments that involve tossing a fair die, graph the results, compare the...

Students are able to to visualize the difference between theoretical and experimental probabilities with this computer based tool.

A cereal company is offering six different prizes in their boxes. How many boxes would you expect to have to purchase in order to collect all six prizes? Known as the Cereal Box Problem, this question is explored here. A solution is...
