In this Binomial Probability Distribution, students use the binomial probability formula to determine the success of a given probability. Using the given parameters, students write a probability equation and solve the problem. They...

Although this binomial probabilities worksheet is based on a computer math program (Neufeld Learning Systems: Understanding Math), it can easily be used without the program. If you don't have the program, skip the first question....

Conditional probability can be a confusing concept. A straightforward lesson provides reasonable examples of conditional probability, and models the most effective ways to reinforce the more complex parts of the lesson.

Students explore the concept of binomial distribution. In this binomial distribution instructional activity, students perform binomial distributions on a number of problems in this lecture instructional activity. Students find the mean...

Students review previous lessons on mean, variance, standard deviation, and expected value. They utlize formulas for these characteristics that are specifically designed for the binomial distribution. Students discuss the similarities...

Twelfth graders examine multiple aspects of statistics. In this mathematical reasoning lesson, 12th graders solve problems on probability, logarithms, exponential relationships and transforming rectilinear shapes. This resource contains...

Explore word relationships and the relationships between people with an interesting lesson. Learners practice pairing words that typically go together and write brief narratives using these words. They then go through a similar process,...

Young scholars examine the patterns in Pascal's Triangle. In this recognizing lesson, students view a model of Pascal's Triangle and describe the patterns of the multiples. Young scholars identify the shapes that are made within Pascal's...

Pupils review and better examine hypothesis testing and evaluation of probability distributions. the use of the discovery method is vital to the studying because it is about student interests which helps for motivation.

Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.

Find similarities in seemingly unlike organisms. The second instructional activity in a series of 12 builds the concept of a taxonomy and explores the use of a dichotomous key. Learners begin in part one by attempting to group a set of...

Students factor polynomial functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve problems through factoring and distribution of the negative sign correctly.

Students design models to simulate actual events using a random number generator on a calculator. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulations. Answer Key included.

Fourth graders solve a dominoes word problem, calculating all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events. They discuss the problem, apply counting strategies, create a tree diagram, and write an explanation of how they solved the...

Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of...

Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

This hands-on activity is appropriate for a lab or discussion section for an introductory statistics class, with 8 to 40 students. Each student performs a binomial experiment and computes a confidence interval for the true binomial...

Mini lessons are provided for learning concepts in the world of probability and statistics. Topics include counting and probability, permutations, combinations, independent and dependent events, and distributions. Links to online...

The purpose of this task is to assess a student's ability to compute and interpret an expected value. Notice that interpreting expected value requires thinking in terms of a long-run average. Students will help Bob the bagel man find the...

Alex, Mel, and Chelsea play a game that has 6 rounds. In each round there is a single winner, and the outcomes of the rounds are independent. For each round the probability that Alex wins is $\frac{1}{2}$, and Mel is twice as likely to...
