Get practice working with independent and dependent events. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

Seventh graders begin learning about compound events by considering independent events. They will consider everyday objects with known probabilities. Students will represent sample spaces using lists, tables, and tree diagrams in order...

The somewhat tricky differences between mutually exclusive, non-mutually exclusive, independent, and dependent events are defined here. Common items such as coins, colored cubes, and a deck of cards are all part of the easy-to-understand...

On school days, Janelle sometimes eats breakfast and sometimes does not. After studying probability for a few days, Janelle says, "The events 'I eat breakfast' and 'I am late for school' are independent." Explain what this means in terms...

This site gives a very brief definition of independent events. It provides a few example problems for further understanding.

A series of pages that help us understand testing one or more components of a trend using specific comparisons, a set of coefficients, error analysis of variance and the probability value.

Lesson plan to help learners understand independent and dependent variables through a fire probability simulation.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson attempts to explain the betting system at horse tracks by having students vie for parcels of land on their calculators. Because the land boundaries are unknown until the finale of...

Students will continue to apply their understanding of compound independent events. They will calculate probabilities and represent sample spaces with visual representations.

Definitions of the basic concepts in statistics. Great for review and discussion or for introduction into topics.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this activity introduces students to the concept of Markov Chains, and shows students how to find the probability of something (dependent) happening in the future, given certain conditions...

Introductory look at linear regression. Notes presented in outline form, with key concepts and formulas given. An example is presented at the end.

The simulation investigates the Markov process. To run the simulation, learners enter probabilities in the transition matrix.

A good scatter plot has the independent variable on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis. Also, the scale of both axes should be reasonable, making the data as easy to read as possible. In these practice problems, we...

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.
