You don't need to be discreet about using the resource on discrete variables. In the fifth installment of a 21-part module, scholars explore random variables and learn to distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables. They...

Learn how to analyze probability distributions. The sixth installment of a 21-part module teaches pupils to use probability distributions to determine the long-run behavior of a discrete random variable. They create graphs of probability...

Discover how to calculate the expected value of a random variable. In the seventh installment of a 21-part module, young mathematicians develop the formula for expected value. They connect this concept the dot product of vectors.

And the winner is ... not always who it appears to be. An interactive gives the directions for a dice game that on the surface gives one player an advantage over the other. Pupils look closer at the possible outcomes and find the...

Learn how to determine a probability distribution. In the ninth installment of a 21-part module, future mathematicians use theoretical probabilities to develop probability distributions for a random variable. They then use these...

Determine if any reteaching with a mid-module assessment task. The assessment covers the general multiplication rule, permutations and combinations, and probability distributions for discrete random variables.

Investigate expected value as a long-run average. The eighth installment of a 21-part module has scholars rolling pairs of dice to determine the average sum. They find aggregate data by working in groups and interpret expected value as...

Investigate how long-run outcomes approach the calculated probability distribution. The 10th installment of a 21-part module continues work on probability distributions from the previous lesson. They pool class data to see how conducting...

In this continuous probability distribution worksheet, students identify discrete and continuous distributions. They calculate the linear combination of the independent normal random variable and determine probabilities using exponential...

Learners read and complete problems on how to solve discrete probability distributions. In this probability distributions lesson plan, students read math problem examples and solve them.

Students investigate qualitative and quantitative data. In this statistics lesson, students gather data on heights and weights of people and graph the distribution. Students discuss the differences between qualitative and quantitative data.

What if you don't have theoretical probabilities with which to create probability distributions? The 11th installment of a 21-part module has scholars collecting data through a survey. The results of the survey provide empirical data to...

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

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

A PowerPoint explaining and showing examples of how to measure the mean of the values of a random variable.

Students learn about random variables and histograms. Topics explored are continuous random variables, discrete random variables, probability, and frequency distributions. The tutorial investigtes the statistics concepts through class...

An overview of the term "discrete random variable." The site continues with the definition "continuous random variable" so that the user may compare the two.

A practice word problem asking students to calculate the mean of B in a probability chart.

Students examine random variables and distributions. Topics explored are probability distributions, and discrete and continuous random variables. The tutorial investigates the statistics concepts through class notes and examples. Review...

Compute the expected value given a set of outcomes, probabilities, and payoffs. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly or receive hints.

An overview of the term "continuous random variable." The definition follows immediately after "discrete random variable" so that the user may compare the two.
