Middle and high schoolers determine the probability of dependent events. Students compute both compound and simple probability. This four-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set...

The probability is high learning will occur! A well-designed unit introduces learners to the concepts of independent, dependent, and mutually exclusive events. Using Venn diagrams, the lessons ask learners to analyze many different...

Classes explore different scenarios using manipulatives to learn about the difference between independent and dependent probability. Learners experiment with colored chips to model the two types of probabilities. To test their...

In the first installment of a 21-part module, scholars build on previous understandings of probability to develop the multiplication rule for independent and dependent events. They use the rule to solve contextual problems.

How likely is it that the school cafeteria will serve chicken tomorrow? Discover the concept of probability with the roll of the dice. Pupils evaluate the liklihood of several statments about everyday life. Then, a mathematical...

Use simulations to determine the probabilities of events to make decisions. Class members are presented with several scenarios, some with known probabilities and others without. Groups run simulations to gather data that they then...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the concept of probability. In this probability instructional activity, pupils flip coins and draw chips out of a bag to determine the likelihood of a particular outcome. They perform the...

In this probability worksheet, students read story problems and draw tree diagrams to model the probability of compound events. After creating two tree diagrams, students compare them. They compute the probability of dependent events.

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

Bring the class into the probability by having everyone count buttons on their shirts. Organize the data into the chart provided and chose different possibilities such as "female with one button" or "all students with more than four...

Students collect data by conducting a survey of fellow classmates. They investigate the relationship between estimates obtained from samples and theoretical probabilities. Answer keys included.

For this probability worksheet, students find the probability of given problems. They compute both independent and dependent events. This two-page worksheet contains approximately 35 problems.

In this probability worksheet, students determine the probability of independent and dependent events. They complete simple and compound events. This four-page worksheet contains five problems. Answers are provided.

Statisticians analyze different samples to find independent and dependent events. In this probability instructional activity, pupils predict the outcome and then calculate the real outcome. They create a tree diagram to help predict the...

Understanding of probability will probably increase with the use of a refined resource. Pupils learn to distinguish between dependent and independent events as they calculate the probabilities of these types of events in various...

Learners investigate why theoretical probability doesn't always match reality. The activity involves using Python 2.7 (or Sage) to set up a Bernoulli Trial. It also involves setting up a spreadsheet to simulate the Birthday Paradox....

In this probability worksheet, students solve complex probability problems containing logarithms, radicals, and square roots. This three-page worksheet contains nine problems.

In this probability and statistics worksheet, high schoolers solve independent and dependent probability problems. They identify the mean, mode and range of a set of numbers. This two-page worksheet contains five probability problems.

In this probability and statistics worksheet, young scholars find compound dependent and independent probability of given situations. They identify the mean, mode, range and median of sets. This two-page worksheet contains...

Students problem solve to find the probability of each tree in a small forest to catch fire. In this probability lesson plan, students use the computer to complete this application.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts of probability while performing data analysis. They apply statistical methods in order to measure or predict some possible outcomes. The information is collected and graphed, 8th graders analyze...

Your soon-to-be statisticians play a game to understand the difference between independent and dependent experiments and probability. They draw colored cubes from a bag and then, by either replacing the cube in the bag, or not, for each...

Students investigate the concept of probability. They use example problems in order to measure the likelihood of various outcomes. The lesson includes dialogue to be used by the teacher during direct instruction. They also use class...
