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...

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.

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...

Pupils determine the theoretical probability of winning a game of marbles. Individuals compare the theoretical probability to experimental probability for the same game. They continue on to compare two different probability games.

Did the rescue procedures on the Titanic favor the first-class passengers?  Use actual historical data to explore independent and dependent events with your class. Part of a series of worksheets, but can be used separately.

Don't cross the line; just walk along it. Scholars investigate a scenario in which a person starts at zero on a number line, then moves left or right depending on a flip of a coin. They determine the number of outcomes for six flips,...

What are the chances that there will be rain and lighting today? Use this activity to study independent and dependent probabilities with your class.  Learners explore the differences between P(A and B) and P(A or B) using mock...

It is positive that how one performs on the first test relates to their performance on the second test. The three-question assessment has class members read and analyze a scatter plot of test scores. They must determine whether...

Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of independent and dependent events. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page...
