A collection of step-by-step worked problems demonstrating how to take a normal curve and determine the probability (area) under it. Hints are provided along the way and the final measures are shown for the user to check.

Overview of normal distribution, including the normal distribution model, the probability density function, and standard normal distribution. The parameters for "normal" distribution are provided.

Several paragraphs of explanation and graphs are found here to get across the concept of normal scores, z-scores, and the related probability in a simple fashion. This page is part of a collection from the university on basic statistical...

Students examine predictable outcomes of events such as flipping a coin or rolling a dice. They see that these events repeated many times form a pattern of distribution. They explore the probability concepts of most likely and least likely.

As a larger Insights into Algebra workshop for teachers from Annenberg Learning, this lesson plan teaches about recursion by interpreting experiments in probability. Find procedures, assessment questions, teaching strategies, examples of...

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.

This site defines, explains, and gives examples of a binomial experiment. Also included other pages are sample tests of this and other topics.

This site from Cornell University contains great information on random or probability sampling. Definitely a site worth checking out on the subject.

Interactive review problems are offered to practice the concepts of random variables and statistics. Topics covered include, Bernoulli trials, normal and binomial distributions, Chebyshev's rule, and the like.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to the Poisson Distribution to determine the probability of events happening a certain number of times in a given time period. The lesson is framed in the...

This lesson will introduce students to the binomial theorem through a variety of activities. Pascal's triangle and probabilities will be explored through problem solving. The binomial theorem, combinations formula, and the binomial...

This is a five-problem quiz/exercise, students will learn how the Poisson disc process works and why it's used. They will match the method of distributing sites with the resulting distribution of distances by dragging the distribution in...

A friend of yours, Phil, writes to you asking about a new scratch-off lottery game. It costs $10 to play this game. There are two outcomes for the game (win, lose) and the probability that a player wins a game is 60%. A win results in...

The task is intended to address standards regarding sample space, independence, probability distributions and permutations/combinations. Aligns with S-CP.A.1.

Three activities asking students to calculate the expected value of a random variable and interpret it as the mean of the probability distribution. Tasks include Bob's Bagel Shop, Fred's Fun Factory, and Sounds Really Good! (sort of).

This Applet allows the user to grab and drag the ends of the included region below the standard normal curve to the appropriate places needed. The user directly experiences the connection between the shaded area under the curve and the...

This Applet will assist the user in questions which specify a range of raw scores or z-scores and ask for a probability associated with them.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students find the probability of chips falling into each bin of a Galton Board (also known as a quincunx or Plinko board), and then graphing these data to form a normal curve....

An online course on the fundamentals of statistics including video lessons in Mean, Median, and Mode; Weighted Averages; Quartiles and Boxplots; Range and Standard Deviation; Normal Distribution; Z-scores; Intro to Inferential...

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...

The Quincunx is a fascinating probability machine that demonstrates how distribution works. This page has an interactive Quincunx where you can adjust how many rows there are for the balls to bounce down when dropped. A link takes you to...

Learn about normal distribution, calculate odds on normal distributions and fit a set of data to a normal distribution.

A very in-depth biography of this wonderful individual who had numerous successes, Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution Curves included.

The learning tool calculates the probability of a normal distribution.
