This Conditional Probability: Colorful Cubes interactive also includes:
  • Conditional Probability
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

An interactive provides a model to visually represent the formula for the probability of an outcome. Given 10 numbered color cubes, pupils arrange them on the top and bottom shelf to represent the probability fraction. The learners use their representations to calculate the probability of the given conditional event.
