Description |
| Rain and Lightning: | This problem solving task challenges students to determine if two weather events are independent, and use that conclusion to find the probability of having similar weather events under certain conditions. |
| Return to Fred's Fun Factory (with 50 cents): | The task is intended to address sample space, independence, probability distributions and permutations/combinations. |
| Alex, Mel, and Chelsea Play a Game: | This task combines the concept of independent events with computational tools for counting combinations, requiring fluent understanding of probability in a series of independent events. |
| Coffee at Mom's Diner: | This task assesses a student's ability to use the addition rule to compute a probability and to interpret a probability in context. |
| How Do You Get to School?: | This task requires students to use information in a two-way table to calculate a probability and a conditional probability. |
| The Titanic 2: | This task lets students explore the concepts of probability as a fraction of outcomes using two-way tables. |
| The Titanic 1: | This task asks students to calculate probabilities using information presented in a two-way frequency table. |
| Random Walk III: | The task provides a context to calculate discrete probabilities and represent them on a bar graph. |
| Random Walk IV: | This problem solving task on probability combinations gives a situation where the numbers are too large to calculate, so abstract reasoning is required in order to compare the different probabilities. |
| The Titanic 3: | This problem solving task asks students to determine probabilities and draw conclusions about the survival rates on the Titanic using a table of data. |
| Unexpected Answers: | This lesson is designed to introduce students to statistical situations where the probabilities or outcomes might not be what is first expected. The lesson provides links to discussions and activities motivated by the idea of unexpected answers. Finally, the lesson provides links to follow-up lessons designed for use in succession with an introduction to probability and unexpected answers in probability. |
