Basketball Probability	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Computer	Lesson Plan	[0]
This is an extended Logo investigation of probabilities and of modeling real-life situations: that of a 1 and 1 shooter in basketball, and the expected probabilities arising from past performance. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Beer Consumption Demographics	Samples and Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Fathom	Activity	[0]
This activity on beer consumption explores the idea that 20-to-24-year-olds account for variations over time in amount of beer consumed. The data for this activity is included with Fathom... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Beer Consumption Demographics ...	Samples and Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Fathom	Activity	[0]
This activity (in French) on beer consumption explores the idea that 20-to-24-year-olds account for variations over time in amount of beer consumed. The data for this activity is included... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Bertrand's Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Demonstration of the probability that a chord of a circle falls within an inscribed equilateral triangle. Three ways of "randomizing" the chord result in different probability distributions. Require... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Biased Rectangles?	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Fathom	Lesson Plan	[1]
Students explore one example of how bias affects the mean. This simulation increases students' understanding of the significance of sample size on the calculation of the mean. Exploring t... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Binomial Coin Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Simulates tosses of from 1 to 60 coins with user-chosen probability of heads; compiles both number and proportion of heads, with theoretical and empirical distributions. Requires a MathPlayer plugin ... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Birthday Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
This simulator extends the classic birthday problem: user sets the number of days in a year and the number of people in a room. Birthdays are assigned at random, and the user may examine either disti... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Blaze	Samples and Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Students do a simulation of a forest burning down where they are able to control the density of the forest while learning about probability and chaos. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Box Model	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
Using this virtual manipulative you may: add data points to the draw box; simulate random draws from a box; compare actual draws with probability More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
