How Random!	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	TI-Nspire	Activity	[0]
In this activity, students use simulations and graphs to explore the common-sense notion that repeatedly ﬂipping a coin results in �heads up� about half of the time. First, students simulate an... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
What's Normal, Anyway?	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	TI-Nspire	Activity	[0]
In this activity, students explore the normal distribution and several of its most interesting properties. First, they use a histogram of data from a binomial experiment to examine the general shape o... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
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,...
Rolling a Pair of Dice	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Computer	Lesson Plan	[0]
In this lesson, students use Logo for a computer simulation for rolling dice to speed up the work such that they can "roll dice" more times, keeping track of the outcomes. It is not intended to be an ... 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,...
Conditional Probability and Pr...	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Lesson Plan	[0]
Introduces conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous events. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Replacement and Probability	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Lesson Plan	[1]
Extends the notion of conditional probability by discussing the effects of replacement on drawing multiple objects. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Equally Likely (Fair) Choice D...	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Calculator	Support Material	[0]
The proper meaning of the term "fair." More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Galton's Quincunx	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Flash	Tool	[0]
Francis Galton was a pioneer in the study of heredity and statistics. His quincunx (a pattern of five dots, as on dice) is modeled in this Flash activity. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Plinko Probability	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Flash	Tool	[1]
Play Plinko and develop your knowledge of statistics. As the Plinko ball falls, it ricochets down a triangular grid of pegs. See the balls random walk through the lattice. Watch the histogram of final... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Spinning Spinners	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Flash	Tool	[0]
Select from seven different sets of spinners and set the desired number of spins. The two spinners selected can be spun up to 1 million times. The scores are counted and a bar graph displays the data. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
A Better Fire!	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[3]
See the chaos theory played out in forest fire simulations. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Ball and Urn Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
Simulates drawing balls from an urn, with or without replacement. Specify number of balls, number of red balls, and number drawn. Requires a MathPlayer plugin (free). More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Ball-Mixing Activity: 4 Balls ...	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
We have 4 balls--2 reds and 2 greens. We drop them randomly into 2 boxes. Are the colors mixed or separate? Use this applet to experiment. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Banach Match Box Problem	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Two boxes have the same number of matches. A coin is tossed to determine which box a match is taken from. Coin toss repeats until the chosen box is empty; the number of matches remaining in the othe... 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,...
