              Probability Experiment

              Students carry out a probability experiment to explore the relationship between theoretical and experimental probability.   Throughout the course of the lesson students are challenged to assign a set of events given fixed probabilities, design an experiment to test their accuracy and discuss their findings using bias.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to determine a set of overlapping events given probabilities.
              • Most students should be able to design an experiment to compare theoretical and experimental probabilities.
              • Some students should be able to compare theoretical and experimental probabilities and understand the concept of relative frequency.

              How to Draw a Venn Diagram to Calculate Probabilities

              March 16, 2020

              There are three common ways to organise data that fall into multiple sets: two-way tables, frequency diagrams and Venn diagrams.  Having blogged about frequency diagrams before I thought I would write about how to draw a Venn Diagram to calculate probabilities. Recapping Two-Way Tables This activity works well to review two-way tables from the previous […]
