Binomial Probabilities
Find the probability of a number of successes or failures in a binomial experiment using a tree diagram, a bar graph, and direct calculation.
-
Compound Independent and Dependent Events
Compare the theoretical and experimental probabilities of drawing colored marbles from a bag. Record results of successive draws to find … the experimental probability. Perform the drawings with replacement of the marbles to study independent events, or without replacement to explore dependent events.
-
Compound Independent Events
Compare the theoretical and experimental probabilities of compound independent events by drawing colored marbles from a bag. Record … the results of successive draws with replacement of marbles to calculate the experimental probability.

Geometric Probability - Activity A
Randomly throw darts at a target and see what percent are "hits." Vary the size of the target and repeat the experiment. Study … the relationship between the area of the target and the percent of darts that strike it
-
Geometric Probability - Activity B
Randomly throw darts at a target and see what percent are "hits." Vary the size of the target and repeat the experiment. Study … the relationship between the area of the target and the percent of darts that strike it.

Permutations
Experiment with permutations of a number of letters represented by letter tiles selected at random from a box. Count the permutations using … a dynamic tree diagram, a dynamic list of permutations, and a dynamic computation by the counting principle.
-
Permutations and Combinations
Experiment with permutations and combinations of a number of letters represented by letter tiles selected at random from a box. Count … the permutations and combinations using a dynamic tree diagram, a dynamic list of permutations, and a dynamic computation by the counting principle.

Probability Simulations
Experiment with spinners and compare the experimental probability of particular outcomes to the theoretical probability. Select the number … of spinners, the number of sections on a spinner, and a favorable outcome of a spin. Then tally the number of favorable outcomes.
-
Theoretical and Experimental Probability
Experiment with spinners and compare the experimental probability of a particular outcome to the theoretical probability. Select the number … of spinners, the number of sections on a spinner, and a favorable outcome of a spin. Then tally the number of favorable outcomes.
