Extra Practice Example -Probability.
Probability Quiz. Quiz yourself on-line. Get your score.
Great Simulations. Try the links here for some good simulations:
Spinners and Dice – Simulation – Experimental Probability. This is an excellent interactive site. Make your own spinners! Make one that is 95% green and 5% Red. Make dice with 2- fives if you want. Run some experiments, have fun. Hey, make dice that have all six sides that are fives! What is your probability of rolling a sum of seven then?
Spinner Simulation. Great interactive spinner. Design your own. Make it 97% Green if you want. Compare the experimental with the theoretical.
Marbles Marbles Marbles. Lost your marbles? Don’t worry, you can simulate a bagful of them here. Invent your own bag of marbles, make 10,000 draws if you want. Replace or don’t replace the marbles. It is all fun, watch the experimental probability compared to the theoretical probability of what you did. A riot.
Plinko A wonderful App to see the Binomial Distribution, the number of pathways in a game of Plinko! Pascal’s Triangle!! The Price is Right game show
Games (fun for the whole family)
