Description

In this project, students will design and use a simulation to find the experimental probability of compound events. The simulation is meant to simulate guessing on a four-question quiz that has multiple choice and true/false questions. After students design the simulation, they will conduct trials to find the probability. They will compare experimental and theoretical probability for each question, and use their trial results to find the probability of passing the quiz. Students will also make predictions based on their results.

You will receive a printable pdf version as well as a link to download a Google Slides version in which all of the text is editable.

My students loved that this project is hands-on and provides choices. I love that it really drives home the difference between experimental and theoretical probability. Since the number of trials can become a bit tedious, I have assigned this project to teams of two so they can take turns rolling dice/spinning spinners/drawing cubes from a bag/flipping a coin and recording the results. This also cuts down on time and allows for this project to be finished within two 51-min class periods. I have used this project 2 years in a row now and plan on using it again next year!

This was a very fun way for students to apply probability as we reviewed how data and statistics are useful in probability students. It was challenging enough for my upper grade students who need to "see" the experiments and gave us a lot of good conversation about how they designed their experiments and conducted them.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.
Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy.
Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.
