standard_description: 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.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Part A: Predict the shape of the graph at 2,000 trials.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table"], "style": "width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "10 trials"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "100 trials"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "533 trials"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"alt": "", "src": "https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2018/06/05/algiiu8_l7_at1.png", "style": "height:122px; width:300px"}}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"alt": "", "src": "https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2018/06/05/algiiu8_l7_at1a.png", "style": "height:115px; width:300px"}}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"alt": "", "src": "https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2018/06/05/algiiu8_l7_at1b.png", "style": "height:120px; width:300px"}}]}]}]}]}]}
Part B: At 1,799 trials, the graph looks like this:

The mean of the data is approximately 6, and the standard deviation is 1.7. The blue lines around the graph are what should be the "ideal" normal distribution.
Describe what the mean and the standard deviation mean in terms of this situation.
Problem 2
Match the following distributions with the histograms. Explain your reasoning.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table"], "style": "width:80%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Distribution"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Shape"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Mean"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Standard Deviation"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "A"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Skewed to the right"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "100"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "10"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "B"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Approximately symmetric, mound shaped"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "100"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "10"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "C"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Approximately symmetric, mound shaped"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "100"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "40"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "D"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Skewed to the right"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "100"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "40"}]}]}]}]}]}
