BR Probability Students study concepts of probability such as random behavior, partition of sample space, expected value, and conditional probability. Coin toss experiments, spinner simulation, and lottery games are a few of the applications. Lesson 1 Introduction to Random Behavior Random behavior is defined based on a coin toss experiment that the students complete.
Random behavior is compared to chaotic, lawful, and clairvoyant behavior.
Lesson 2 Sample Spaces and Probability Models Coin toss and dice throw are used to explain the concepts of probability model and partition of a sample space. Lesson 3 Empirical Probabilities Students perform coin toss experiments and spinner simulations to develop an understanding of empirical probability. A four coin toss, dice roll, and spinner simulations are used to develop theoretical probabilities. Lesson 5 Basic Rules of Probability Probability values between 0 and 1 are used to describe certain events, impossible events and likelihood of an event occurring versus not occurring. Lesson 6 Expected Value of Equally Likely Outcomes Expected value is calculated as an average where a numerical value is assigned to a particular outcome.
