Description
In this lesson, students are again given a description of a chance experiment that results in a discrete random variable. Students derive the discrete probability distribution for that random variable and use it to answer probability questions and interpret those probabilities in context. As in the previous lesson, students mathematically determine probability distributions based on the possible outcomes of an event. In this lesson, they realize that only after many trials do distributions of event outcomes approach those in the calculated probability distribution. Each student needs two pennies for this lesson.
