Content Area: Math

 

Index: 4.4B Grade 12 CPI 3

 

Standard: 4.4 - Data Analysis, Probability, and Discrete Mathematics

 

Strand: B - Probability

 

Cumulative Progress Indicator: 3 - The student will model situations involving probability with simulations (using spinners, dice, calculators and computers) and theoretical models, and solve problems using these models.

 

Grade: 12

 

Sample Activities:

 

·        Students derive the theoretical probability of winning the New Jersey Pick 6 lottery and then write a computer program to simulate the lottery. The students enter the winning numbers and the computer generates sets of 6 numbers until it hits the winning combination. The computer prints out the number of sets generated including the winning one. Students run the program several times, attempting to verify experimentally the theoretical probability they derived.
