10/26 Lesson 5.2.2 Probability using Computer Simulations

1.  Warm-up:

For each of the following games, a random number generator is used.  The random numbers are integers ranging from 1 to 20.  Assume that Player Y wins if Player X does not.

Game 1:  Player X wins if the number is prime
Game 2:  Player X wins if the number is even
Game 3:  Player X wins if the number is NOT divisible by 3

For each game:

a) Find the Probability that X wins        b) Find the probability that Y wins     

c) Is it a fair game?


2.  Lesson 5.2.2 Probability Using Computer Simulations

  • Objective:  I will calculate the probability of complex situations using computer simulations
  • Mr. Robinett leads Problem 35.  When your team is finished, fill out this form to enter your team's data.  Only 1 form per team!
  • With your new knowledge of computer simulations, design an experiment to help you solve Problems 36 and 37
