Description

In this project, students will design and use a simulation to find the experimental probability of compound events. The simulation is meant to simulate guessing on a four-question quiz that has multiple choice and true/false questions. After students design the simulation, they will conduct trials to find the probability. They will compare experimental and theoretical probability for each question, and use their trial results to find the probability of passing the quiz. Students will also make predictions based on their results.

You will receive a printable pdf version as well as a link to download a Google Slides version in which all of the text is editable.

This resource contains all the resources necessary to implement this project, including
⭐project overview
⭐ project expectations
⭐simulation design
⭐trial results
⭐results analysis
⭐predictions.

Additional materials:
✅grading rubric
✅blank manipulatives template, and
✅differentiation options including two extension tasks
✅differentiation options including sentence frames for students needing accommodations

Standards

CCSS7.SP.C.6

Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.

CCSS7.SP.C.7

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.

CCSS7.SP.C.8

Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.

CCSS7.SP.C.8b

Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., “rolling double sixes”), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.

CCSS7.SP.C.8c

Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events. For example, use random digits as a simulation tool to approximate the answer to the question: If 40% of donors have type A blood, what is the probability that it will take at least 4 donors to find one with type A blood?
