Probability and misuse of statistics in society
Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development, Inc. (SEED) offers creative math puzzles, with solutions. Puzzle categories include:
* Number Sense
* Arithmetic
* Probability
* Algebraic Thinking
* Geometry, Spatial Reasoning, and Visualization
* Topology
* Logic
* Combinatorics
* Miscellaneous
This tool will draw 6 random numbers from 1 to as high as you like. The numbers are random and will be different every time. Makes a fun way to do probability exercises, extra credit questions where students have to guess the number(s) that will come up, and many other clever activities we're sure you'll think of. Have fun!
Statistics and probability play an important part in our lives and are particularly useful in
helping us make wise decisions. This exercise will help the students see that there are mathematical rules that can effect even our use of the English language.
GRADES/SUBJECT: Appropriate for Grades 7 though 12. Mathematics and English language.
PURPOSE: This exercise re-enforces the value of statistical research and provides an interesting view of the way people write.
