Intro to Probability & Statistics: Games of Chance- Wait List

Description:

Students will be introduced to the field of probability and statistics by analyzing games of chance from television game shows, Las Vegas casinos, and lotteries of different kinds. What are the chances of getting exactly 21 on the first deal in blackjack? What are the odds of landing on the million dollar space on Wheel of Fortune, winning the state lottery, and why does the house always win? Students will be immersed in probability theory. They will calculate theoretical probabilities and collect data to determine experimental probability. Students will use fractions, decimals and percentages to represent probabilities and positive integers to represent odds. They will be presented with increasingly difficult scenarios to which they will apply their knowledge of probability. Students will become comfortable using basic counting methods of combinatorics. The last class will focus on the importance of being a skeptical consumer of information provided by mass media.
