Texas Instruments: Off to the Races
In this activity, students set weights for factors and observe how it affects the probability of a particular outcome. They set a weight for 3 factors for each of the six horses in a race. The three factors are weighted differently in...

Texas Instruments: Probability
Students examine predictable outcomes of events such as flipping a coin or rolling a dice. They see that these events repeated many times form a pattern of distribution. They explore the probability concepts of most likely and least likely.
