Texas Instruments: Use Random Numbers
Students use a graphing calculator to find experimental probabilities by generating random numbers, using the random integer function. This Technology Lab accompanies Lesson 10-5 from the 2007 Holt, Rinehart and Winston Algebra 1 textbook.

Texas Instruments: Heads Up!
In this activity, students study some important concepts of probability. They use coin tossing experiments to determine the probability of a tossed coin coming up heads. They examine both short and long term experimental probabilities...
