Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Random Thoughts

Curated by ACT

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson shows students that random patterns often contain seemingly un-random subpatterns. Students experiment by flipping a coin a number of times and then looking for "runs" of heads or "runs" of tails. Then, students are given a series of such simulations and must choose the "fake" simulations.
