Discrete Distribution (Playing Card Experiment) Class Time: Names: Student Learning Outcomes The student will compare empirical data and a theoretical distribution to determine if an everyday experiment fits a discrete distribution. The student will compare technology-generated simulation and a theoretical distribution. The student will demonstrate an understanding of long-term probabilities. Supplies One full deck of playing cards One programming calculator Procedure The experimental procedure for empirical data is to pick one card from a deck of shuffled cards. 1. The theoretical probability of picking a diamond from a deck is ______
Discrete Distribution (Playing Card Experiment)
Class Time: Names:
Student Learning Outcomes
The student will compare empirical data and a theoretical distribution to determine if an everyday experiment fits a discrete distribution.
The student will compare technology-generated simulation and a theoretical distribution.
The student will demonstrate an understanding of long-term probabilities.
Supplies
One full deck of playing cards One programming calculator
Procedure
The experimental procedure for empirical data is to pick one card from a deck of shuffled cards.
1. The theoretical probability of picking a diamond from a deck is _________. 2. Shuffle a deck of cards.
3. Pick one card from it.
4. Record whether it was a diamond or not a diamond.
5. Put the card back and reshuffle.
6. Do this a total of ten times.
7. Record the number of diamonds picked.
8. Let X = number of diamonds. Theoretically, X ~ B(_____,_____)
Organize the Data
1. Record the number of diamonds picked for your class with playing cards in Table 4.16. Then calculate the relative frequency.
