    is the final strand of the Australian curriculum relating to mathematics. Students using probability are “experimenting various theoretical approaches”- Australian Curriculum (2016). Probability is when you divide the number of outcomes in which an event can occur by the number of possible outcomes (Lakin, 2010, p.p131). My experience and knowledge has expanded while studying probability in this unit. It has been developed in activities such as MathSpace and WIKA (appendix m). MathSpace helped me

    AIM OF THE EXPLORATION Way of scoring in Tennis makes it a different from other games. The unique point is that the scoring at the point level is not cumulative and hence, it is possible for a player scoring less points than her or his opponent to win a match. In this portfolio, we will explore  How to construct a probabilistic model for a tennis match in which the probabilities of winning points are used to analyze the probability of winning matches.  Charts, which will illustrate the

    Introduction So, while doing my best to effectively research the subject enough to write a paper on it, it became rather apparent that I was not mathematically inclined enough to fully understand how the law actually works. However, I was able to understand that the law has gone through a very long period of time where researchers and theorists have worked and worked to prove that there is some form of proof that this is more than a random occurrence, but still haven’t come up with any REAL answer

    space: S= {1,2,3,4,5,6} Events: E₁= {3} – rolling a number 3 E₂= {2, 4, 6} - rolling an even number E₃= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} - you roll a number between 1 and 6. E₃= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is a certain event. 17 out of this is an impossible event due to the fact that there is no possible way for 17 to be in that grouping. Which leads to an empty set. Probabilities and Odds Example: A coin is flipped, find the following… Find the sample space Find the probability of event E₁, getting

    strictly define the events before computing the conditional probability and use the properties or Bayes’ theorem to find the conditional probability. Statisticians understand that conditional probability derives from the concept of probability. Probability is a number between zero and one, which measures the likelihood that an event will occur. The bigger the probability is, the more likely this event is going to happen. The conditional probability of event A happens given that event B occurs can be

    accredit the causes of random events, make unsound choices when faced with doubt and constantly undervalue the role of chance. The probability that two events will both occur can never be greater than the probability that each will occur individually. Mlodinow says, this is do to “simple arithmetic: the chances that event A will occur = the chances that events A and B will occur + the chance that event A will occur and event B will not occur.” If two possible events, A and B, are independent, then

    expected the season they were about to have. 3.They ended the season with a 34-5 record and also were undefeated at home. 4. During the season they never lost two games in a row. 5. They ended on a 21 game winning streak. 6. They also won the Horizon League Tournament which would secure their NCAA Tournament spot. 7. If they wanted the regular season to mean anything, they would have to produce an amazing NCAA tournament. C. Butler's run through March Madness was magical and unbelievable which

    On Friday, September 23, the University of Central Florida Theatre Program performed Clybourne Park, written by Bruce Norris, which was directed by David Reed. Clybourne Park satirizes racism and how foolish people were in not being able to accept the differences among each other. The late 1950’s was a time when racism was at its peak, which caused serious turmoil amongst fellow American citizens. Clybourne Park is a play about how society needs to progress and embrace change. Set in 1959 Chicago
