Activity 5

MATH 216: Statistical Thinking

Activity 1: Think-Pair-Share

  1. Think: Individually, list the sample space for the experiment of rolling a die and tossing a coin simultaneously.
  2. Pair: Discuss with a partner to compare and refine their sample spaces.
  3. Share: Share your combined sample space with the class and explain how you arrived at it.

Activity 2: Quiz

  1. Question: What is the probability of rolling a 2 on a fair six-sided die?
  1. 1/6
  2. 1/3
  3. 1/2
  4. 1/1

Activity 4: Group Activities with Real Data

  1. Dataset: You are given a dataset of 200 die roll outcomes
  2. Task:
    • Calculate the probability of rolling an even number.
    • Create a histogram of the die roll outcomes.
  3. Discussion: Compare the empirical probability with the theoretical probability.
