==================== Week 3 - Probability ==================== Monday 10:00 - 10:50 -------------------- + Law of large numbers activity. + Split class into four groups. Give each an event, e.g.: + Get 3 heads in 5 coin tosses. + Draw two red cards in a hand of two cards. + Roll two dice and the minimum is less than 3. + Ask the groups to calculate the probability of the event occuring. + Ask the group to perform the experiment 20 times, recording the number of times the event occured. + Bring class together, in turn each group will explain how they calculates the probability of their event, and will input their data into a spreadsheet. This will show the long run average converging to the calcuated probability over time. + Wrap up by saying this is the law of large numbers. Tuesday 09:00 - 10:50 --------------------- + Probability theory activity + Group activity: `True or False probability statements <_static/Probability-TrueFalse.pdf>`_:. + Work on tutorial sheet 2, probability.
