CHAPTER 10 - THE JAR OF MARBLES (JM) Probability, Statistics and Interpreting Data

Students will know... ...how to find theoretical and experimental probability which will reinforce fraction skills ...how to recognize question bias, to explore sampling techniques, and to choose a representative sample ...how to find the probability of independent and dependent events ...how to determine whether a correlation exists and if causality is reasonable for a given correlation

Students will... ...be able to use and interpret probability to study real data ...be able to use and interpret statistics to study real data ...be aware of techniques to manipluate data

Activities
 * Explore probability through experimentation
 * Learn the difference between theoretical and experimental probability
 * Classify and calculate independent and dependent probabilities
 * Represent possible outcomes in tables, grids and tree diagrams
 * Analyze questions for bias
 * Learn to select representative samples
 * Classify questions as open or closed option
 * Determine whether a correlation exists in a scatter plot
 * Determine if causality is reasonable for a given correlation

Students will show their understanding by... ...notebook checks ...tests (pair, individual, team) ...classroom written work ...classroom discussions ...written homework ...quizzes (pair, team, and individual) ...participation in games
