Module 5a Activity

Coin Toss Experiment:

In pairs (or individually), toss a coin 20 times and record the number of tosses.

              Quantity            Percentage

Heads _______              ________

Tails  ________             ________

What is the expected value for heads and tails? What is the actual value?

If you tossed the coin 500 times, would you be likely to get a percentage closer or further from the actually probability?

If you were to draw 24 cards from a deck of 52 replacing each card after recording its suit, predict how many of each suit you would expect to draw.

Hearts (estimate)              Clubs (estimate)             Diamonds(estimate)             Spades(estimate)

Now Select 24 cards (with replacement) and tally the total number of cards that fall into each category.

Hearts (actual value)               Clubs(actual value)       Diamonds(actual value)      Spades(actual value)

__________                             _____________             _____________                     __________

Hearts (percentage)               Clubs(percentage)           Diamonds(percentage)       Spades(percentage)
