Flipping Coins
Please flip a coin a total of 40 times. Record the result (H or T). At the conclusion of every 10 flips, record the total number of H's and the total number of T's. Also provide final totals.
Rolling Dice
Please locate 2 dice and roll them a total of 20 times. Record the value of each die (3 and 4 will be considered the same roll as 4 and 3) and also record the sum of the two dice.
Random Sampling
We will be modeling the "drawing different colored balls from a bag" lab. Please locate 5 objects that are the same in feel but that can be distinguished from one another - like five squares of paper with different numbers on them, or five paper clips of different color, or Fruit Loops - you get the idea. Then place those objects in a bag, box, something so you can't see them and do the following drawings:
- Draw one item - record it - put it back. Do this for 12 trials.
- Draw one item - record it - don't put it back - Draw another item - record it. Put both of them back. Repeat this process for 12 trials.
- Place any 4 of the items in the container (leave one of them out - you are not using it for this experiment). Then draw the items one at a time without putting them back. Write the order in which the 4 items were drawn. Do this until you have drawn every possible order at least one time.
