Binomial Distribution
The workbook contains a number of simulations designed to aid students understanding of the Binomial distribution.
Binomial distribution: simulated tossing a coin ten times. The probability of achieving 0,1,2… heads is calculated and displayed in a frequency table and a bar chart. The probability of tossing a head can be set by the student. Work card 3.1 leads students through the activity and sets further challenges.
Letters simulation: simulates a postman receiving a bundle of letters which can be address side up or address side down. The bundle size is set by the student. A frequency chart and bar chart indicate how many letters were address side up in each bundle. Work card 3.2 leads students through the activity.
Binomial distributions: enables students to compare graphically up to three Binomial distributions with different values of n and p. Work card 3.3 leads students through the activity.
