    Extractions: Investigations in Probability and Statistics Written by Celia Cuomo If your students groan at the mention of statistics, or go blank when you bring up probability, you might ask what they want to be when they grow up. Wall Street mogul? The next Freud? TV meteorologist? Well, there you go: they'll be using statistics and probability all the way up the ladder. This unit makes these subjects fun , and makes real-world connections students will use all their lives. Students dive into probability as they play games using coins, spinners, dice, and Native American game sticks. They investigate chance and probability with concrete materials, learn how to gather and analyze data, make predictions, and draw conclusions. As they gain direct experience, they also build confidence in their ability to explore probability and statistics. The guide provides background information on these themes, with information on real-life connections and careers. The activities provide a solid basis for the development of much-needed (and often neglected) real-life understandings and skills, stressing cooperation along the way.

    Extractions: The Probability and Statistics Department is part of the School of Mathematics and Statistics , which includes two other Departments, Applied Mathematics and Pure Mathematics, all of which are housed in the Hicks Building, which is near the centre of the University; in particular the Students Union, the Computer Centre and the Main Library are all nearby. In addition, however, the Department has a comfortable reading room containing a wide selection of postgraduate and research texts, and a number of the leading journals in Probability and Statistics. The Department has an extensive and very active programme of teaching and research. In addition, it has a long tradition of interest in the broader concerns of the subject: publications, professional activities, collaboration with researchers and teachers in other subjects, international contacts, consultancy, conferences, and so on. Great emphasis is placed on the practical application of statistical method in the outside world. This interest is reflected in the research work of staff and Ph.D. students and in the importance that is attached to the Department's Statistical Services Unit , which provides a comprehensive range of services to industry, commerce and the public services, including consultancy, courses and the development of computer software. The Unit has a Director and several full time consultants, as well as its own clerical staff. Other members of the academic staff act as specialist consultants as required. The staff of the Department also provides a consulting service to other departments within the University and in local hospitals, and is always willing to offer advice on the application of statistical method to problems from diverse fields.

27. STN - Book Reviews
    Sports. Alan Barson has done a splendid job including a wide assortment of topicsto engage children in activities involving probability and statistics.  
    http://www.bio.ri.ccf.org/ASA/b43-2.html
    
    Extractions: Barson also gives several excellent suggestions for extending this experiment. He suggests playing a game of hangman to see if this new knowledge assists them in discovering the secret word. Another suggestion was to examine the keys on a typewriter and explain their positioning based on this research. In the third follow-up activity the children are required to write three sentences about themselves without using any of these five most commonly used letters. I assigned this particular activity for homework that night, and many thought writing three sentences for homework would be a snap. But the next day my students came to class saying how much fun they'd had trying, although they found it impossible, to come up with three good, coherent sentences. This activity also generated much discussion. Another interesting activity in section two is a "True-False, Multiple Choice" worksheet. The task is to speculate what the odds are at passing a true-false test and a multiple choice test by just "guessing." Your students will enjoy taking this test. The children flip a coin (heads -true, tails -false) to determine the answer, summarize this information, and graph the data. What do you think the odds are? How many three-letter words can be made from the letters A, E, T, and S? is the initial challenge in the game "Making Words," found in section three - "Games People Win." Then, a little twist is added. You must now put all four letters (A, E, T, and S) in a container and remove three letters, one at a time. You must place the letters in front of you in the same order they were drawn. Yes, you don't always get a three-letter word! If you get a three-letter word you score a point. This continues for 20 rounds and the player with the most points wins. Our seventh grade students loved this game so much, they continued to play during recess. This is an excellent game to incorporate language skills into the math classroom.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC KEY ISSUES In spite of increased support for teaching probability and statistics in schools, significant problems have been reported. 1.Absence of probability and statistics lessons or courses in schools. (Barnett, 1988; Shaughnessy, 1992): To date, very little probability and statistics have been taught in our schools. 2.Teachers are not prepared to teach probability and statistics. Historically, teacher preparation programs have not systematically included probability and statistics for prospective mathematics teachers (Shaughnessy, 1992). 3.Student misconceptions and understanding. Conditional probability and the notion of independent events are reported as particularly difficult concepts for students to grasp (Falk, 1988).

    Extractions: In the Name of Probability Write the first name of everyone in your math class on a sheet of paper. Suppose that one name from the list you made will be selected at random. Each partner writes three events for this situation. The probability that the first event will occur should be 1. The probability that the second event will occur should be about . The probability that the third event will occur should be 0. Partners should combine their lists and share their work with other pairs.

    Extractions: Flavorful Probabilities A random number table contains the digits through 9 in random order. In the random number table below, the digits are arranged in groups of three. Work together to solve the following problem. You could use cards and items that represent each flavor to find the experimental probability. However, using the random number table would be much easier. If you assign a different digit from through 9 to each flavor, the groups of three numbers in the table are like packages of three snacks. Use the random number table to find the experimental probability of getting a package that contains at least two of the same flavor. Random number table:

    Extractions: Overview of the Course Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability introduces statistics as a problem-solving process. In this course, you will build your skills through investigations of different ways to collect and represent data and to analyze and interpret variation in data. The course consists of 10 sessions, each with a half hour of video programming, problem-solving activities provided online and in a print guide, and interactive activities and demonstrations on the Web. Although each session includes suggested times for how long it may take to complete all of the required activities, these times are approximate. Some activities may take longer. You should allow at least two and a half hours for each session. The 10th session explores ways to apply the statistical concepts you've learned in K-8 classrooms. You should complete the sessions sequentially. Session 1: Statistics as Problem Solving Consider statistics as a problem-solving process and examine its four components: asking questions, collecting appropriate data, analyzing the data, and interpreting the results. This session investigates the nature of data and its potential sources of variation. Variables, bias, and random sampling are introduced. Session 2: Data Organization and Representation
