Probability and Statistics

Tuesday evening of this last week saw a number of students and parents enter the building to see student project presentations on the use of probability and statistics, a class that Diane Ehr teaches. Students needed to study the theoretical aspect of these concepts and apply them to some real life situation in which we see probability applied. For example we saw black jack, children's games, adult games and others. The students then had to develop tables and charts which showed how the activity itself supported the theoretical. Students chose some interesting projects and learned some interesting things, such as: It is no wonder that Las Vegas is thriving: it offers the possibility of immediate wealth and the probability that the house will always come out on top. Both sides have something.
