Match or No Match

questions
Act One

May 07, 2013
Is the next one a match or not? How many of each colour are in the bag? (When can I get a new camera?)
Act Two
- VideoAll the trials
- Teacher noteHere are a list of some of the questions students had during the trials:
-When are you stopping?
-How many yellows?
-What's the probability after 20 tries?
-What are the chances of a match?
-What's the experimental probability?
-What's the theoretical probability?
-What's in the bag?
As you can see most questions lead to more questions or need some tweaking.
Final information needed to answer some of those questions:
100 trials = 57 non-matches, 36 blue matches, 7 yellow matches
Act Three
Sequel
- 1.
How far was the experimental probability from the theoretical probability?
- 2.
What results would you predict for a bag with 4 blue and 3 yellow (after 100 trials)?
- 3.
What contents of a bag would result in 50% matches and 50% non-matches? Can you prove it experimentally, and/or theoretically?
- 4.
Can you create a bag that will result in 25% matches theoretically?
- 5.
Do you see a pattern in your theoretical results? For example a bag with 1 blue and 1 yellow, or (2-1), (3-1), (4-1) and so on.
