Teaching Data Analysis and Probability Chapter 5- Designing and Using Probability Simulations<\/h2><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Teachers learn how computing tools such as graphing calculators and spreadsheets can be used to simulate random events, and how simulations can be used to make informed estimates. The context concerns the retention rate of college freshmen. The text includes attention to an empirical approach to probability that can be used to foster understanding of the effect of sample size and variability when comparing empirical data to an expected outcome based on a theoretical estimate of probability. In addition, teachers are exposed to the pedagogical approach of using intervals as estimates in probabilistic situations rather than single value estimates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
