PROBABILITY CHOICE BOARD

Directions: Choose 3 activities that you would like to complete but it MUST total to a minimum of 11 points. You MUST do at least
one Interactive activity. If you get passed 11 points, you can only earn a MAXIMUM of 11 points. Each box has its own set of tasks so
read the instructions carefully.
Points: Each category has its own point values.

 Vocabulary – 2 points
 Problem – 4 points
 History – 5 points
 Writing – 4 points
 Proof – 6 points
Due date: Some activities are challenging and long, therefore, you will have 2 week from the assigned date to complete your choice
board at your own pace.
Please see the next page for your choice board.
Probability Choice Board – Ms. Nguyen
VOCABULARY - Interactive
Create Frayer Models for the following
terms using Gliffy or Popplet: Probability,
sample space, dependent event,
multiplication rule.
WRITING - Interactive
Research for at least 2 applications on how
probability is used in the real world. Create
a new post on your Blogger webpage
writing a brief description of the
applications you chose and how it is
applied in the real world. Each application
should be a minimum of 100 words.
Include an appropriate sized picture that
represents each application discussed.
Publish your post and submit your link to
me via email.
You may use these sites to start (but you
are not limited to them!):
Source 1, Source 2
PROOF
Prove the following statement: If A is an
event, then 𝑃(𝐴𝑐 ) = 1 − 𝑃(𝐴).
HISTORY - Interactive
1. Collaborate with one or two other
classmates for this activity.
2. For the following mathematicians
below, research and write down a
short description on their important
contributions to mathematics on a
separate piece of paper.
3. Create a timeline using Timetoast or
TimelineJS to organize their
contributions by published date. Be
sure to add a picture for each point
and credits/references for pictures and
description.
4. Publish your timeline, submit the live
link to me via email.

Fermat, Pierre-Simon Laplace, Thomas
Bayes, Daniel Bernoulli

PROBLEM
One ball is to be selected from a box
containing red, white, blue, yellow, and
green balls. If the probability that the
1
selected ball will be red is 5 and the
2
probability that it will be white is 5 , what is
the probability that it will be blue, yellow,
or green?
PROBLEM
Three different classes contain 20, 18, and
25 students, respectively, and no student is
a member of more than one class. If a
team is to be composed of one student
from each of these three classes, in how
many different ways can the members of
the team be chosen?
PROBLEM
If two balanced dice are rolled, what is
the probability that the difference
between two numbers that appear will
be less than 3?
