Probability Carnival Write Up

Name: ______Date: ______Period: _____

(Rough Draft Planner)

The probability games that we have been creating in class are in many ways an experiment. We will be writing it up as such. This is a rough draft guideline for your lab write up. Your data from the actual carnival will be part of this assignment. When you are all done, this will count as a portfolio entry.

Introduction In this section describe your game and how you expected the game to go. Why did you expect it to go that way? (This is your hypothesis). Be sure to include a definition of theoretical probability in this section.

Results Re-type and put your raw data here. This should include: how many people played your game, how many people won or lost, and any observations you made about how the game was going.

______

Analysis In this section you will tell how the game went. Did the experimental probability match the theoretical probability? What went well? If anything didn’t go as planned be sure to include what went wrong! How could you improve this game if we were going to host a second carnival? (use extra paper if necessary).
