Lesson Topic
Discussion on Probability
Lesson Outline
Before tackling the mathematics of statistics and probability, I thought it would be interesting for Jared to discuss some of the practical aspects of these subjects. So, after yesterday's foray into data and statistics, today we discussed probability in conjunction with the homework Jared had done on tossing a coin, highlighting how often the concepts of probability are misunderstood.
Assignment
Record the outcome of tossing a real coin versus a computer-generated toss – is the latter really random?

Lesson Comments
Despite Jared's restlessness in the previous class, he was quite attentive for our session on Probability. I think he perked up when we discussed misconceptions on the odds of consecutive lottery wins, and how important it is to fully understand probability when playing Black Jack. I can't wait to get to the nitty-gritty of the math involved.
