Big Ideas
- Experiments can be used to test the accuracy of mathematical models of probability.
- Comparing experimental data to theoretical predictions helps determine if a model is reasonable.
Essential Questions
- How can experiments help us decide if a probability model is valid?
- What does it mean for a theoretical probability model to be reasonable?
- In what situations might experimental results differ from theoretical predictions?
- How can we use binomial and geometric models to describe real-world situations?
- What is the process for evaluating the fit of a theoretical model using data from an experiment?
