Chapter DescriptionsSection 8.1Single-stage Experiments: Describes the difference between experimental and theoretical probability, provides examples of compound events, and introduces simulations for approximating theoretical probabilities. Subsections: Probabilities of Outcomes; Probabilities of Events; Mutually Exclusive Events; Odds; Experimental Probability; Simulations; Problem-Solving Application One-page Math Activity: Experimental Probabilities from SimulationsSection 8.2Multistage Experiments: Introduces tree diagrams to determine the theoretical probability of dependent and independent events, and uses expected value to illustrate expected gain or lose and to determine the fairness of games. Subsections: Probabilities of Outcomes; Probabilities of Events; Complementary Events; Problem-Solving Application; Expected Value; Permutations and CombinationsOne-page Math Activity: Determining Fairness of GamesInteractive Applet: Door Prizes
