What are the chances of that?




S3/4 were looking at probability today.  They discovered  it's possible to mathematically predict the chance of an event occurring.  Then they put their new knowledge to the test in a game of 'Higher or Lower?'.  Team 1 were victorious with 381 points and can be seen below demonstrating that they are Kings and Queens of the game.  Team 2 finished with a disappointing 2 points but still seemed happy with their prize of an apple core.

Want to test your probability skills?  Try the game below.  For full screen click here.

P.S. No money changed hands during any part of this lesson.  Honest!
