The Spread of Disease
Exploring Mathematics with the Probability Simulation Application
The Spread of Disease
In this activity, students simulate the spread of a disease in a population. They use the Probability Simulation application to learn that certain sums occur more often than others because of combinations of addends of those sums.
Install the Probability Simulation Application on the calculator using one of these two methods:
- TI Connect™, a TI Connectivity Cable, and the Unit-to-Unit Link Cable
- TI-Navigator™ "send to class" feature
- See the attached PDF file for detailed instructions for this activity
- Print pages 61 - 66 from the attached PDF file for your class
Distribute pages to your class.
