NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Double Down" - A Bit of Basic Blackjack

In "Double Down," three students are tied up in a money-laundering scheme involving money won in the card game blackjack. In this activity, we discuss a simplified version of blackjack and analyze the probability of winning in various situations. Because cards are drawn from the deck and not re...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Democracy" - No Desk Left Behind

In "Democracy", Charlie calculates the likelihood that five people who knew each other would have died by accident in a two-week period. He estimates that the odds of this are 700 million to 1. To estimate likelihood of an event, a simulation can be used. In this activity, students use a simulati...

What Is Your Grade (Part 2)

In this activity, students use the CellSheet Application to determine the missing value in a weighted mean. They use the application to write a formula to find the weighted mean and also learn to use the copy and paste features.

What! A Mistake!

Students learn about Type I and Type II errors. Then, for a given scenario, they calculate the probabilities of errors and the power of the test.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "The O.G." - Is It Really Rare?

Suppose that historically, a shooting has occurred in Los Angeles an average of once every 6 hours. Suppose that Charlie is interested in the probability of 2 shootings occurring in a given 24-hour period. He could use a Poisson distribution to find that probability.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Rampage" - I...It...Itera...Iteration

In "Rampage," a suspect enters the FBI Bullpen and moves about, apparently shooting people at random. Charlie examines a diagram of the killer's path through the Bullpen and suggests it might resemble Brownian motion. In this activity, students first model this motion with ten iterations by hand...

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Mind Games" - Walkabout

In "Mind Games," Charlie uses the Fokker-Planck equation to predict the movement of illegal immigrants. The equation is used to predict the likely movement of something under the influence of external forces. It was originally developed to study Brownian motion, the apparently random movement of ...

Intro to the Central Limit Theorem

Students discover the Central Limit Theorem by simulating rolls of two, four, and seven number cubes via the random number generator.

Candy Pieces

Students use a chi-square test for goodness-of-fit to determine if there is a significant difference between the proportions they find in the sample, and the proportions they would expect if the manufacturer produced equal proportions of each color.

Difference Between Two Proportions

Students use confidence intervals to estimate the difference of two population proportions.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Judgement Call" - Filtering Suspects

In "Judgement Call,"Charlie helps the FBI sort through their case files for relevant suspects. He applies a logical filter to find the files most relevant to a specific crime. This activity explores Bayesian Filtering and exposes students to how math can be seen in the world around them.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Harvest" - Markov Chain Links

In "Harvest," Charlie is trying to identify possible destinations and unrecorded routes of an ambulance driver suspected of transporting stolen organs. Charlie tells Colby that they can use a Hidden Markov Model to help narrow down these possibilities.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Double Down" - That's So Random

In "Double Down," three college students attempt to get an edge in a casino card game by analyzing the mechanical randomization process used to shuffle the cards. As Charlie explains, the auto-shuffler relies on an algorithm to deal the cards in random order. The students are able to crack the al...

Equations of Circles

In this activity, students will explore the relationship among the location of the center of the circle, the radius of a circle, and the equation of a circle in a plane. They will also investigate the relationship between the points inside, on, and outside a circle, and the equation of the circle.
