NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Traffic" - What is Random
In "Traffic", Charlie lectures about randomness, explaining that 'our brains misperceive evenness as random and wrongly assume that groupings are deliberate'. In mathematics, we expect to see some clustering, or an occasional appearance of a pattern, when examining truly random events. In this ac...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--traffic--what-is-random
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Spree" - A Pursuit Curve Problem
In "Spree", two lovers have committed a series of crimes at various locations. Agents Eppes and Edgerton have plotted a map of their movements and have enlisted Charlie's help in trying to detect a pattern. Charlie says that the map shows only half of the story, and this pattern 'is a variation o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--spree--a-pursuit-curve-problem
