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 - "The Art of Reckoning" - Spies Like Us
In "The Art of Reckoning," Charlie discusses the security of a prison. "It's a hyper-secure system, but prisoners have nothing to do except think about how to crack it. Like two opposing armies." Charlie explains that analyzing such a situation involves determining the 'probabilities of penetrati...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--the-art-of-reckoning--spies-like-us
