NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Sharpshooter
It is believed that an unusually high occurrence of cancer in a small area may represent a "cancer cluster." Because this is rare, it is more likely to be a case of "Texas Sharpshooting." For example, suppose a person randomly shoots a gun several times at the side of a barn and draws a circle ar...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--waste-not--sharpshooter
Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Take Out" - Outliers
In "Take Out," Amita and Charlie help the FBI track financial transfers from the US to Mexico . There are so many transfers that it is difficult to find the specific transfer. Charlie explains that it is 'a matter of using a target-specific optimization model. Something called Outlier Detection.'...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--take-out--outliers

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Longshot" - Not So Great Expectations
In "Longshot," Charlie explains that the racetrack uses a pari-mutual betting system - the odds of winning vary with the amount bet on each horse. This system not only calculates proportional payoffs for the bettors, but also guarantees a profit for the racetrack owners by removing a percentage o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--longshot--not-so-great-expectations
