Probability Simulations
Students use the random integer (randInt) command to simulate probability experiments. They also graph the number of trials and corresponding probabilities to observe the Law of Large Numbers. Simulated experiments involve tossing a coin, spinning a spinner, and observing the gender of children i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-simulations_1
Probability Distributions
Students list outcomes for probability experiments such as flipping a coin, rolling number cubes, and observing the sex of each child born in a family. They use these outcomes to record the values of random variables, such as number of tails, sum of the cubes, and number of boys. Students then cr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-distributions_2
Probability Distributions

Multiplicity of Zeros of Functions
Students will utilize graphs and equations of five polynomial functions to determine the zeros of the functions and whether the functions cross the x-axis at these zeros or just touch the x-axis at the zeros. Then students will determine the degree of the polynomial functions and the effect the d...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/multiplicity-of-zeros-of-functions
