Probability Project: Creating a Fair Casino Game
Due: Only If Time Permits
- The Probability Project will consist of creating a casino style game using the tools acquired in Units 3 through 7, with virtually no limitations.
- There is only a written portion to this project. This project is much smaller than the Statistics Project, so you will be given approximately 4 periods in the library to complete a large portion of the work.
- All mathematical calculations are to be completed using technology. Microsoft Excel is recommended for calculations, graphs, and other data manipulations.
