Probabilitati


Basic Probability What are the chances you are a math ace? Find out in this BrainPOP movie, in which Tim and Moby review the ins and outs of probability! You’ll learn all about what probability means, why we study it, and how to express a probability on paper. Using dice as an example, Tim will show you how to determine the number of possible outcomes in a random event. You’ll also learn how to use a grid to figure out probabilities in more complex situations. Probabilities aren’t just for predicting dice rolls - the principles you’ll learn are the basis for predictions in all kinds of complex systems, from the stock market to the weather! Odds are you’ll get a lot out of this movie!
Game Theory Time to get your game on! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby discuss the basics of game theory, a field of economics that formulates mathematical strategies for complex situations. You’ll learn about the basic ingredients of any game, including players, rules, consequences, and payoffs. You’ll see how game theorists use a matrix to record their results. You’ll also find out the difference between the two basic categories of games: cooperative and non-cooperative. And if you think game theory doesn’t have any connection to the real world, Tim and Moby will show you how you’re already a game theorist...you just don’t know it yet!
Mean, Median, Mode, and Range What’s the meaning of a mean - and a median, a mode, and a range? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby help you identify the differences between these categories that describe trends for a set of numbers. First you’ll learn how to add up a set of numbers to figure out the mean. You’ll also learn about range, a way to express the extremes of a number list. If you sort the list of numbers in order, you’ll be able to identify the median, too. Finally, Tim will show you how to compare the numbers in a list to determine what the mode is. This movie will really - we mean really - help you out!
Probability of Compound Events Think you’re a probability expert? Have we got a little challenge for you! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby show you how to calculate probabilities for compound events. You’ll discover the difference between exclusive and inclusive events and how to handle each type. Using a simple toy spinner, Tim and Moby give you a 100 percent chance of understanding compound probabilities!
Probability of Independent Events You’ve just flipped a quarter 10 heads in a row. What are the chances that the next coin toss will be heads? Check out this BrainPOP movie to find out the answer! In it, Tim and Moby will explain how to calculate the probabilities for independent events, like a coin toss. After that, you’ll learn how to figure out the odds that two or more independent events will happen. You’ll need to know how to multiply fractions and convert them into percentages to do it right. Finally, Tim demonstrates how to solve for dependent events, where the probabilities are all linked up! We think it’s more than probable that you’ll like this movie!
