Theoretical Probability
 | Solve word problems involving theoretical probability |
Theoretical probability is the ratio between the number of ways an event can occur and the total number of possible outcomes in the sample space. Put simply, it's the chance that something will happen, and is usually expressed as a percentage between zero and one hundred per cent. The problems generated here can be on one of two levels of difficulty. Easier problems are more straightforward because they ask about a particular outcome or range of outcomes. The more difficult problems require more thinking because they ask for some quality of the outcome, such as numbers being odd or prime. Some problems also require the knowledge of playing cards. Unless you want to use this activity in the broader scope of introducing the probalistic qualities of cards, you might want to disable this option.

Public Beta Preview
This website is currently in the late stages of its development, a state referred to as beta. As with all beta software, it has some quirks and many parts are not yet available. We are working hard to finalize the system's structure, and roughly once every two weeks we roll out new functionality towards this goal. Until then you may notice that some resources move or even disappear for a while.
