Students' Informal Inference about the Binomial Distribution of "Bunny Hops": A Dialogic Perspective
Kazak, Sibel; Fujita, Taro; Wegerif, Rupert – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2016
The study explores the development of 11-year-old students' informal inference about random bunny hops through student talk and use of computer simulation tools. Our aim in this paper is to draw on dialogic theory to explain how students make shifts in perspective, from intuition-based reasoning to more powerful, formal ways of using probabilistic…

Cotton, John W. – 1970
The behavior of focus samples central to the multiple-look model of Trabasso and Bower is examined by three methods. First, exact probabilities of success conditional upon a certain brief history of stimulation are determined. Second, possible states of the organism during the experiment are defined and a transition matrix for those states…

David, Karl – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
A discussion of the classic probability hat check problem. The paper shows how the hat check problem can be viewed as a problem about enumerating certain members of the symmetric group of permutations on n symbols, with an ensuing generalization. (PK)

Bartlett, Albert A. – Physics Teacher, 1993
Discusses the probability of seeing a tire explode or disintegrate while traveling down the highway. Suggests that a person observing 10 hours a day would see a failure on the average of once every 300 years. (MVL)
