Peer reviewedMustoe, L. R. – Mathematics in School, 1978
Some applications of the theory of games to competitive situations are examined by looking at several examples, including a military problem, a political problem, and a prisoner's dilemma. (MP)

Peer reviewedGray, Sandra; And Others – Mathematics in School, 1978
This informal survey found that the probability that a person is in the over 45 age group, and is left-handed, is significantly different from the probability in the population as a whole. (MP)

Peer reviewedWatson, F. R. – Mathematics in School, 1973
Rules for three mathematics games are specified. One game is concerned with providing an entertaining framework for routine practice; the other two games are based on estimating probabilities of outcomes. (DT)

Peer reviewedHeritage, Raymond S. – Mathematics in School, 1974
This article is the third in a series on the teaching of sets and some of the reasons for doing so. A discussion is presented of the use of set language in teaching concepts from logic, probability and algebra. (JP)

Peer reviewedSherwood, Philip – Mathematics in School, 1978
Dr. Varga's description of the beginning of the Hungarian Project (primary mathematics) is recorded along with two examples of assignments to generate exploration and discussion involving probability. (MN)

Peer reviewedSelkirk, Keith – Mathematics in School, 1974
Nine problem situations involving the use of random numbers are given. Topics include cooking, hunting, bacteria contamination, waiting lines, ransom walks, and branching. In addition to the problem situation, questions are suggested which can be used to extend the investigations. (LS)

Peer reviewedSelkirk, Keith – Mathematics in School, 1973
A mathematical model of a soccer-league competition results is set up and investigated using simple randomization techniques. The hypothesis that winning the league championship was purely luck was statistically tested. (JP)

Peer reviewedGreen, D. R. – Mathematics in School, 1981
The history of probability from ancient times is presented. The relationship between the mathematical and experimental definitions of probability are detailed. (MP)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedGreen, David – Mathematics in School, 1983
Concepts of probability held by pupils ages 11-16 were ascertained, in conjunction with a unit focusing on possible biases toward the number 6. (MNS)

Peer reviewedFakler, Robert – Mathematics in School, 1990
Describes a model for geometrical probability. Presents two examples of basic theories of probability using geometrical probability. Provides three problems using the described theorem. (YP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computation, Geometric Concepts, Higher Education
Peer reviewedHolmes, P. – Mathematics in School, 1976
Referring to several examples, the author argues that more time should be spent developing statistical concepts such as randomness and independence before developing mathematical models for statistical computations. (SD)
