Stage 3: Applying counting and probability in the culminating project
Probability concepts and simulating and predicting will not necessarily apply to all culminating projects. In units one, two, five and six you studied concepts involving counting and probability. You should revisit these units and apply the acquired skills and concepts.
A checklist of questions may help you with this process:
- Can permutations and combinations be applied in your project?
- Is it possible to consider probability problems associated with the data in your project?
- Can empirical probabilities be calculated and would this be appropriate in the context of your project?
- Is it possible and appropriate to determine expected values in the context of your project?
- Is it appropriate to construct and use a probability distribution with your data?
- Is it possible to design a simulation as part of your culminating project?
- If a simulation is possible, have you assessed the validity of the simulation results?
You should now be working towards finishing your final project.
