Roulette American roulette wheel Simple $1 bet on either red or black If ball lands in slot of that color, the player gets the original dollar back, plus an additional dollar for winning the bet. Otherwise, you lose. 38 slots 1-36, 0, 00. Half of 1-36 are red, black. 0 and 00 are green
Roulette Value -$1 $1 Probability
Expected value Multiply each possible value by its probability then adding them up Expected value= Law of large numbers

Draw an Ace Draw cards until you get an Ace. Record how many cards you had to select. Do this 10 times Get Data from 4 other people (so 50 trials total)
Ace Put your data in List 1 Find expected value Graph (histogram) Describe the data (SOCS)
Spinning/Tossing Coin Spin 20 times and record the number of heads w/o putty Toss 20 times and record the number of heads w/o putty Spin 20 times and record the number of heads w/putty Toss 20 times and record the number of heads w/putty
Coin Combine your data with 4 other people Did the putty make a difference when tossing? If yes, in what direction? Did the putty make a difference when spinning? If yes, in what direction? Which was the most probable? Which was the least probable?
Birthdays There are 30 students in Austin’s precalculus class, all unrelated. He wants to bet you $1 that at least 2 students were born on the same day of the year. Should you take the bet?
Birthdays Probability model Birth date is equally likely to be any of the 365 days of the year (ignoring Feb 29th) The birth dates of different people are independent
Birthdays Describe how to use your calculator to simulate 30 random birthdays from the 365 possible days Carry out your simulation. Perform 20 repetitions. Combine your results with 3 other people. Should you take Austin’s bet? 2,1,0,2,2,1,3,1,1,1,4,0,3,2,0,2,0,0,2,2----- 15/20 (don’t add, just count how many instances)
“High-Low” Hi-Lo is a very simple card game. A dealer ("the house") starts with a deck of cards and turns over the top card. The player then guesses whether the next card in the deck will be higher or lower than that card. If the guess is correct, the player wins that round. If the guess is wrong, the house wins that round. If the two cards are equal, it's a tie: neither side wins or loses.
“High-Low” The best strategy allows the player to guess correctly more than 70% of the time. How do you go about finding that strategy? https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Math_p044/pure-mathematics/card-counting?from=Blog#background http://teaching.monster.com/training/articles/9164-high-or-low-a-game-of-probability
