Probability by Surprise

Creator: Stanford University | visit site

Grade Range: 8 - 11

This site offers a series of Java applets that illustrate classic probability problems. They are part of a statistics course taught at Stanford University. The documentation and explanation of these problems is scant, but faculty familiar with probability will likely recognize many of them. (We especially like the “birthday problem.”) You’ll need an up-to-date browser for these applets.
