Comments

Comments: Students will learn the distinction between deterministic phenomena and random sampling. This program introduces the concepts of sample space, events, and outcomes, and demonstrates how to use them to create a probability model. A discussion of statistician Persi Diaconis’s work with probability theory covers many of the central ideas about randomness and probability.
