Instructions for Use

Fish Tank allows students to measure how likely an event is to happen or probability.

To use Fish Tank, choose the level of difficulty and press ' Start'. Answer the probability question by clicking on the pull-down menus. Press 'Go' to continue.

Probability lets students identify the theoretical probability of favourable outcomes.

To use Probability, select a red button to the left of the screen - die, spin, suit, card, or coin. The green line shows the theoretical probability for each event.

Click '?' several times to generate an experimental probability. Click 'Reset' to return to the theoretical probability.
