The student will compare empirical data and a theoretical distribution to determine if an everyday experiment fits a discrete distribution.
The student will demonstrate an understanding of long-term probabilities.
Supplies
One full deck of playing cards
Procedure
The experimental procedure is to pick one card from a deck of shuffled cards.
The theoretical probability of picking a diamond from a deck is _________.
Shuffle a deck of cards.
Pick one card from it.
Record whether it was a diamond or not a diamond.
Put the card back and reshuffle.
Do this a total of ten times.
Record the number of diamonds picked.
Let
X = number of diamonds. Theoretically,
X ~
B (_____,_____)
Organize the data
Record the number of diamonds picked for your class in
[link] . Then calculate the relative frequency.

Note
RF = relative frequency
Use the table from the
Theoretical Distribution section to calculate the following answers. Round your answers to four decimal places.
P (
x = 3) = _______________________
P (1<

Discussion questions
For questions 1 and 2, think about the shapes of the two graphs, the probabilities, the relative frequencies, the means, and the standard deviations.
Knowing that data vary, describe three similarities between the graphs and distributions of the theoretical and empirical distributions. Use complete sentences.
Describe the three most significant differences between the graphs or distributions of the theoretical and empirical distributions.
Using your answers from questions 1 and 2, does it appear that the data fit the theoretical distribution? In complete sentences, explain why or why not.
Suppose that the experiment had been repeated 500 times. Would you expect
[link] or
[link] to change, and how would it change? Why? Why wouldn’t the other table change?
