Theoretical v experimental probability

Hello colleagues

I have created this little activity to help high school students visualise the difference between theoretical and experimental probability.

Any and all feedback is very welcome, especially on ways to use fewer variables for the graphs in the second last slide. Basically, the problem is that I haven’t found a way to use CL to alter one value in a matrix / array / list (e.g. u=[2,4,6,7])

With thanks for your time and expertise

I modified Slide 2 to use a list and Slide 3 to use that List:

I had fun transforming the graph to use a list … :slight_smile:

OK, that’s cool. Frankly, I have very little idea yet what you’ve done as I don’t know most of that syntax, but I’ll spend some time pulling it apart.

Thank you for your time on this.

BTW - do you know if any of this stuff is documented anywhere (for loops etc)?

If you’re asking about lists there’s this doc:

but if you have more specific question I’ll be happy to answer.

I replicated what you did for every single dice but applying the same ideas to a list.
The command:
L_{sub}(L, i, v)
substitutes the i-th value of the list L with the new value v.
