Document Summary
Think of something that you might want to measure that is affected by random variation. Identify what you want to measure, then describe its (approximate) sample space. Give a rough description of the probabilities associated with those values (you can simply specify if they are all the same probability or if values in one range will be more likely than values in another range). As an example, if we throw a coin the estimate probability of the referred event would be of head or tail. Say 5 students each, tossed a coin repeatedly 50 times and recorded the numbers of tails. The results and calculations are cited as column below: Student no. of tails no. of tails/50 cum. no. of tails cum. number of trials. For column 3 (no. of tails/50) in the experimental probability of a tail for each student participate. In column 4 is the "running total" of tails. Column 5 is the "running total" of trials.
