Lead Speaker:
Erin N. Talley
Co-speakers:

You will learn how high school students learned probability by investigating teenage driving fatalities after a peer died in a car accident. They mastered standards and performed as well as students who learned through traditional probability tasks. Using data on teenage fatalities, we will derive the addition rule of probability.
