Question

If you were to design a video game to teach students about probability, what would it be like?

Answer 10

or what you had in mind

Answer 11

Well I was gonna do something like a single button that does something. Have a score that counts the amount of right answers. +1 for a right answer -1 for a wrong answer. But doesn't really work.

Answer 12

so it's like a multiple choice test?

Answer 13

As long as it shows how to use probability in the game it's fine does that show it?

Answer 14

yeah I guess so if the person is randomly guessing

Answer 15

if you had 4 possible choices, and only one right answer, then the chances of getting it right (assuming a random guess) is 1/4 or 0.25
