    By Mehdi Hakim-Hashemi

    Normandale Community College, Bloomington MN USA

    In this project students learn to derive the probability density function (pdf) of the Poisson distribution and the cumulative distribution (cdf) of the waiting time. They will use them to solve...

  6. A brief review of basic probability theory

    10 May 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Winfried Just

    The spread of infectious diseases is inherently a stochastic process and the materials posted at this web site heavily rely on probability theory. Here we review some basic concepts of probability theory for easy reference. The material is restricted to notions that are used in teaching...

  10. Classical Genetics Simulator

    12 Jan 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Ben Adamczyk

    Students manage virtual fly populations to determine the mode of inheritance for various traits in different populations. Students seek solutions using probabilities and testing the validity of their assumptions using chi-squared analysis.
