CyberPi: Normal Distributions (Gr. 9-10)

Python Coding: Beginner


Description

In this lesson, students will explore the concept and features of normal distributions through Python. By taking the dice roll probabilities as an example, students will create data charts to represent all the possible outcomes and visualize the distribution of all the results of the sum of the two dice. Students will also measure and investigate the spread of the data to gain an understanding of the normal distribution concept.

Objectives

  • Using lists in Python to store groups of values of the same data type
  • Modifying and extracting data from lists
  • Using the graphs (bar charts) capabilities of CyberPi to output data
