Probability Scavenger Hunt (with a Finale about Activist Medgar Evers)

Students will love getting out of their seats to solve problems related to permutations and probabilities of independent and dependent events! The self-checking nature of this scavenger hunt makes it super-easy to run this activity and to tell if students understand the content. You don't have to do any work - just print the signs and hang them. The student solution sheet includes an interesting historical application related to Medgar Evers - students will determine the probability of his murderer ending up with an all-white jury! All data related to the Medgar Evers problem is factual. Perfect for a high school statistics class or even a pre-algebra/algebra class that has completed a thorough unit on independent and dependent probabilities.
