Prizes in Cereal Boxes: An Application of Probability.

Peer reviewed

Litwiller, Bonnie H.; Duncan, David R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992

Presents four cases of real-world probabilistic situations to promote more effective teaching of probability. Calculates the probability of obtaining six of six different prizes successively in six, seven, eight, and nine boxes of cereal, generalizes the problem to n boxes of cereal, and offers suggestions to extend the problem.
