Championship Tennis as a Probabilistic Modelling Context.

Peer reviewed

Galbraith, Peter – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 1996

Suggests ways for using data from championship tennis as a means for exploring probabilistic models, especially binomial probability. Examples include the probability of winning a service point and the probability of winning a service game using data from tables and graphs. (AIM)

Teaching Elementary Probability and Statistics: Some Applications in Epidemiology.

Peer reviewed

Sahai, Hardeo; Reesal, Michael R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992

Illustrates some applications of elementary probability and statistics to epidemiology, the branch of medical science that attempts to discover associations between events, patterns, and the cause of disease in human populations. Uses real-life examples involving cancer's link to smoking and the AIDS virus. (MDH)
