Dmarches de rsolution et de simulation face au problme de la ruine d'un joueur (Simulation and Solving Procedures in the "Gambler's Ruin" Problem).

Probability theory can be developed from a theoretical or experimental probability approach. The problem, "The Gambler's Ruin," is used to study whether students are naturally sensitive to learning probability from an experimental probability approach through simulations. Results indicated that use of simulations can contribute to improvement to the initial understandings of probability. (MDH)
