Inconsistencies in Students' Reasoning about Probability.

Konold, Clifford; And Others

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v24 n5 p392-414 Nov 1993

Examined inconsistencies in secondary school students' reasoning about the probability concept of equally likely events. Results of two studies suggest that the number of students who understand the concept of independence is much lower than the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress results indicate.
