Cornhole Project
My corn hole representing Ada Lovelace the first "computer programmer" and how she got the gears turning for computers and woman in the math.
Math Concepts
Probability
the extent to which something is probable; the likelihood of something happening or being the case.
Fundamental Counting Principle
if one event has m possible outcomes and a second independent event has n possible outcomes, then there are m x n total possible outcomes for the two events together.
Relative Area
calculation is trivial once the individual component's absolute areas have been calculated.
Permutations
a way, especially one of several possible variations, in which a set or number of things can be ordered or arranged.
Combinations
is a way of selecting items from a collection, such that the order of selection does not matter.
Three Diagramming
a diagram in which lines branch out from a central point or stem without forming any closed loops.
'e' and Logarithms
a famous irrational number, a quantity representing the power to which a fixed number (the base) must be raised to produce a given number.
The Law of Large Numbers
a principle of probability according to which the frequencies of events with the same likelihood of occurrence even out, given enough trials or instances.
Theoretical and Experimental Probability
is what we expect to happen, where experimental probability is what actually happens when we try it out.
