Happy Meal
How much would it cost to get all the toys in a Happy Meal?
Students use trials, probabilities, and expected value to determine how many meals it takes to get a complete set of Happy Meal toys and debate whether McDonald’s should allow customers to pay a fee to choose their own figurine.
Students will
- Create frequency distribution from experimental data and interpret the results
- Use theoretical and experimental probability to reason about real-world decisions
- Calculate expected value and use it to evaluate decisions in a real-world context
Before you begin
Students should be familiar with theoretical and experimental probabilities.Common Core Standards
