Use our interactivity to simulate picking up a bow and some arrows and trying to hit the target a few times. Can you work out the best settings for the sight? This activity gives an opportunity to gather and collate data, and to test hypotheses, and is designed to be accessible to younger secondary maths students (grades 5, 6, 7, and 8).

This video describes the process for finding the overall probability of drawing certain cards from a deck when the two events are independent, i.e., have no impact, on each other. In the example presented, one card is a queen and the other is less than seven, and their probabilities are used to calculate the probability of both happening. [5:53]
