Are You Feeling Lucky?

Synopsis

DVD containing two separate talks on the subject of statistics, probability and fractals, aimed at GCSE pupils, aged 13 - 17.

in HOW IMPROBABLE IS THAT? Matt Parker investigates the Lottery, coin and dice games and some remarkable everyday coincidences and reveals that probability - and improbability - is everywhere.

IN LUCK OR FATE: SURPRISES OR RANDOMNESS, Ben Sparks explores the way in which the random rolls of a dice can lead to patterns that are far from random, including some illustrations of the beauty of fractals.
