First off, this topic being math related which is related to tech/math belongs here more than on the ot section, which is full of random posts about random things where as i have seen many math posts here before.
Anyways, ill keep this brief, in math my grade is meh and i can do an extra credit project based on something i learned this quarter, im going to do something on probability. I was thinking of finding some surveys taken at schools showing how many people use what operating systems (mobile and desktop) and finding the probability of a person being asked having both an ios device and windows desktop. (Which i would calculate), and thats just an example. Also i could compare it to my school (maybe just one grad class) and say if one survey asked 200 people and 78 people had that combo (random number) i could find about how many people in my class (around 430) would have that. Thats more algebra 1 concepts though, would need something having to do with say the p(A and/or B ) which is more or so what we did in that unit. Anyway i would need some surveys for data to use, or flat out a better idea, any suggestions? I could also do a survey here, ill find the data on my own, painfully on mobile. (My mobo is dead). Also note we did stuff on stats and statistical graphs but those are meh, and we did stuff on quadratic functions which i hate.
You could show that the probability of getting a particular result from a coin toss is actually not 50/50. You could do a number of samples with the coin starting both heads/tails up (like 500 each) and then prove that the difference from the expected values is statistically significant.

I'm not entirely sure how that would fit in with what i learned, in the probability unit we went over permutations, combinations, probability, and compound probability. Also i would need a real life example, that would be easy, like whats the chance if joe flips the coin 5 times, head up three times before flipping and tails up 2 times before flipping that x result will happen. I could also do something misic related, like if you have x songs in your music library and assuming each song is 10MB how many skng combos can you fit on a 8/16/32/64GB music player, or how many differet llaylists could you fit on
Also my current grade is around 78, we have one more homework grade and a notebook check, my P.1 grade was a 91, should i even worry about the extra credit project? My math teacher said this MP was harder than the others, sort of like Algebra 1, only meh grade was the second one and the others were fine.
tails has more detail, would assume its ever so slightly heavier
Those details are all in relief, they actually remove mass from that side of the coin, whereas the giant head is one solid piece of metal.
I guess I'm not really sure what you are calling a "project", most of the examples you gave are more like "problems" that can just be plugged into a calculator as part of homework. When you said project I was thinking about something a little more fun, like the Monty Hall problem or Boy or Girl paradox.
Gnerally its going to be a poster with information on it.
Ok, like an infographic. An interesting one in that case would be to compare the likelihood of dying in "popular" ways (shark attack, airplane crash, etc) to more mundane ways like falling vending machines or falling down the stairs.

Thanks ahead of time.
With a generic American quarter, at least.

It is skewed to whichever side begins face up, by about 1%.

Why be boring though?
