We have adapted most of our questions from a quiz used in a 1997 research study conducted by Efraim Fischbein and Ditza Schnarch.  You will be led through a series of nine questions, receiving immediate feedback after each question. For each question, we have presented an explanation of the possible probability misconception and a lesson plan or activity to go along with the probability concept.
