Short task suitable for KS5 students, S1. This activity tests at a fairly basic level that students are happy with the mean and variance of the Poisson, Binomial and Normal distributions. A good way to fill a spare fifteen minutes.

I really like this. Will definitely be using it with my (AQA) S1 students once we've finished looking at Normal Distribution.
