Abstract | The ubiquitous change jar (or any other container) is the focus of this investigation. Using random pocket change, a distribution is determined and statistical tools are employed to calculate the value of given volumes of coins. This brief investigation begins by considering money, which piques the interest of most students, and uses this foundation to carry them into increasingly deeper mathematical and statistical investigations. Real world scenarios and teaching tips are provided throughout. (As Provided). |
