Brief overview
Duration: from 3 hours
Contents: handling data, two-stage random experiments, classification
Previous knowledge: relative and absolute frequencies, conditional probabilities, two-stage random experiments
Target group: Mathematics courses from grade 10
Created by: Jonathan Kantz, Stephanie Hofmann
Registration: Appointments can be made individually using this form.
Who doesn't know it: The mailbox is full of spam messages of all kinds. These unwanted mails can be filtered automatically with the help of mathematics. For this purpose the incoming mails are sorted into two different classes Spam and Ham. In the workshop we will get to know and use Bayes' theorem to create a spam filter together and test it with real mails.
Prior knowledge
The following mathematical contents are required as prior knowledge for the processing of the learning material:
- relative and absolute frequencies
- conditional probabilities
- two-stage random experiments
All further mathematical contents are introduced problem-oriented in the learning material.
Material
The interactive learning material can be accessed via the online platform workshops.cammp.online. How to create an account on the platform and use the
material is explained in this video. In addition, accompanying material is provided for teachers on the online platform, which can be accessed via a password that can be requested by e-mail.
