An attempt was made to demonstrate positive transfer of probability concepts from tasks in a mathematics classroom setting to similar tasks presented outside of the mathematics classroom. The results indicated that learning occurred as a result of classroom instruction. However, there was no evidence of transfer of the probability concepts.
