Zusammenfassung:Within the limited field of research on teachers’probabilistic knowledge, incorrect, inconsistent and even inexplicable responses to probabilistic tasks are most often accounted for by utilizing theories, frameworks and modelsthatare based upon heuristic and informal reasoning. More recently, the emergence of new research based upon logical fallacies has been provingeffective in explainingcertain normatively incorrect responses to probabilistic tasks. This article contributes to this emerging area of research by demonstrating how a particular logicalfallacy, known as “an appeal to ignorance,”can be used to account for a specific set of normatively incorrect responsesprovided by prospective elementary and secondary mathematics teachersto a new probabilistic task.It is further suggested that afocus on the classical approach to teaching theoretical probability contributes to the use of this particular logical fallacy. e Dans le domaine limité de la recherche sur la connaissance des enseignants au sujet de la probabilité, des réponses incorrectes, inconsistantes et même inexplicables à des tâches probabilistes sont le plus souvent expliqués par le raisonnement heuristique et informel. Plus récemment, de nouvelles recherches basées sur les erreurs logiques se montrent efficaces pour expliquer certaines réponses incorrectes à des tâches probabilistes. Cet article contribue dans ce domaine de recherche émergente en démontrant comment une certaine erreur logique, connue sous le nom d’« appel à l’ignorance, » peut être utilisée pour expliquer un ensemble spécifique de réponses incorrectes fournies par de futurs enseignants du primaire et du secondaire à une nouvelle tâche probabiliste. On suggère aussi que l’accent mis sur l’approche classique d’enseigner la probabilité théorique contribuerait à l’emploi de cette erreur logique. No limitado campo de investigação sobre o conhecimento probabilístico dos professores, as respostas incorretas, inconsistentes e até mesmo inexplicáveis às tarefas probabilísticas são mais frequentemente explicadas pela utilização de teorias, estruturas e modelos baseados no raciocínio heurístico e informal. Mais recentemente, o surgimento de nova investigação baseada em falácias lógicas tem-se mostrado eficaz para explicar certas respostas normativamente incorretas a tarefas probabilísticas. Este artigo contribui para essa área emergente de investigação, demonstrando como uma falácia lógica particular, conhecida como "um apelo à ignorância
