| It is expected that students will:
|
|
distinguish between the experimental and theoretical probability of single events
|
 |
You have a die with numbers from 1‚ 6. What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 6, a 4, or a 1? Perform an experiment with a die, then compare the results.
|
|
using various polyhedrons as dice, identify the relationship between the number of faces and the probability of a single event
calculate theoretical probability using numbers between 0 and 1
|
|
Draw and label the net of a die to match each
statement:
- the probability of rolling an odd number is 5/6
- the chance of rolling a prime number is 0/4
- the likelihood of rolling a multiple of two is 5/8
|
|
|
demonstrate that different outcomes may occur when the same experiment is repeated
|
|
Toss a styrofoam cup onto a flat surface. Repeat several times, noting how often it lands in each position. Repeat for 40 tosses.
- How many times did the cup land on its side? Top? Bottom?
- How would you express each way as a probability? Side? Top? Bottom?
Based on the results of this experiment, predict how many times the cup would land on its top if you tossed it 100 times.
|
|
|
compare experimental results with theoretical results
