Experimental Probability We are learning to…calculate the experimental probability of an event happening. Monday, November 30, 2015
Experimental Probability Probability – A number from 0 to 1 that tells how likely an event is to happen. “What numbers are between 0 and 1?” Probability is usually shown as a fraction in simplest form. The fraction will be in the form: Experimental Probability – The chances of an event happening that is calculated using the results of an experiment.

Experimental Probability Activity #2 Directions: With your group members roll 2 number cubes (at the same time) a total of 30 times. After each roll find the sum of the two number cubes. Place a tally in the table below in the appropriate column. After tallying 30 rolls write the total, as a number, that each sum occurred. Add your results together and find the number of “total rolls” to make sure you rolled the number cubes a total of 30 times. Next find the experimental probability of rolling each sum with a pair of number cubes. Finally, answer the critical thinking questions below in complete sentences.
