Dice and Probability

Experimental probability is the fraction of times an event actually occurs and theoretical probability is the fraction of times we would expect an event to occur. I did not know these terms until after I read the article. The article shown me that there are so many ways to approach probability. It gave me an idea of using the line chart as an assessment of understanding probability. The number cube game gave me an idea of teaching probability by playing Yahtzee

Donnelly begins his presentation with a thought experiment involving the tossing of a coin and predicts the possibility of a certain series of results. When predicting the possibility of heads, tails, heads (HTH) or heads, tails, tails (HTT), I, like most of the audience, believed that the chance of either possibility was equal. However, I did not take into account the possibility of overlap and how HTH was more like to be achieved in an overlap. I also did not catch that the HTH could appear in clumps because of the overlapping (the third "H" in HTH is also the first "H" in the next HTH). There was also the

Question #1 is worth 5 points – all others are worth 1 point each. Either type your answers directly onto THIS sheet OR create a new file and number your answers 1, 2, 3, etc.

Dice Throw, while it can be calculated using math to project the probability of getting a particular number.

Example: Patrick flipped a number cube 40 times. A 5 appeared 10 times. The experimental probability of rolling a 5 is 10 out of 40 or 25%
