In our class data, which outcomes are least likely?
Which outcomes are most likely?
Compare this to your small group data. Is it the

Wrap-up for Part A

Ask students:
Which scores on a single toss are
equally likely (have the same probability)?
♦
Have students list the ways to get a sum of 1.

Assessment Suggestion for Part A
Have students record in their journals how they
determined which outcomes were most or least likely to
occur.
Activity
—
Part B (for Advanced Classes)
Have students perform the steps unless otherwise
indicated.
1.
Discuss the difference between the probabilities that
were gathered (
experimental
probabilities) and the
probabilities that should have happened (
theoretical
probabilities).
2.
Use the tree diagram on the activity sheet to find the
expected (theoretical) probabilities and record them
on the activity sheet.
