Main Concepts
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is probability? If you had a six-sided die, what is the chance that you would roll a 3? Can you give a few examples in everyday life that involve probability? Can you define theoretical, compound and experimental probability?
After the Game
Why did you need to throw two dice to figure out compound probability? How does experimental probability differ from theoretical probability? If you spin a wheel with 8 possible outcomes, and 2 of them are yellow and the other 6 are green, what is the chance that you land on a green space? Did the theoretical and the experimental probabilities always match as you experimented in the game? If not, how could you have altered the experimental procedures to get a better match?
