Instructional Ideas
- Lead a discussion to ensure the class understands the difference between the probability of an outcome and the probability of an event
- Provide several opportunities for individuals to calculate theoretical probabilities and compare them to experimental probabilities
Classroom Considerations
- Class members need to know how to determine the experimental probability of an event
- The fourth in a 25-part series
Pros
- Contains an exit ticket to check for understanding
- The answer key contains the simplified and unsimplified fractions for the probabilities
Cons
- None
