In this practical task, students use a coloured spinner and record the frequency of colours occurring. They then use their findings to record the probability of each event and interpret these.
Students carry out an investigation to determine the frequency and percentage of different numbers resulting from 100 dice throws. They construct a table to record the results.
Students complete a table to show all the combinations, and work out the probability, of numbers possible on the top faces of two dice. They then use the table to list combinations that total 8 and 11.
Students complete a chart showing the possible combinations of numbers from two dice throws. They then list all combinations that add up to seven and nine.
Pairs of students play a game with four dice, calculate the probability of winning the game, comment on how to get a more accurate estimate of the probability, and explain whether the game is fair based on their results.
