Theoretical and Experimental Probability Lab
Learners compare coin, die, and spinner trials compared to theoretical probability.
Compare theoretical and experimental probability from trials.
Learners spin, toss, and roll during a class game, then compare expected chances with actual results.

A fair die is rolled 60 times. About how many sixes are expected theoretically?
- A die has 1 six out of 6 equally likely outcomes, so the theoretical probability is 1/6.
- Find 1/6 of 60: 60 ÷ 6 = 10 expected sixes.
