THEORETICAL PROBABILITY ACTIVITY
Theoretical probability is just that…a theory. It’s what is expected to happen, yet as we
all know in life, the expected does not always happen. Today’s activity will begin to test
theoretical activity.

What is the chance of each of the following happening? Imagine the die were rolled 100
times, what would be the chance out of 100 if this theoretical probability prediction were
to remain the same.

The Test
Now let’s test it. Your job will be to roll the die exactly 100 times and record how many
times each number is rolled. To do this you will want to make a tally table. Keep careful
