The Sum of Rolling Two Number Cubes
Outcome
Experimental Probability
Theoretical Probability
Define experimental and theoretical probability in 2-3 complete sentences.
In mathematics there are two types of probability……..
Choose two or three different outcomes and compare the 2 probabilities.
The table above shows the experimental and theoretical probability of the sum when two number cubes
are rolled. The results for the experimental probability come from rolling two number cubes _______
times. For the outcome of _______, the probabilities for experimental is ____% and the probability for
theoretical is _____%. These probabilities are _____________. For the outcome of _______, the
probabilities for experimental is ____% and the probability for theoretical is _____%. These
probabilities are _____________. For the outcome of _______, the probabilities for experimental is
____% and the probability for theoretical is _____%. These probabilities are _____________.
Explain how frequency affects experimental probability.
One reason the experimental probability is different than the theoretical probability is due to …………..
