Theoretical vs. Experimental Probability

Mathematics & Algebraic Reasoning

Your child can calculate the mathematical likelihood of an event occurring and compare it to real experimental sample tracking metrics.

In real life

Your child calculates that rolling a six should happen 1-in-6 times, then actually rolls the die 60 times on a rainy afternoon, tallies 13 sixes, and puzzles over why the experiment beat the theory.
