Topic
Probability
Trial:
How many times a blue bowling pin can be hit down along with pulling a white
beads, there are fifteen bowling pins ; 5 blue bowling pins, 6 white beads, 4 yellow
bowling pins and fifty seven beads; 6 white beads, 9 red beads, 19 green beads, 12
blue beads.

Method of Collecting Data
The group members determined the 3 blue bowling pins that was knocked down
and 2 white beads that could be accumulated.
The thirty-five trail consists of knocking down blue bowling pin once and pulling
white beads. The thirty-five trials were conducted and recorded in the table below.
The contingency table is a table that tallies observations by multiple categorical
variables. The tables' rows and columns correspond to these categorical variables

Presentation of Data
The table below shows the number of coloured bowling pins that was knocked down by each
student. Each student made 5 trials.
Hence, there was a total of 35 trials made.
