HANDS–ON ACTIVITY “ROLL ME”

Procedures:
a. Roll a die. What is the probability of getting a 3? 1/6
b. Do this activity
Roll a die 20 times. Record the number of times each number appears.

3 time(s) 3 time(s) 4 time(s)

_3 time(s) 4 time(s) 3 time(s)

c. Write the experimental probabilities of each event.

3/20 _____ 3/20 4/20

3/20 4/20 3/20

d. Compare the theoretical probability of the event of getting a 5 to its experimental

probability. Are they equal? No they’re not equal.

e. Roll a die 40 times. Record the number of times each number appears.

7 time(s) 7 time(s) 5 time(s)

10 time(s) 7 time(s) 4 time(s)

f. Write the experimental probabilities of each event.

7/40 7/40 5/40

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

 10/40 7/40 4/40

ACTIVITY 1
Directions: If the statement is true, write CORONA and if the statement is false, write VIRUS.

VIRUS 1. The experimental probability of an event is the same as its theoretical probability.

CORONA 2. The theoretical probability of getting a head when a coin is flipped is ½.

CORONA 3. The experimental probability of an event may vary with each experiment.

CORONA 4. The theoretical probability of an event is constant.

VIRUS 5. As an experiment is repeated more number of times, its experimental probability gets
closer to its theoretical probability.

Are the experimental probabilities closer to the theoretical probabilities? If you do the
experiment 100 times, do you expect the experimental probabilities to get
even closer to the theoretical probabilities? Why or why not? No, because
theoretical probabilities are always constant, but experimental
probabilities have no bases and it depends on the experiment.
ACTIVITY 2
Directions: Draw a tree diagram and list the possible outcomes for each event.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

Reflection
What statements can you make about yourself that are certain?
As of at this moment I can state that I am certainly faking how I really feel in front of the people
that always see me happy. Also, I certainly know that every night I get this kind of habit of
overthinking things and taking everything into heart. But I can also say that I am very strong and
I am determined to pass this school year with a smile on my face.
