Experimental probability = (# of games won)/(Total # of games played) Obviously, experimental probability is computed after all the data is collected. Here is the example of the game statistics. Anton played with a spinner that had 3 equal sections and won if the spinner stopped at Section 1 or 2, Bella played with a ten-sided die and won if the die rolled 2, 4, 6 or 8 up, and Cindy played with a coin and won if it fell heads up. Students planned to play fifty games. They tallied the results of every game and then counted their victories:
The players concluded that Anton had the best chances of winning, followed by Cindy and then Bella. |
