Compare Experimental and Theoretical Probability to Interpret Data

Once your learners can calculate experimental and theoretical probability, teach them how to compare their results with this video. Review the difference between each probability and how to set up the ratio from each event. Use the prior video in this series for more practice with setting up ratios if needed. This lesson uses a scenario involving throwing dice and the sum of the numbers shown. It then demonstrates how to calculate each probability and displays the ratios on a number line to see if the actual result is close to the predicted.
