Fun Probability Experiments at Home

1. Coin Tossing:

• Start by tossing a coin 50 times.
• Write down how many times it lands on heads and how many times it lands on tails.
• To find the experimental probability of getting heads, use this formula: $P(\text{Heads}) = \frac{\text{Number of Heads}}{50}$

2. Dice Rolling:

• Roll a six-sided die 30 times.
• Count how many times each number shows up.
• To find the probability for a specific number, like 3, use this formula: $P(3) = \frac{\text{Number of Threes}}{30}$

3. Spinner Activity:

• Make a spinner and divide it into equal sections (like different colors).
• Spin the spinner 40 times and write down what you get each time.
• To find the probability for each color, use this formula: $P(\text{Color}) = \frac{\text{Number of times Color appears}}{40}$

By doing these fun experiments, you can see how your results compare to what you would expect. This is a great way to learn about experimental probability in a hands-on way!
