How many different possibilities are there when rolling 2 six-sided number cubes? 3. Complete the addition chart. List all of the theoretical probabilities that can occur when rolling two dice and record below Using the chart above, write the theoretical probability as a fraction and then as a percent for each number. Probability Fraction Percent Probability Fraction Percent P(1) P(7) P(2) P(3) P(4) P(5) P(6) P(8) P(9) P(10) P(11) P(12) 9

10 5. Is there an equally likely chance for each number to result from rolling 2 six-sided number cubes according to the theoretical probabilities? 6. If the number cubes are tossed 180 times, how many times do you predict the following sums would occur? Outcome Theoretical Probability Prediction / Prime Number Composite Number 7. Throw a pair of dice 50 times. Add the two dice and record with tally marks below to find the experimental probability. Then find the fraction & percent out of the 50 rolls. Sum # of rolls Fraction Percent Sum # of rolls Fraction Percent Which sum is impossible? Which sum occurs most often? Which sum occurs least often? 10

Play the game 25 times with a partner. Decide who will be Player 1 and who will be Player 2. Record your results in the table using tally marks. Then, write your and your opponent s total score, and write the number of times the cup landed on its side. Calculate the fraction, percent and total points.
