After completing this web quest some final questions should be answered. Learners will have discovered there is a clear linkage between math and real life situations. After several practice drills, they will understand that there is a difference between theoretical and experimental probabilities.
When all possible outcomes are equally likely this is considered to be theoretical probability. Probability based on data collected from repeated trials is experimental probability. These two probabilities can be different on a limited number of trials. However after you conduct your experiment a large number of trials your experimental probability will approach your theoretical probability.
From the Probability Fair game you were able to notice that the more and more you conducted each trial the smaller the probability of having a high winning ratio, that�s because each time you played your choice would lead to a theoretical outcome.
