Maths - Probability!

Hello, today I will be sharing with you some maths that I have been doing this week. My group was working on probability in maths. Probability is about the chance of something happening or not happening.

My LO this week was, we can complete a mathematical investigation.

The steps I had to take was commitment, resilience and achievement. I had to commit to my work and give it my all. I had to never give up on myself and have a growth mindset and I had to achieve my work to a year 8 quality standard.

One of the experiments I have done was to draw a chart on my maths book and roll a dice 18 times. Then, I had to write down the number that was on the dice in the chart.

1 - 1
2 - 4
3 - 3
4 - 3
5 - 3
6 - 2
7 - 3
8 - 3
9 - 6
10 - 2
11 - 5
12 - 1
13 - 3
14 - 5
15 - 5
16 - 5
17 - 2
18 - 4

After that, I had to draw a tally chart in my maths book and to complete the tally chart I had to tally up how many times did each number get when it was rolled on the dice. I also had to put down the total of each number.

1 - // - 2
2 - /// - 3
3 - //// / - 6
4 - // - 2
5 - //// - 4
6 - / - 1

The evidence shows that, the most rolled number was 3. The least rolled number was 6. 6 was rolled once. The most rolled number to the least rolled number was: 3, 5, 2, 1, 4, 6.

If I have done the experiment again I probably wouldn't get the same results then I did on this one. Why I think that is because, there are 6 numbers on the dice so whenever you roll it would come up with a random number then the same numbers that it had on this one.

I hope you liked my blog post and I also hope you have learned something today!
