Original Prompt

Can you please create a student worksheet that contains this contentProbability Review Standards: 7.SP.C.7a & 7b Time: 30 minutes Objective Students compare theoretical and experimental probability. Bellringer (0–5 min) Probability of rolling 3 on fair die? Answer: 1/6 Hook (5–10 min) “If you flip a coin 10 times and get 7 heads, is it broken?” Short discussion. I DO (10–15 min) Theoretical = favorable / total Experimental = observed / trials Example: Coin flip 10 times → 7 heads Expe...

This learning resource explores the concepts of theoretical and experimental probability, guiding students to differentiate between the two through calculations and real-world examples. Students will learn key vocabulary related to probability, understand the formulas for both theoretical and experimental probability, and engage in activities to practice calculating probabilities using various scenarios, including coin flips and die rolls. The resource includes steps for guided practice, independent exercises, and reflection opportunities to assess understanding and application. Additionally, students will evaluate misconceptions in probability and explore how many trials may be necessary for experimental probability to approximate theoretical probability.
