Run this with a digital tool

This standard asks students to run repeated chance experiments and simulations with digital tools. Use ChalkBee's interactive probability simulator to run coin flips, die rolls, spinner spins or counter draws, from 10 up to 10,000 trials, and watch the relative frequency converge on the theoretical probability. It also has a conditional-probability mode for dependent events.

What students learn

Run repeated chance experiments and simulations with digital tools to estimate probabilities for compound events, and describe the results.

Worked example
A fair coin is flipped and a fair six-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of getting tails AND rolling a 5? Write your answer as a fraction.
Answer: 1/12
Why: P(tails) x P(rolling 5) = 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12
