probability : 8/20 Percentage: 40%
Walht: assign probabilities to simple events using fractions and percentages.


Today I was learning to assign probabilities to a game played with 2 10 sided dice. I played with my friend Sami We alternated rolling the dice. We did this 20 times. We recorded our score in the outcomes column. Of the 20 attempts we were successful 8 times So the probability is 8/20 as a simple fraction and 40% as a percentage. Since  we did similar games this week. Now I have a better understanding of probability.

It's good to know that you know have a better understanding of probability. Nataliya and I also played this game and we got 14/20. What would you like to learn next and why?

Bonjour Zain,

I find your paragraph pleasing and think that you're pretty lucky to get 8 out of 20. I as well made a post about my probability maths activity but, I had to find out whether my outcome was a prime number. What would you like to learn next?
