1. What is the probability of rolling a
5?
Answer: 5/16
2. Is this what you expected?
3. Does the table provide information about
experimental or theoretical probability?
Justify.
5. Component 2: Lesson Plan Purpose/
Intention
Time: 3 mins
In this section, we compare experimental probability
and theoretical probability
Experimental probability is the probability of an event
occurring based on experimental results.
6. Component 3: Lesson Language
Practice
Time: 5 mins
Read the following:
Theoretical- the number of favorable outcomes
divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
Experimental- describes how frequently an event
actually occurred in an experiment

there be if Jessie rolled a 6-sided die and tossed 2
coins at the same time?
