When you roll two dice, what is the most likely sum (addition of the two dice) to roll? How could you figure this out?
You will roll two dice 108 times. Each time, you will record the sum of the two dice. Afterward, we will put all the data from the whole class together and see what we can discover.
Record your data in this table:
In the "Tally" column, write a tally mark each time your dice add up to that sum.
After you've rolled 108 times (which means you should have 108 tally marks), you will count the number of tally marks in each box and write that total under "Frequency."
The sum of all the numbers in the "Frequency" column should be 108.
Here is some graph paper.
Calculate the probability of each possible sum. How do your answers compare to the people around you? Why might they be similar? Why might they be different?
