Please help 100 points. i need to finish this like in 20 min Assignment: The Law of Large Numbers Investigation Mrs. Hudson has made another assignment that Karen and Dakota are excited to try. To conduct your own experiment, you will need dice and a place to record your results. In this assignment, you will first calculate the theoretical probability for rolling a sum of 7. Then, you will roll the dice and add the numbers shown, recording your results as you go. Calculate the experimental probability for rolling a 7 after the 1st, 10th, and 100th rolls. Compare these results with the theoretical probability of rolling a sum of 7. How does this comparison change as the number of trials increase? 1. List out the sample space for the experiment and then calculate the theoretical probability. _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ 2. Roll the dice. Record your results in the table. Calculate the experimental probability for rolling a sum of 7 after the 1st, 10th, and 100th rolls. Experimental Probability after Roll #1: ___________________________ How does the experimental probability compare to the theoretical probability after 1 roll? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ Experimental Probability after Roll #10: __________________________ How does the experimental probability compare to the theoretical probability after 10 rolls? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ Experimental Probability after Roll #100: _________________________ How does the experimental probability compare to the theoretical probability after 100 rolls? _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ Tally your results in the table. Sum Results 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Analyze your findings. 3. Compare the results with the theoretical probability of rolling a sum of 7. How does this comparison change as the number of trials increase? Use four of your vocabulary words in your explanation. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

The experimental probability is what you actually rolled

24/60 = 2/5 = 40%

The theoretical probability is what we expect to happen

=number of even numbers / total number of numbers

3/6 = 1/2 = 50%
