What's in the bag? A Probability game
Probability is estimating and chances.
For example, if I had a bag and inside where 4 blue marbles and 2 red marbles, it is more likely for me to get a blue marble than a red marble. That is because there are more blue marbles than red ones.
How to play the game of chance.
What you will need to play the game:
A bag or container
Lego or counters.
How to play:
In the bag put 2 Pink Lego bricks, 2 Blue Lego bricks and 2 Yellow Lego bricks.
Mix it together.
Next estimate what colour you think you will draw out first.
Repeat 6 times.
What was the highest percentage and what was the lowest percentage of bricks removed from the bag.
Here is my What's in the bag?
I put in 2 orange Lego bricks
2 green Lego bricks and 2 yellow Lego bricks
It is a one third chance for me to pull out one of the three colours.
First I thought I was going to get green but I got orange.
Next I thought yellow but I got orange.
Then I thought green and got yellow.
I then thought green and got green.
I Thought orange but got green.
Next I thought orange and got orange.
As you can see I pulled out 3 orange 2 green and 1 yellow.
On drawing these out half come out orange one third come out green and one sixth was yellow.
Here is my graph
hi i think that was a very nice blog post I loved the graph
ReplyDeleteHi Amelia, this is a great explanation about how you played the game. I really like the graph that you have made to show your results. Keep up the great blogs.
ReplyDeleteHi Amelia,
ReplyDeleteFantastic blog on the probability game! I liked how you actually used an object rather than a piece of paper with colour names on it, probably made it a bit more fun. You could also play this game with another person. I noticed some of the text has extended to the edge of the screen you can fix this by doing Ctrl Shift V. Do you know any other probability games?
