Bean Experimental and Theoretical Probability
Name: _________________________ Date:_________________ Period:__________
Directions: At this station you are going to find the theoretical and experimental probability of three different types of beans. In the center of the table you will see little cups filled with beans. Please select a cup from the center of the table. Without looking please select a bean from the cup and record your result on the table. Then replace the bean just pulled and without looking select another bean. Repeat this process until you have experimentally pulled 15 beans (making sure to replace the bean every time) and record your results on the table. After completing the 15 pulls please answer the following questions found below the table regarding your findings.
Bean Color | Results |
Black | |
White | |
Brown | |

What is the experimental probability of selecting a black or white bean?

What is the theoretical probability of selecting a brown bean?

What is the theoretical probability of selecting a brown or white bean?

What is the experimental probability of not selecting a white bean?

What is the experimental probability of selecting a white, brown or black bean?

Coin Experimental and Theoretical Probability
Name: _________________________ Date:_________________ Period:__________
Directions: At this station you are going to find the theoretical and experimental probability of tossing a coin. You are to select and then toss 1 coin on the table 15 times individually. Please record your results in the following table and then answer the questions regarding your findings.
