When rolling a die there are six possible outcomes: rolling a one, two, three, four, five or rolling a six. When rolling for a one, there is one chance out of six to get a one. When rolling for a two, again there is one chance out of six to get a two. The same follows for each of the numbers on the face of a die. Jennifer listed the outcomes in a chart and the probability of each outcome based on six total possible outcomes.


3)

Now test the theory against actual tosses. Toss the die 60 times. Click here to print out the chart and keep a tally of the actual outcomes. Write the final tally as a fraction over 60. Reduce when possible. Answer Questions #3 through #11. State each of the events and the tally and fraction.
