Probability - Experimental and Theoretical
Key Stage: 3 ★★★
How likely are the two blue marbles in this bag to end up touching? Does the simulation agree with your answer?
This problem offers an opportunity to explore and discuss two types of probability: experimental and theoretical. The simulation generates lots of experimental data quickly, freeing time to focus on predictions, analysis and justifications.
This resource has comprehensive teachers' notes and resources, linked from the problem page. This includes possible approaches and key questions, as well as possible support and extensions.
