About this worksheet

Chance from experiments, and predicting from it. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can turn a tally into an estimated chance: tally ÷ all the trials, as a fraction, a decimal or a percent (rounded when it does not end).
  • I can use that chance to predict about how many will happen in more trials, and I know more trials give a better guess.
  • I can build a chance model from tallies when the outcomes are not equally likely, and the chances add to 1.

Standard: 7.SP.C.6, 7.SP.C.7b

Words to know

trial: One try of the experiment, like one flip of a bottle.

tally: The count of how many trials gave each outcome.

relative frequency: Tally ÷ all the trials. It estimates the chance.

experimental probability: The chance worked out from an experiment, not from equal outcomes.

prediction: About how many to expect in more trials: new trials × the relative frequency.

probability model: A list of every outcome with its chance. The chances add to 1.

Common mistakes

Your child counted the rows of the tally table, not the trials in them.

Your child added only some of the rows of the tally.

Your child compared the trials that matched with the ones that did not, instead of with all the trials.

What to say

Ask: what does each tally mark stand for?

Ask: does every row count as trials?

Ask: out of how many trials in all?
