Walht: assign probabilities to simple events using fractions and percentages.

Today I was learning how to assign probabilities to a game played with two ten sided dice. I played with Harrison and we alternated rolling the dice. We did this 20 times. We recorded our score in the outcomes column and of the 20 attempts we were successful 6 times. So the probability is 6/20 as a simple fraction and 30% as a percentage. Since we did similar games this week I have a better understanding of probability. Next I ‘d like to play with three six sided dice.

I like reading your assigning probabilities using fractions and percentages. I did the same thing but I did multiples of 7. I was with Saimua and we only got 2/20. While you doing this was it easy or hard?
