0:00:01.007,0:00:15.583 Two six sided dice are rolled one-thousand times, and the sums of the two dice are recorded. For example, if an 3 and a 4 are rolled, a sum of seven is recorded...sounds reasonable. 0:00:15.768,0:00:23.809 The results are in the table below. Based on this data, estimate the probability of getting a sum of seven the next time two dice are rolled. 0:00:23.886,0:00:36.204 So, we had a thousand rolls, and of the thousand rolls, how many times did we get a seven? Well, we got a seven 175 out of a thousand times! 0:00:36.327,0:00:47.408 So, 175 over 1000 seems like a pretty good estimate for the probability of getting a sum of seven the next time two dice are rolled. 0:00:47.562,0:00:57.999 So, 175/1000 , if we want to write it as a decimal, that would be one hundred and seventy-five thousandths, so we could write it as 0.175. 0:00:57.999,0:00:58.000
