7.SP.6

Collect data from a chance process (probability experiment). Approximate the probability by observing its long-run relative frequency. Recognize that as the number of trials increase, the experimental probability approaches the theoretical probability. Conversely, predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.

Example Problems
Ramkin is going to flip a fair coin 1,200 times.
What is the best prediction for the number of times that the coin will land heads up?
Elizabeth is going to flip a fair coin 100 times.
What is the best prediction for the number of times that the coin will land tails up?
Shun is going to flip a fair coin 450 times.
Based on the
probability, approximately how many times will the coin land tails up?
