Walht: assign probabilities to simple events using fractions and percentages.
Today I was learning to assign probabilities to a game played with 10 sided dice. I played with Siunipa. We alternated rolling the dice. We did this 20 times. We recorded our score in the outcomes column. Of the 20 attempts we were successful to get 4 out of 20 outcomes correct.  So the probability is ⅕ as a simple fraction and 20 as a percentage. Since  we did similar games this week I have a better understanding of probability. Next I ‘d like to play possibilities with a increased number of attempts to make it more difficult and challenging.

Hello Huntah,
I am really happy and glad that you now know how to assign probabilities. I also wrote a paragraph about how I have improved a lot to assign probabilities. How long do you think it would take to improve on higher and more challenging numbers?

Talofa lava Huntah,
I really enjoyed reading your paragraph about what you have learned. I have also learned to assign probabilities to simple events using fractions and percentages. My prediction was 2 and 3. What did you enjoy about doing this activity?
