Stretching the brain
Create a tree diagram of the possibilities of rolling a number on 2 dice.
- What was the possibility of rolling a odd number?
- What was the possibility of rolling a even number?
- What is the possibility of rolling a 3?
- Test to see if your right.
3. Create a tree diagram of the possibilities of spinning a certain colour on a spinner.
- What is the possibility of spinning a yellow?
- What is the possibility of spinning a blue?
- Add 2 more sections to your spinner, has the probability of spinning a yellow changed?
- What is the possibility now of spinning a blue?
