Ms. Wood randomly selected letter tiles from a bag of letters containing E, L and A. Each time, she returns the letter tile to the bag. The results were as follow:
E - 5
L - 8
A - 7
If she continues the experiment for a total of 100 times, based on experimental probability, how many times should she expect to get the letter L?
What is 40?

What is 36?
A bag contains M&Ms of which 3 are green, 4 are red, 6 are orange, 2 are brown and 1 is blue. What is the probability that you randomly select an orange M&M, keep it, and then draw a blue M&M?
What is 1/40?
If I roll a dice 18 times, how many times should I expect to roll a 2 or 3?
What is 6?
The probability that two dice are rolled and the sum is 7 or more.
What is Likely?
Garrett selects a skittle from a bag and records the frequency of the colors that he randomly selects.
Green = 5
Red = 6
Yellow = 3
Purple = 4
Orange = 2
What is the experimental probability of selecting an orange?
What is 1/10?
Ten students are competing in the 400 meter race. How many ways can the runners finish first, second and third place?
What is 720?
A spinner has equal sections of blue, purple, red and yellow. What is the probability that you spin the spinner twice landing on blue then purple?
What is 1/16?
A bag contains 3 flavors of Jolly Ranchers: Grape, Watermelon and Sour Apple. Gracie repeatedly draws a piece of candy, replaces it and records the data:
Grape - 10
Sour Apple - 9
Watermelon - 6
Based on Gracie's experiment, predict the number of times she will select a watermelon jolly rancher is she repeats this 500 times.
What is 120?

What is 4/11?
You roll a dice and flip a coin. What is the probability that you roll a dice getting 4 or 5 and then flip a coin and it lands on heads?
What is 1/6?
How many times would you predict a dice to land on a multiple of 3 if you rolled it 144 times? (Hint: Multiples of 3 on a dice are 3 and 6)
What is 48?
Olivia answered 10 of the first 12 questions correct on a test. What is the experimental probability that she will NOT answer the next question correctly?
What is 1/6?

What is 3/91?
The letters of the alphabet were chosen at random from a bag of letter tiles. The letter A was chosen 6 times out of 30 pulls from the bag. How many times should the letter A be chosen if 3000 letters were chosen?
