1.3 Roll the Bones

TODAY'S AGENDA: We are practicing theoretical and experimental probability applications with dice.  
1) Go through the slideshow to get a little insight of the history of gaming stones and dice.
2) Complete pages 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 either using technology or real dice.
PROBABILITY: How likely something is to happen or not happen.    THEORETICAL PROBABILITY: Chance of something happening in a perfect world. If you toss a coin 10 times, it lands 5 times on HEADS and 5 times on TAILS in a perfect world.    EXPERIMENTAL PROBABILITY: Chance of something happening based on experimental results. If you toss a coin 10 times, it might land 4 times on HEADS and 6 times on TAILS.
Million dollar question
You are about to roll 2 dice to win a $1,000,000 prize. If you roll the sum (e.g. 5 with a combination of 1,4; 2,3; 4,1; 2,3) you bet, you are the WINNER. Which number do you think has the highest chance to win?
