Experimental probability worksheets with dice

What is on this worksheet

Students use a table of die rolls to write the theoretical and experimental probability and how many times to expect an outcome.

• Experiments: Dice only

You can change any of these settings above. Press "New problems" for a fresh set with the same settings, or pick Version A to Z to print different sheets for neighboring desks. The answer key always matches.

About experimental and theoretical probability

Each experiment shows a table of results. Students write the theoretical probability (what should happen if every outcome is equally likely), the experimental probability (what actually happened out of all the tries) and how many times they would expect an outcome.

The results are close to the expected numbers but never exactly equal for the outcome that is asked about, so the two probabilities always differ a little. Fractions are written in simplest form.
