Probability Games By Liana

Task Description: Today this morning team tui had played some fun games about probability. We learned about what probability was through fun games. Probability is basically the chances of something happening for instance is it more likely to land on tails then it is to land on heads while flipping a coin? No its not. In fact it’s more of a 50/50 chance because there are 2 sides and it could land on either. Probability is just making a prediction on what will happen. Here is a photo of everyone playing a game!
