💠Think About...
1. If you flip a fair coin, what's the probability it will land on heads? How do you know?
2. Imagine a bag containing 3 red marbles, 2 blue marbles, and 5 green marbles. Without looking, if you pull out a marble at random, which color are you most likely to get? Least likely? Why?
3. Have you ever played a game that involves drawing cards or rolling dice? How did probability affect your strategy?
4. If you were designing a new card game, how would you decide what cards to include in the deck? What factors would you need to consider?
5. Can you think of real-life situations where people need to think about probability, besides games and sports? How might probability be used to make important decisions?
