Roll a die 30 times and record the number you obtain each time. Prepare a frequency distribution table using tally marks. Find the number that appeared:
The minimum number of times.
The number that appeared the minimum number of times will vary based on the experiment. Students should identify the number with the lowest frequency count from their frequency table.
The maximum number of times.
The number that appeared the maximum number of times will vary based on the experiment. Students should identify the number with the highest frequency count from their frequency table.
Find numbers that appeared an equal number of times.
Numbers that appeared an equal number of times can be identified by comparing frequencies in the table. There may be zero, one, or multiple pairs of numbers with equal frequencies depending on the experimental results.
Explanation
(a) Students analyze their collected data to find the minimum frequency. (b) Students analyze their collected data to find the maximum frequency. (c) This develops skills in comparing frequencies and identifying equal values in a dataset.
