If the sum of the numbers rolled is a prime number, Player A scores a point. If the sum of the numbers rolled is a composite number, Player B scores a point. The first player to score 20 points wins. Who do you predict is more likely to win? Why? Play the game with a partner. Decide who will be Player A and Player B. Record your results in a tally chart. Student AStudent B PrimeComposite

Who do you predict is more likely to win? Why? I think the student rolling composite will win because when rolling 2 dice (#’s 2-12), there are only 5 numbers that add to prime and 7 numbers add to composite. Play the game with a partner.

To win a prize on the first wheel, the pointer must land on a star. To win a prize on the second wheel, the pointer must land on a happy face. Which wheel would you choose to spin? Use words and numbers to explain your answer. P(Star) = 2/8 = ¼ P(Happy Face) = 1/5 So, which is higher ¼ or 1/5 ? The STAR wins because ¼ is larger than 1/5.
