High School Football Race to the Finales-Task
Standard 7.SP.6
Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.

It is Fall time and what does that mean, high school football. There are 11 teams in your region each of them are equal matches to one another. It really is the luck of the
For the high school football race to the finales you will need two dice. Each time you roll the dice, note the sum in the relevant column below by coloring in the box. For example, a roll of 4 and 2 means you will color in one box in column 6, a roll of 1 and 6 means you will color in one box in column 7. Do this 30 times.
