Coin values - pennies, nickels, and dimes

What you'll learn

• Calculate the theoretical probability of a simple event (e.g., rolling a specific number on a die, drawing a certain card from a deck) with at least 80% accuracy in classroom exercises.
• Explain the difference between theoretical and experimental probability, providing at least two distinct examples of each in a written response that demonstrates understanding of the core concepts.
• Solve multi-step problems involving theoretical probability, including scenarios with independent events (e.g., probability of flipping a coin twice and getting heads both times), achieving a minimum score of 70% on a problem-solving quiz.
• Apply the fundamental counting principle to determine the total number of possible outcomes in a sample space, enabling accurate calculations of theoretical probability in complex scenarios with a success rate of 75% on related practice problems.
