📊 Part 2: Recording and Comparing Results

5. Your group rolled a dice 20 times. Here are your results:
Number 1: 4 times | Number 2: 2 times | Number 3: 5 times
Number 4: 3 times | Number 5: 4 times | Number 6: 2 times
Which number appeared most often?

Answer: _____________

6. Based on the results above, explain why some numbers appeared more often than others even though all numbers are equally likely:

7. If you spun a spinner 20 times and got these results for an equal-section spinner:
Red: 8 times | Blue: 6 times | Green: 4 times | Yellow: 2 times
Predict what might happen if you spun it 100 more times:

8. True or False: If you roll a dice and get a 3, the next roll is more likely to be a different number.
