Theoretical probability

Fill out the table on the right with all the Stick #1 Stick #2 Stick #3 Stick #4 possible results from four sticks. The first S three results have been done for you. Every S S S line must be filled in. Down S S Note: Make your work easier by using a pattern. Some mathematicians use a "Tree Diagram" to make sure all the possibilities are found. If time allows, work on a separate sheet and draw the tree. Find the frequency of the combinations: All 4 up: 3 up and 1 down: 2 up and 2 down: 1 up and 3 down: All 4 down: Now find the theoretical probability of each combination: All 4 up: 3 up and 1 down: 2 up and 2 down: 1 up and 3 down: All 4 down
