The first strategy, based on the list obtained through a table, involved all equiprobable events. As you saw, there were two different strategies to calculate the theoretical probability of each player winning the proposed game. Let's talk about the TED-Ed Lesson with the two castaways playing dice for the last banana. The Math Forum at Drexel and NRICH: Enriching Mathematics provide more ideas about this topic. Medical decisions, extreme weather events and batting averages are just three examples. Probability can be applied to real-life situations. Where can you apply probability in your everyday life?

For more probabilities fun, watch This Is Mathematics Episode 8. Find out more about probabilistic experiments like the rolling of two dice here. Examples using dice and coins are common in any probability or statistic lesson, not only because they are simple, but because they are also very powerful in describing a huge variety of important experiments.
