A game involves conducting an experiment and gathering data to find the experimental probability of an event. What is a good first step for finding the experimental probability of an event?
Make a square to show an area model and then divide the sections in equal sections.
Determine the outcomes of the event and make a table to record results.
Multiply the probability of the first event and the probability of the second event.
Make a table to show results and divide the results in equal amounts according to the outcomes.
