Explanation

• To begin this project we started out with 100
  chips.
• We put all the chips in the one cup, then we
  took the other cup and shook it.
• We spilled all the chips on the desk and took
  out all the yellow chips.
• Then, we repeated the process until we had no
  more red chips left.

Exploring the Concept
4
Scatter Plot
5
Drawing Conclusion

• The numbers on the scatter plot decrease as the
  number of tosses increase.
• Each time the cup is emptied, the number of chips
  you remove is about half of the number in the
  cup.
• Formula 100(1/2)x

6
Final Conclusion

• At zero tosses we had 100 chips. After one toss
  we had half of 100 and after two tosses we had
  half of a half of 100 ect.
