Figure This!
With Your Family

Toss a thumbtack into the air 200 times and record how it lands, point up or point down. Use your results to estimate the probability that a thumbtack will land with its point up.

Look at the test scores you presently have in one of your classes and the grade scale for your school. Determine if it is possible to have a B average in the class after your next test.
