Approximately how often do you think you would win if you completed $100$ throws?
Make a prediction and then check it by doing the experiment.

You should have won approximately half of the time. Can you explain why?

Now change the number of discs to $3$.
You win if all the discs show the same colour.

What is the probability of winning this time? Can you explain why?

What is the probability of winning with $4$ discs? Can you explain why?

Repeat for $5$ discs.

Do you notice a pattern in your results? Can you explain it?

Can you explain how to find the probability of winning for $n$ discs?
