Egg roulette
This video shows two teachers playing a game of Egg roulette, taking it turns to smash eggs on their heads. The problem is three are raw and the remainder are cooked. This is a fun demonstration of a game of chance without replacement. This video relates to the Year 9 Probability lesson: Egg roulette: Part 1 whereby students use probabilistic reasoning to assign probabilities and solve conditional probability problems using two tables.
