Do You Like Vegetables?

Do You Like Vegetables? is a Grade 7 probability investigation that uses survey percentages to explore independent events. Students start with the percentages of children who say they like or dislike vegetables, then determine the probability that several randomly chosen children all give the same response. Repeating the same probability across multiple selections makes the multiplication rule for independent events concrete.

This whole-class activity works well when you want students predicting first, calculating second, and then comparing the result with what they expected. Follow-up questions extend the same context to different combinations of responses without introducing new materials.
