• 2 recording and ordering the outcomes of experiments using different physical or virtual random generators such as coins, dice and a variety of spinners, and discussing how AI systems use random generators to train algorithms
• 3 experimenting with tossing \(2\) coins at the same time, recording and commenting on the chance of outcomes after a number of tosses
• 4 shuffling a set of cards, drawing a card at random, and recording whether it was a spade, club, diamond or heart, picture card or numbered; repeating the experiment a number of times and discussing the results
