Abstract
We propose mathematical activity to obtain statistical p robability by experiment. Students can connect probability and statistics by this activity. Furthermore, this activity makes students to think about conditions by which statistical probability converge to mathematical probability. Furthermore, with this activity, students can acquire the law of large numbers,and also notice the idea of statistical testing.
