Find the probability of simple events

Probability

Probability• How likely it is that an event will occur• Zero probability is that something is sure NOT to

happen• Probability of 1 means that something is sure to

happen• Insurance companies use it to predict the

likelihood that you will get into a car accident, burn your house down, etc. and decide if they want to insure you

1. Theoretical Probability

Brandon rolls a die 24 times. How many times can he expect to land on a six?

Because 1/6 is his THEORETICAL PROBABILITY

Because the theoretical probability is 1/5

Suzie spins the spinner 72 times. How many times can she expect to land on red?

a. 18

b. 10

c. 288

d. 1/4

Probability after a given number of experiments

2. Experimental Probability

Example: Theoretical probability of getting a heads

is always ½

Paisley flipped a coin 114 times. How many times can you expect her to get heads?

Paisley’s Experiment:H: 65 T: 49

Experimental Probability:

Brandon rolls a die 24 times. How many times can he expect to land on a six?

Because 1/6 is his THEORETICAL PROBABILITY

When he does roll his results are as follows:

Find the probability of independent and dependent events

Independent • Independent event-the first outcome does

not affect the outcome of the second event– On a number cube, the outcome of rolling a 4

is not impacted by the outcome of spinning a green on a spinner

Independent or Dependent?P(spinning green, then yellow)

P(spinning yellow twice in a row)

Independent or Dependent?P(green, then red) if the first is replaced

P(green, then red) if the first is not replaced

P(green, then green) if the first is replaced

P(green, then green) if the first is not replaced

Independent or Dependent?

There is a bag of 3 red marbles, 6 blue marbles, and 5 white marbles. What is the probability of drawing out a white marble and then a red marble without replacement?

homework

• When you see:

P (green, 3)

It means what is the Probability of spinning a green, then rolling a 3

Tree Diagram explains the shortcut

Spinning a red is 1/5, then to spin an orange is another 1/5

So it is a 1/25 chance to spin a red, then orange

SHORTCUT – multiply the 2 fractions1/5 x 1/5 = 1/25
