Definitions
An experiment is a situation involving chance or probability that leads to results called outcomes
An outcome is the result of a single trial of an experiment
An event is one or more outcomes of an experiment
Probability is the measure of how likely an event is
![Page 3: PROBABILITY Definitions An experiment is a situation involving chance or probability that leads to results called outcomes An outcome is the result of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649f265503460f94c3df82/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Examples of Definitions:
A spinner has 4 equal sections colored yellow, blue, green, and red.What are the chances of landing on blue?
•The experiment is spinning the spinner
•The possible outcomes are landing on yellow, blue, red, or green
•One event of this experiment is landing on blue
•The probability of landing on blue is one-fourth

More on Probability Probability is a number from 0 to 1 that tells
you how likely something is to happen. Probability can be either theoretical or
experimental.
![Page 5: PROBABILITY Definitions An experiment is a situation involving chance or probability that leads to results called outcomes An outcome is the result of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649f265503460f94c3df82/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ProbabilityTHEORETICAL
Theoretical probability can be found without doing an experiment. When each event is equally likely to happen.
EXPERIMENTAL
Experimental probability is found by repeating an experiment and observing the outcomes.
![Page 6: PROBABILITY Definitions An experiment is a situation involving chance or probability that leads to results called outcomes An outcome is the result of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649f265503460f94c3df82/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Theoretical Probability
The probability of an event (A) is the number of ways event (A) can occur divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
P(A) =The number of outcomes where A can occur The total number of possible outcomes
So, using the spinner experiment, what is the probability of landing on blue?
P(blue) = 1 4

THEORETICAL PROBABILITY
I have a quarterMy quarter has a heads side and a tails side
Since my quarter has only 2 sides, there are only 2 possible outcomes when I flip it. It will either land on heads, or tails
HEADS
TAILS

THEORETICAL PROBABILITY
When I flip my coin, the probability that my coin will land on heads is 1 in 2
What is the probability that my coin will land on tails??
HEADS
TAILS

Theoretical Probability
Right!!! There is a 1 in 2 probability that my coin will land on tails!!!
HEADS
TAILS
A probability of 1 in 2 can be written in three ways:
•As a fraction: ½•As a decimal: .50
•As a percent: 50%

I am going to take 1 marble from the bag. What is the probability that I will pick
out a red marble?
Theoretical Probability
I have three marbles in a bag.
1 marble is red
1 marble is blue
1 marble is green
![Page 13: PROBABILITY Definitions An experiment is a situation involving chance or probability that leads to results called outcomes An outcome is the result of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649f265503460f94c3df82/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Theoretical Probability Since there are three
marbles and only one is red, I have a 1 in 3 chance of picking out a red marble.
I can write this in three ways:
As a fraction: 1/3 As a decimal: .33 As a percent: 33%

Experimental Probability
Experimental probability is found by repeating an experiment and observing the outcomes.

Experimental Probability
The probability based on the outcomes you obtained in an experiment.
P(A) = Number of times event A occurs in the experiment Total number of trials

Experimental Probability
In our spinner experiment, if we spin 10 timesand the outcomes were:
Blue 4
Red 3
Green 2
Yellow 1
P(blue) = 4 or 2 10 5
![Page 17: PROBABILITY Definitions An experiment is a situation involving chance or probability that leads to results called outcomes An outcome is the result of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649f265503460f94c3df82/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Experimental Probability Remember the bag of marbles? The bag has only 1 red, 1 green, and
1 blue marble in it. There are a total of 3 marbles in the
bag. Theoretical Probability says there is a
1 in 3 chance of selecting a red, a green or a blue marble.
![Page 18: PROBABILITY Definitions An experiment is a situation involving chance or probability that leads to results called outcomes An outcome is the result of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649f265503460f94c3df82/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Experimental Probability

Experimental Probability Put the red marble back in the bag and
draw again. This time your drew a green marble. Record this outcome on the tally sheet.

Experimental Probability Place the green marble back in the bag. Continue drawing marbles and recording
outcomes until you have drawn 6 times. (remember to place each marble back in the bag before drawing again.)

Experimental Probability After 6 draws your
chart will look similar to this.
Look at the red column. Of our 6 draws, we
selected a red marble 2 times.

probability of drawing a red marble was 2 in 6.
This can be expressed as a fraction: 2/6 or 1/3 a decimal : .33 or a percentage: 33%

Probability Review
Theoretical (can be found without doing an experiment)
Experimental (can be found by repeating an experiment and recording outcomes.)
There are 2 types of probability:
Probability is a number from 0 to 1 that tells you how likely something is to happen.
