Number of favorable outcomes Probability = of an event Total number of P(event) possible outcomes

  3. Slide 6 / 188 Probability Example: What is the probability of flipping a nickel and the nickel landing on heads? click Step 1: What are the possible outcomes? Step 2: What is the number of favorable outcomes? click Step 3: Put it all together to answer the question. The probability of flipping a nickel and landing on heads is: 1 click 2 Slide 6 (Answer) / 188 Probability Example: What is the probability of flipping a nickel and the nickel landing on heads? The outcomes become your denominator. click Step 1: What are the possible outcomes? P(heads) = Answer Step 2: What is the number of favorable outcomes? The favorable outcomes become click your numerator. Step 3: Put it all together to answer the question. P(heads) = [This object is a pull tab] The probability of flipping a nickel and landing on heads is: 1 click 2 Slide 7 / 188 Probability Probability can be expressed in many forms. For example, the probability of flipping a head can be expressed as: 1 or 50% or 1:2 or 0.5 2 The probability of randomly selecting a blue marble can be expressed as: 1 or 1:6 or 16.7% or .167 6

  4. Slide 8 / 188 Probability When there is no chance of an event occurring, the probability of the event is zero (0). When it is certain that an event will occur, the probability of the event is one (1). Equally Likely e l b y n i s l e y i s a k o l e t i p l r n k e m U i L C I 0 1 1 3 1 4 2 4 The less likely it is for an event to occur, the probability is closer to 0 (i.e. smaller fraction). The more likely it is for an event to occur, the probability is closer to 1 (i.e. larger fraction). Slide 9 / 188 Probability Without counting, can you determine if the probability of picking a red marble is lesser or greater than 1/2? It is very likely you will pick a red marble, so the probability is greater than 1/2 (or 50% or 0.5) Click to Reveal 5 Click What is the probability of picking a red marble? to Reveal 6 Add the probabilities of both events. What is the sum? 1 + 5 = 1 6 6 Click to Reveal Slide 10 / 188 Probability Note: The sum of all possible outcomes is always equal to 1. There are three choices of jelly beans - grape, cherry and orange. If the probability of getting a grape is 3/10 and the probability of getting cherry is 1/5, what is the probability of getting orange? 3 + 1 + ? = 1 10 5 ? 5 + ? = 1 10 ? The probability of getting an orange jelly bean is 5 . 10
