What is the probability that a randomly selected person likes football?

42/72 = 0.58333

100

How do we determine if two events are independent?

P(A)=P(A|B)

or

P(B)=P(B|A)

200

You flip a coin and spin a spinner that is split into 5 equal sections (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). List all possible outcomes for this experiment.

H1. H2. H3. H4. H5

T1. T2. T3. T4. T5

What is the probability that a randomly selected student plays football?

33/100 = 0.33

200

Find P(G).


85/348 = 0.5316

200


Are the events "version 1" and "likely to buy" independent? Why or why not?

Not independent 

P(A)= 99/180 = 0.55

P(A|B)= 25/65 =0.385

300

You flip a coin and spin a spinner that is split into 4 equal sections (labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4). What is the probability that the coin lands on heads and you spin a 3?

1/8

300


What is the probability that a randomly selected female plays basketball?

16/52

300


Find P(G and H)

22/348 = 0.0632

300


Are the events "likes football" and "likes chocolate" independent? Why or why not?

Not independent

P(A)= 42/72 =0.583333

P(A|B)=10/22 = 0.4545

400

You flip a coin and spin a spinner that is split into 5 equal sections (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). What is the probability that the coin lands on tails and the spinner lands on a number greater than 2?

3/10

400


What is the probability that a randomly selected person who prefers vanilla also prefers soccer?

18/50

400


Find P(G|H)

22/170 = 0.1294

400


Are the events "H" and "G" independent?

Why or why not?

Not independent

P(H) = 170/348 = 0.4885

P(H|G) = 22/185 = 0.1189

500

You flip a coin and spin a spinner that is split into 5 equal sections (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). What is the probability that the coin lands on heads or the spinner lands on an odd number?

8/10 or 4/5

500


What is the probability that someone who viewed the 2nd version is likely to buy?

20/30

500


Find P(H|G)

22/185 = 0.1189

500


Are the events "fresh" and "apples" independent? Why or why not?

Not independent

P(A)= 320/415 = 0.77
