When rolling one die...

P(3)= 

Independent or Dependent? 

Independent

Miss Murch found the probability of drawing a spade to be 1/5. Did she find the theoretical or experimental probability? 

Experimental Probability

100

Given a 4 color spinner with equal parts (red, blue, yellow, green) what is the probability of spinning red?

1/4

100

There are 3 blue, 2 green and 4 yellow tiles in a dish.  If I draw one and do not replace it, then draw another what is the probability of drawing two blues.

3/9 then 2/8  so P(b,b)= 1/12

200

Probability to pull the Queen of Hearts?

1/52

200

P(sum of 3)= ?

1/16

200

Event A does not affect Event B

Independent Event

200

In a deck of 52 cards...

P(club or spade)=

Independent or Dependent? 

Independent

200

What is the theoretical probability of landing on green or blue? 

1/2

200

Given a 4 color spinner with equal parts (red, blue, yellow, green) what is the probability of spinning purple?

0

200

There are 3 blue, 2 green and 4 yellow tiles in a dish.  If I draw one and do not replace it, then draw another what is the probability of drawing a blue then green

3/9 then 2/8 so P(b,g)= 1/12

300

Probability of pulling a 4 OR a 7?

2/13

300

Probability of rolling the doubles (same number) on both dice?

1/6

300

Probability is always between what 2 numbers

What is 0 and 1?

300

In a bag of 8 marbles...

P(yellow marble then blue marble)=

Independent or Dependent? 

Dependent

300

What is the experimental probability of landing on green or blue? 

3/8

300

You have a bag of marbles, four red and five green.  What is the probability of choosing red then green with replacement?

(4/9) * (5/9)= 20/81 = 0.247

300

There are 3 blue, 2 green and 4 yellow tiles in a dish.  If I draw one and do not replace it, then draw another what is the probability of drawing bluethen yellow.

3/9 then 4/8 so 12/72 or P(b,y)=1/6

400

Probability of drawing a card with a 2,3 or 4 on it?

3/13

400

What is the probability of rolling a six then a number less than 3?

 1/18

400

A ratio or product of the likelihood of an event(s) determined by the rules of the universe

Theoretical Probability

400

What is the probability of picking a purple marble and landing on green? 

1/22

400

What is the theoretical probability of not landing on green? 

3/4

400

Given a 4 color spinner with equal parts (red, blue, yellow, green) what is the probability of spinning red then blue?

1/2

400

12/13

500

P(not a sum of 12)= ?

35/36

500

Event A does affect the result of Event B

Dependent Event
500

What is the probability of picking a green or blue marble and landing on orange? 

1/11

500

What is the experimental probability of not landing on green? 

17/20

500

You have a bag of marbles, four red and five green.  What is the probability of choosing a red marble then a green marble ?


(4/9) * (4/8) = 16/72 = 0.222


500

A bag contains 6 red marbles, 8 blue marbles and 4 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probability, to the nearest 1000th, that both marbles drawn will be blue?
