Find P(heads) when flipping one coin.
P(heads) = 1/2 or 50%

What is theoretical probability?
What you would expect to occur; what should occur if you conduct a probability experiment.

What is the mode?
The data value that occurs most frequently.
200
How do we find the range?
Largest value - smallest value
200
The probability of rolling a 5 on a 20-sided die is 5%. Is this outcome impossible, unlikely, 50-50, likely, or certain?
Unlikely
200
What is experimental probability?
What actually occurs during a probability experiment.

Find P(3 or 4) when rolling a standard 6-sided number cube.
P(3 or 4) = 1/3 or "about"" "33.3%
300
What happens as we do more and more trials in a probability experiment?
The experimental probability gets closer and closer to the theoretical probability.
300
A coin is flipped 4 times. What is the probability of flipping 4 heads in a row?
P(headstimes4)=1/16 or 6.25%

Out of a similar group of 425 visitors to a science museum, predict how many would choose the planetarium as their favorite exhibit.
We would expect about 68 people to say the planetarium is their favorite.
400
A coin is flipped, a 20-sided die is rolled, a card is picked at random out of a standard deck, and a random letter of the alphabet is chosen. How many outcomes are there?
54,080

Is a pterodactyl a type of dinosaur?
No! They are pterosaurs, which are distant cousins of dinosaurs.
500
Find the median of this data set.
2 5 2 1 4 5 7 4 2 2 1

In the RAMS ticket drawing, 35 tickets are from PB's 1st hour, 103 tickets are from PB's 2nd hour, 201 tickets are from PB's 5th hour, and 358 tickets are from PB's 3rd hour. If Nick submitted 55 tickets, what is the probability his name gets picked?
P(Nick) = 55/697 or 7.9%
500
Based on the table, if you choose an adult at random, what would be the probability that they would prefer to pay bills online?
P("online")=9/40 or 22.5%
500
A coin is flipped, a 20-sided die is rolled, a card is picked at random out of a standard deck, and a random letter of the alphabet is chosen. What is the probability of flipping a heads, rolling a 12, choosing a 3 of spades, and choosing the letter j?
P("...that") = 1/54080 or ~~ 0.002%
