100
Probability of drawing a 2 (as a percent)
19%
100
the probability of rolling a 2 (give answer as a fraction)
1/6
100
The list of possible outcomes in a probability experiment
Sample Space
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
100
Mr. Barker found the probability of drawing a spade to be 1/5 or 20%. Did he find the theoretical or experimental probability?
Experimental Probability because theoretical would be 1/4
100
Given a 4 color spinner with equal parts (red, blue, yellow, green) what is the probability of spinning red 5 times in a row?
1/1024
200
Probability of drawing the Queen of Hearts?
1/52
200
Probability of an even number or a 1
(give as a percent)
67%
200
Events that have no influence on each other
Independent
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
200
Probability of flipping heads twice in a row (as a fraction)
1/4
200
You have a bag of marbles, four red, seven yellow, two blue and five green. What is the probability of choosing orange?
0
300
Probability of drawing a 2,3 or 4 (as a fraction)
3/13
300
Probability of rolling an 8 on a single die
0
300
The ratio of actual outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes in repeated trials
Experimental Probability
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 blue then yellow.
3/9 then 4/8 so 12/72 or P(b,y)=1/6
300
What is the theoretical probability of landing on green or blue?
1/2 or 50%
300
Given a fair coin, a 6 sided dice, and a deck of cards, What is the P (Heads, Even Number, Queen of Hearts)
1/2*1/2*1/52 =1/208
400
Probability of pulling any 4 OR a heart (as a fraction)
4/13
400
probability of rolling a 5, then a 2 (as a fraction)
1/36
400
The second event is influenced by the first event
Dependent

If I am making a sandwich and have the options of wheat, white, sourdough, or rye for bread. Meat choices are ham, turkey, or tuna. Condiments are Mayo or Mustard. Draw a tree or area model to represent all options available OR use the fundamental counting principle to state the number of outcomes
Will Draw on Board!
400
What is the experimental probability of landing on green or blue?
3/8 or 38%
400
the theoretical probability of rolling a one THEN picking a red card out of a deck of cards, and then picking a black card (Without Replacement)
1/6*1/2*26/51 = 26/612=4.2%
500
Out of 250 draws of a standard deck of cards what is the probability of drawing an ace.
4/52 = x/250 x=19.2 so P(ace)=about 19
500
the probability of rolling a six then a number less than 3 (as a fraction)
1/18
500
what we expect to happen mathematically
Theoretical probability

P(turkey)= 4/12 or 1/3
500
What is the theoretical probability of not landing on green?
3/4 or 75%

2/11=x/100 x=about 18
600
Probability of not an ace (as a percent)
