Define: Probability
The likelihood something will happen.
There is a bag with 8 green marbles, 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 6 orange marbles.
What is the probability you draw a red marble?
3/20
4/52 = 1/13
(Use the spinner on the board)
What is the probability of spinning an even number?
6/12 = 1/2
{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}
How many cards are there in a standard deck?
52 (no jokers)
Define: Multiple
The product result of two numbers being multiplied.
There is a bag with 8 green marbles, 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 6 orange marbles.
What is the probability you draw a blue or an orange marble?
9/20
What is the probability of drawing a King, Queen or Jack (face cards)?
4/52 + 4/52 + 4/52 = 12/52 = 3/13
P(King) = 4/52
P(Queen) = 4/52
P(Jack) = 4/52
(Use the spinner on the board)
What is the probability of spinning a prime number?
5/12
{2, 3, 5, 7, 11}
How many faces on a fair die?
6 (numbered 1-6)
Define: Prime number
A number whose only factors are one and itself.
There is a bag with 8 green marbles, 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 6 orange marbles.
P(not green)
12/20 = 3/5
P(red card < 8)
7/52 + 7/52 = 14/52 = 7/26
(Use the spinner on the board)
P(a multiple of 4)
3/12 = 1/4
{4, 8, 12}
P(you have a quiz tomorrow)
100%!
How would you read the following in terms of a deck of cards:
P(3 of hearts)
The probability of drawing a 3 of hearts.
There is a bag with 8 green marbles, 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 6 orange marbles.
P(not pink)
20/20 = 1
P(red 4 or black 7)
2/52 + 2/52 = 4/52 = 1/13
(Use the spinner on the board)
P(< 4 and is even)
1/12
{2}
Why does each section on the spinner on the board have an equally likely chance of being landed on?
Each section on the spinner are an equally likely outcome because the sections are equally sized and there are no numbers that repeat.
Define: Even and Odd
Even: A number divisible by 2.
Odd: A number when divided by 2 will have a remainder of 1.
There is a bag with 8 green marbles, 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 6 orange marbles.
P(not green or not blue)
17/20 + 9/20 - 9/20 = 20/20 = 1
P(red card < 4 or red face card)
6/52 + 6/52 = 12/52 = 3/13
(Use the spinner on the board)
P(< 10 - 4 or < 2 )
5/12 + 1/12 - 1/12 = 5/12
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
What are the 5 terms you can describe describe the likelihood of an outcome?
