Chance Experiments with Outcomes that are not Equally Likely

In previous lessons, you learned that when the outcomes in a sample space are equally likely, the probability of an event is the number of outcomes in the event divided by the number of outcomes in the sample space. However, when the outcomes in the sample space are not equally likely, we need to take a different approach.

You will need to add probabilities in order to find Unequal probability amounts: # of Bananas Probability What would be the probability of buying exactly 3 bananas?

# of Bananas Probability What would be the probability of buying NO bananas?

# of Bananas Probability What would be the probability of buying more than 3 bananas? This is where we ADD the probabilities. Since we are looking for MORE than 3, we add the probability for the 4 and 5 amounts: = 0.5

# of Bananas Probability What is the probability of buys AT LEAST 3 Bananas?

# of Bananas Probability What is the probability that Jenna doesn’t buy exactly bananas? Remember that the probability that an event does not happen is So, the probability that Jenna does not buy exactly 3 bananas is
