Tuesday, November 18 th 1)Solve: -5(4x + 1) = 23 2)Solve: x 2 – 6x – 40 = 0 3)Simplify: (5x 2 – 5x + 5) – (4x 2 – 10x) 4)If I flip a coin, what is the probability or chance that it will land on “tails”?

Probability Big on the exam!

In your words, what is probability?

Experimental Probability Two Types  Gather data based on observations  This is what you JUST did.

Theoretical Probability Two Types

Example: Calculate the theoretical probability of getting an even number when you roll a number cube. What would be the theoretical probability of rolling an odd number?

Example: What is the theoretical probability of rolling a multiple of 3 with a number cube.

Example: A jar contains 30 red marbles, 50 blue marbles, and 20 white marbles. Find each theoretical probability. a)P(red) b)P(blue) c)P(not white) d) P(red or blue)

Example: A class tossed coins and recorded 161 heads and 179 tails. What is the experimental probability of heads? Of tails?

Example: A class rolled a number cube and recorded their results. What is the experimental probability of rolling each number? Number Occurrences Probability
