Probability

Probability: is the likelihood that an event will occur. Probability can be written as a fraction or decimal. _______________ _______________ _______________

Probability is always between 0 and 1. Probability = 0 means that the event will NEVER happen. Example: The probability that the Bills will win the Super Bowl this year. Probability = 1 means the event will ALWAYS happen. Example: The probability that Christmas will be on December 25th next year.

Event: A set of one or more outcomes Example: Getting a heads when you toss the coin is the event Compliment of an Event: The outcomes that are not the event Example: Probability of rolling a 4 = 1/6. Not rolling a 4 = 5/6. Experiment: an activity involving chance, such as rolling a cube Tossing a coin is the experiment Trial: Each repetition or observation of an experiment Each time you toss the coin is a trial

Outcome: A possible result of an event. Example: An outcome for flipping a coin is H Example: The list of all the outcomes for flipping a coin is {H, T} Sample space: A list of all the possible outcomes. Example: The sample space for spinning the spinner below is: {B, B, B, R, R, R, R, R, Y, G, G, G}.

X X Calculating OR Probabilities: by adding the probabilities. Example: P (Red or Green) in the spinner Example: When rolling a die: P(3 or 4) Uniform Probability: an event where all the outcomes are equally likely. Which spinners have uniform probability? X X 6

Calculating Probabilities Rolling a 0 on a number cube Rolling a number less than 3 on a number cube Rolling an even number on a number cube Rolling a number greater than 2 on a number cube Rolling a number less than 7 on a number cube Spinning red or green on a spinner that has 4 sections (1 red, 1green, 1 blue, 1 yellow)

Calculating Probabilities Contd Drawing a black marble or a red marble from a bag that contains 4 white, 3 black, and 2 red marbles. Choosing either a number less than 3 or a number greater than 12 from a set of cards numbered 1 – 20.

Experimental vs Theoretical Probability 12

Theoretical Probability: the probability of what should happen Theoretical Probability: the probability of what should happen. It’s based on a rule: Example: Rolling a dice and getting a 3 = Experimental Probability: is based on an experiment; what actually happened. Example: Alexis rolls a strike in 4 out of 10 games. The experimental probability that she will roll a strike in the first frame of the next game is:

Theoretical vs Experimental Probability Fill in table: What is the experimental probability of getting a red? What is the experimental probability of getting a blue? What is the experimental probability of getting a yellow? Theoretical Fill in Table: What is the theoretical probability of getting a red? What is the theoretical probability of getting blue? What is the theoretical probability of getting a yellow? Block Color Frequency Red Blue Yellow Block Color Frequency Red Blue Yellow

Theoretical and experimental probability of an event may or may not be the same. The more trials you perform, the closer you will get to the theoretical probability. 15

Try the Following 16

There are 2 small, 5 medium, and 3 large dogs in a yard. What is the probability that the first dog to come in the door is small? Experimental Theoretical 21

Predicting Probabilities 22

Making Predictions: Remember for predications we use proportions. A potato chip factory rejected 2 out of 9 potatoes in an experiment. If there is a batch of 1200 potatoes going through the machine, how many potatoes are likely to be rejected? Based on Colin’s baseball statistics, the probability that he will pitch a curveball is 1/4. If Colin throws 20 pitches, how many pitches most likely will be curveballs? 267 potatoes 5 curveballs 23

105 times 9 days 340 memory cards If John flips a coin 210 times about how many time should he expect the coin to land on heads? If the historical probability that it will rain in a two month period is 15%, how many days out of 60 could you expect it to rain? If 3 out of every 15 memory cards are defective, how many could you expect to be defective if 1700 were produced in one day? 105 times 9 days 340 memory cards 24

Compound Events 25

A Compound Event: is an event that consists of two or more simple events. Example: Rolling a die and tossing a coin. To find the sample space of compound events we use organized lists (tables) and tree diagrams. Example: A car can be purchased in blue, silver, red, or purple. It also comes as a convertible or hardtop. Use a table AND a tree diagram to find the sample space for the different styles in which the car can be purchased.

The Fundamental Counting Principle (FCP): a way to find all the possible outcomes of an event. **Just multiply the number of ways each event can occur. Example: The counting principle for the car purchase problem above: 4 x 2 = 8 8 possible outcomes 27

‘And’ Events: This means to multiply the events. Example: When flipping a coin and rolling a die: P (heads and 1) P(T and odd) 28

Examples 29

Suppose you toss a quarter, a dime, and a nickel Suppose you toss a quarter, a dime, and a nickel. What is the probability of getting three tails? Make a tree diagram to show the sample space: Use the FCP to check the total number of outcomes: 2 x 2 x 2= 8 8 possible outcomes 30

A coin is tossed twice. What is the probability that you land on heads at least once? Make a tree diagram to show the sample space P (at least one H) = ¾ 31

Find the probabilities of each of the following if you were to draw two cards from a 52-card deck, replacing the cards after you pick them. P(Jack and 2) P(Ace or 5) P(King of hearts and red 2) P(Jack and 14) P(King or 12) P(red Queen or 5) 32

List the sample space for rolling two six-sided dice and their sums List the sample space for rolling two six-sided dice and their sums. Then calculate the following probabilities: P(3 or 4) P(at least one odd) P(doubles) P(1 and 6) P(sum of 5) P(sum of at most 4) 33

In the space below, list all the possible sandwich combinations using 1 type of bread and 1 type of meat. If Nick decides to add whole wheat bread as another option, how many possible sandwich combinations will there be? WC RC WRb RRb 6 34

Independent & Dependent Events 35

Suppose you have a bag of with 4 red, 5 blue & 9 yellow marbles in it. From the first bag, you reach in and make a selection.  You record the color and then drop the marble back into the bag.  You repeat the experiment a second time. This experiment involves a process called with replacement. You put the object back into the bag so that the number of marbles to choose from is the same for both draws. Independent Event.

Suppose you have a bag of with 4 red, 5 blue & 9 yellow marbles in it. From the second bag you do exactly the same thing EXCEPT, after you select the first marble and record it's color, you do NOT put the marble back into the bag.  You then select a second marble, just like the other experiment. This experiment involves a process called without replacement You do not put the object back in the bag so that the number of marbles is one less than for the first draw. Dependent Event As you might imagine, the probabilities for the two experiments will not be the same. 

An Independent Event: is an event whose outcome is not affected by another event. Example: Rolling a die & flipping a coin With Replacement An Dependent Event: is an event whose outcome is affected by a prior event Example: pulling two marbles out of a bag at the same time Without Replacement “Is this problem with replacement?” OR “Is this problem without replacement?” 38

Try the following 39

**Can cross cancel with multiplication** A player is dealt two cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a pair of aces?   This is “without replacement” because the player was given two cards    P(Ace, then Ace) =  ***There are four aces in a deck and you assume the first card is an ace.*** **Can cross cancel with multiplication**

A jar contains two red and five green marbles A jar contains two red and five green marbles. A marble is drawn, its color noted and put back in the jar. What is the probability that you select three green marbles?   With replacement P(green, then green, then green) =

With replacement (independent) What is the probability of rolling a die and getting an even number on the first roll and an odd number on the second roll? When flipping a coin and rolling a die, what is the probability of a coin landing on heads and then rolling a five on a number cube? A bag of candy contains 4 lemon heads and 5 war heads. If Tim reaches in, takes one out and eats it, and then 20 minutes later selects another candy and its that as well, what is the probability that they were both lemon heads? With replacement (independent) With replacement (independent) Without replacement (dependent)

Mary has 4 dimes, 3 quarters, and 7 nickels in her purse Mary has 4 dimes, 3 quarters, and 7 nickels in her purse. She reaches in and pulls out a coin, only to have it slip form her fingers and fall back into her purse. She then picks another coin. What is the probability Mary picked a nickel both tries?   Michael has four oranges, seven bananas, and five apples in a fruit basket. If Michael picks a piece of fruit at random, find the probability that Michael picks two apples. With replacement (independent) Without replacement (dependent)

Without replacement (dependent) A man goes to work long before sunrise every morning and gets dressed in the dark. In his sock drawer he has six black and eight blue socks. What is the probability that his first pick was a black sock and his second pick was a blue sock? Sam has five $1 bills, three $10 bills, and two $20 bills in her wallet. She picks two bills at random. What is the probability of her picking the two $20 bills? Without replacement (dependent) Without replacement (dependent) 44

With replacement (independent) A drawer contains 3 red paperclips, 4 green paperclips, and 5 blue paperclips.  One paperclip is taken from the drawer and then replaced.  Another paperclip is taken from the drawer.  What is the probability that the first paperclip is red and the second paperclip is blue? A bag contains 3 blue and 5 red marbles. Find the probability of drawing 2 blue marbles in a row without replacing the first marble. With replacement (independent) Without replacement (dependent) 45

Simulations 46

An Simulation: is an experiment that is designed to act out a give event. Example: Use a calculator to simulate rolling a number cube Simulations often use models to act out an event that would be impractical to perform. 47

Try the following 48

In football, many factors are used to evaluate how good a quarterback is. One important factor is the ability to complete passes. If a quarterback has a completion percent of 64%, he completes about 64 out of 100 passes he throws. What is the probability that he will complete at least 6 of 10 passes thrown? A simulation can help you estimate this probability… In a set of random numbers, each number has the same probability of occurring, and no pattern can be used to predict the next number. Random numbers can be used to simulate events. Below is a set of 100 random digits. Since the probability that the quarterback completes a pass is 64% (or 0.64), use the digits from the table to model the situation. The numbers 1-64 represent a completed pass and the numbers 65-00 represent an incomplete pass. Each group of 20 digits represents one trial. 49

In the first trial (the first row of the table) circle the completed passes. How many passes were completed in this trial? Continue using the chart to circle the completed passes. Based on this simulation what is the probability of completing at least 6 out of 10 passes? 6 7/10 6 7 7 6 5 8 7 7 4 5 50

A cereal company is placing one of eight different trading cards in its boxes of cereal. If each card is equally likely to appear in a box of cereal, describe a model that could be used to simulate the cards you would find in fifteen boxes of cereal. Choosing a method that has 8 possible outcomes, such as tossing 3 coins. Let each outcome represent a different card. For example, the outcome of all three coins landing on heads could simulate finding card #1. Toss three coins to simulate the cards that might be in 15 boxes of cereal. How many times would you have to repeat? 15 times 51

Use a spinner with 5 equal sections, spin it 6 times A restaurant is giving away 1 of 5 different toys with its children’s meals. If the toys are given out randomly, describe a model that could be used to simulate which toys would be given with 6 children’s meals. Use a spinner with 5 equal sections, spin it 6 times 52
