Suppose you have 4 nickels, 2 dimes, and 6 quarters in your pocket. If you draw a coin randomly from your pocket, what is the probability that: a. You will draw a nickel? b. You will draw a half-dollar? c. You will draw a quarter? d. You will draw a silver coin?

Event – “drawing a specific coin” Sample space – All possible out comes P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes Total Number of Outcomes Ways to express probability » Fraction » Decimal » Percent » Odds Theoretical Probability

a.You will draw a nickel? P(nickel) = b. You will draw a half-dollar? P(half-dollar) = c. You will draw a quarter? P(quarter) = d.You will draw a silver coin? P(silver coin) =

Your group’s job is to conduct an experiment to determine the following: What is the probability of drawing each “different” item in the bag? Rules : NO ONE LOOKS INSIDE!!! ONLY 1 item can be drawn out at a time. The Item MUST be put back in the bag before another Item is drawn. Create a system for recording your results.

NOW…… If I told you there are 40 chips in your bag…. Predict how many of each are in your bag Red Chips Blue Chips Green chips Purple chips NOW COUNT!!!

1)Pick a Partner. 2)Select which player will be ODD and which will be EVEN. 3)Each turn consists of rolling 2 dice. 4)One player rolls to find the product of the two dice. 5)If the product is the even, then the player who predicted even gets a point. If the product is the odd, then the player who predicted odd gets a point. 6)First player to 10 points WINS!!
