CALCULATE THE PROBABILITY OF AN EVENT

1.ANSWER THIS QUESTION: IS THE EVENT POSSIBLE? STOP: DON’T CONTINUE. THE PROBABILITY OF THE EVENT IS O GO TO NUMBER 2 TO CALCULATE THE PROBABILITY OF THE EVENT NOYES

2. COUNT THE NUMBER OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES. EXAMPLE: POSSIBLE OUTCOMES WHEN ROLLING A DIE: 6 (1,2,3,4,5,6) POSSIBLE OUTCOMES WHEN TOSSING A COIN: 2 (heads, tails)

3. COUNT THE NUMBERS OF WAYS THE EVENT CAN HAPPEN (FAVOURABLE OUTCOMES) EXAMPLE: GETTING A 1 WHEN YOU ROLL A DIE. HOW MANY WAYS? JUST 1 EXAMPLE: GETTING A HEAD WHEN YOU TOSS A COIN. HOW MANY WAYS? JUST 1

4. THE PROBABILITY OF THE EVENT IS: The number of ways the event can happen (favourable events) divided by the number of possible outcomes. Use a fraction: number of ways the event can happen (favourable events) number of possible outcomes P(event)= numerator denominator

Number of possible outcomes Number of ways a head can happen Favourable events EXAMPLE: P( GETTING A 1 WHEN YOU ROLL A DIE )= 1 Number of possible outcomes 6 EXAMPLE: P( GETTING A HEAD WHEN YOU TOSS A COIN )= 1 2
