The closer the probability of a given event is to 1, the more likely it is that the event will occur. The closer the probability of a given event is to 0, the less likely that the event will occur.

Sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment, denoted by S. Event, denoted by E is any subset of a sample space. Sum of the theoretical probabilities of all possible outcomes is 1.

Find the probability of rolling a.3b. an even number Solution: The sample space is S = {1,2,3,4,5,6} a. There is only one way to roll a 3 so n(E) = 1. P(3) = number of outcomes that result in 3 = n(E) = 1 total number of possible outcomes n(S) 6 b. Rolling an even number describes the event E = {2,4,6}. This event can occur in 3 ways: n(E) = 3. P(even number) = number of outcomes that result in even number = n(E) = 3 =1 total number of possible outcomes n(S) 6 2

Computing Empirical Probability The empirical probability of event E is: P(E) = observed number of times E occurs = n(E) total number of observed occurrences n(S)

Solution: The probability of selecting a female is the observed number of females, 121.3(million), divided by the total number of U.S. adults, (million).
