Warm Up 1). Kim scored 3 out of 5 shots that she took. What is the experimental probability that she will make a shot? 2). Cameron rolled 4 fives out of 18 rolls on a number cube. What is the experimental probability? What is the theoretical probability? 3). Steve runs 4 out of 7 days a week. What is the probability that he will run on Monday? 3/5, 60% 2/9(22%), 1/6 (17%) 4/7, 57%

A sample space is all of the possible outcomes of an experiment. You can use a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of the sample space.

H T H T T H H T H H T T T H 1/8 Example: Jake tosses three pennies. Find all possible outcomes. Find the probability that all three tosses will show heads.
5
Practice Make a tree diagram for each. 1). Tossing a coin and rolling a number cube. 2). Choosing black, blue, or brown socks, with boots, gym shoes, or dress shoes.
6
Fundamental Counting Principle You can find the total number of outcomes for two or more experiments by multiplying the number of outcomes for each separate experiment. Example 1: Jack wants an ice cream. He can choose a cone or cup with vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream. How many types of ice cream can he buy? 2x3 6 possible outcomes
7
4 x 3 x 4 = 48 different dinners Example 2: A steak house offers the following choices for a steak dinner. How many different dinners are possible? SteakHow CookedPotatoes New York StripRareMashed RibeyeMediumBaked PorterhouseWellSweet T-boneAu Gratin
8
Practice Find the total number of outcomes using the fundamental counting principle. 1). tossing a quarter, a dime and a nickel 2). choosing scrambled, sunny-side up, or poached eggs with bacon or sausage and milk, orange juice or apple juice 3). rolling a number cube and tossing two coins 3 x 2 x 3 =18 6 x 2 x2 = 48 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
9
Closure Compare using a tree diagram and using the Fundamental Counting Principle to find a sample space.
