5. A prediction is a guess about something in the future
A prediction is a guess about something in the future. Suppose you know the experimental probability that an airline’s flight will be on time. You can use the probability to predict how many flights out of 1,000 will be on time.

6. Additional Example 1: Using Experimental Probability to Make Predictions
A store claims that 78% of shoppers end up buying something. Out of 1,000 shoppers, how many would you predict will buy something?
You can write a proportion. Remember that percent means “per hundred.”

7. Additional Example 1 Continued78
100
___ x
1,000 =
Think: 78 out of 100 is how many out of 1,000?
The cross products are equal.
100 • x = 78 • 1,000
100x = 78,000
100x
100
____
78,000
______ =
Divide both sides by 100.
x = 780
You can predict that about 780 out of 1,000 customers will buy something.

8. Check It Out! Example 1
A store claims 62% of shoppers end up buying something. Out of 1,000 shoppers, how many would you predict will buy something?
You can write a proportion. Remember that percent means “per hundred.”

1,000 =
Think: 62 out of 100 is how many out of 1,000?
The cross products are equal.
100 • x = 62 • 1,000
100x = 62,000
100x

____
62,000
______ =
Divide both sides by 100.
x = 620
You can predict that about 620 out of 1,000 customers will buy something.

10. Think: 2 out of 3 is how many out of 30?
Additional Example 2: Using Theoretical Probability to Make Predictions
If you roll a number cube 30 times, how many times do you expect to roll a number greater than 2?
P(greater than 2) = = 4 6 __ 2 3 2 3 __ x 30
___ =
Think: 2 out of 3 is how many out of 30?
The cross products are equal.
3 • x = 2 • 30
3x = 60 3x 3 __ 60 =
Divide both sides by 3.
x = 20

11. Additional Example 2 Continued
If you roll a number cube 30 times, how many times do you expect to roll a number greater than 2?
You can expect to roll a number greater than 2 about 20 times.

12. Think: 1 out of 2 is how many out of 30?
Check It Out! Example 2
If you roll a number cube 30 times, how many times do you expect to roll a number greater than 3?
P(greater than 3) = = 3 6 __ 1 2 1 2 __ x 30
___ =
Think: 1 out of 2 is how many out of 30?
The cross products are equal.
2 • x = 1 • 30
x is multiplied by 2.
2x = 30 2x 2 __ 30 =
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 15

13. Check It Out! Example 2 Continued
If you roll a number cube 30 times, how many times do you expect to roll a number greater than 3?
You can expect to roll a number greater than 3 about 15 times.

14. Additional Example 3: Problem Solving Application
Suppose the managers of a second stadium, like the one on page 411, also sell yearly parking passes.
The managers of the second stadium estimate that the probability of a person with a pass attending any one event is 50%. The parking lot has 400 spaces. If the managers want the lot to be full at every event, how many passes should they sell?

15. Understand the Problem1
Understand the Problem
The answer will be the number of parking passes they should sell.
List the important information:
P(person with pass attends event): = 50%
There are 400 parking spaces 2
Make a Plan
The managers want to fill all 400 spaces. But on average, only 50% of parking pass holders will attend. So 50% of pass holders must equal 400. You can write an equation to find this number.

16. Think: 50 out of 100 is 400 out of how many? 50 100 ___ 400 x ____
Solve 3
Think: 50 out of 100 is 400 out of how many? 50
100
___
400 x
____ =
The cross products are equal.
100 • 400 = 50 • x
40,000 = 50x
40,000 50
______
50x
___ =
Divide both sides by 50.
800 = x
The managers should sell 800 parking passes.

17. Look Back 4
If the managers sold only 400 passes, the parking lot would not usually be full because only about 50% of the people with passes will attend any one event. The managers should sell more than 400 passes, so 800 is a reasonable answer.

18. Check It Out! Example 3
The concert hall managers sell annual memberships. If you have an annual membership, you can attend any event during that year.
The manager estimates that the probability of a person with a membership attending any one event is 60%. The concert hall has 600 seats. If the manager want the seats to be full at every event, how many memberships should she sell?

19. Understand the Problem1
Understand the Problem
The answer will be the number of memberships they should sell.
List the important information:
P(person with membership attends event): = 60%
There are 600 seats 2
Make a Plan
The manager wants to fill all 600 seats. But on average, only 60% of membership holders will attend. So 60% of membership holders must equal 600. You can write an equation to find this number.

Think: 60 out of 100 is 600 out of how many?
The cross products are equal.
100 • 600 = 60 • x

60,000 60
______
60x
___ =
Divide both sides by 60.
1,000 = x
The manager should sell 1,000 annual memberships.

21. Look Back 4
If the manager sold only 600 annual memberships, the seats would not usually be full because only about 60% of the people with memberships will attend any one event. The managers should sell more than 600 passes, so 1,000 is a reasonable answer.
