3. What is Probability? Chance or likelihood of an event Chance or likelihood of an event The probability of an event occurring is equal to the ratio of desired outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes (sample space). The probability of an event occurring is equal to the ratio of desired outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes (sample space).

4. What is Probability? The probability of an event occurring can be represented as a ratio or the equivalent fraction, decimal, or percent. The probability of an event occurring can be represented as a ratio or the equivalent fraction, decimal, or percent.

5. What is Probability? A probability of 0 means __________________________ A probability of 0 means __________________________ A probability of 1 means A probability of 1 means____________________________ the event will never occur. the event will always occur.

6. What is the difference between theoretical and experimental Probability? Theoretical probability of an event is the expected probability and can be found with a formula. Theoretical probability of an event is the expected probability and can be found with a formula. Chances of tossing one coin and getting “heads” is: 1:2 ½.50 50%

7. What is the difference between theoretical and experimental Probability? The experimental probability of an event is determined by carrying out a simulation or an experiment. The experimental probability of an event is determined by carrying out a simulation or an experiment. The experimental probability = The experimental probability = the number of times the desired outcomes occur the number of times the desired outcomes occur the number of trials in the experiment the number of trials in the experiment

8. What is the Probability of getting “heads” on one coin toss? 1 : 2 1 : 2 ½.50.50 50% 50%

9. What is the Probability of getting “red” on one spin? 1: 4 1: 4 1/4 1/4.25.25 25 % 25 %

10. What is the Probability of getting “two” on one toss of one die? 1: 6 1: 6 1/6 1/6.166666 or.16.166666 or.16 17% 17%
