1. AFM 13.3 Probability and Odds

2. When we are uncertain about the occurrence of an event, we can measure the chances of it happening with PROBABILITY

3. If an event can succeed in s ways and fail in f ways, then the probability of success is

14. ODDS The odds of the successful outcome of an event is the ratio of the probability of its success to the probability of its failure. Odds=

15. Find the odds A local weather forecast states that the probability of rain on Saturday is 80%. What are the odds that it will rain on Saturday? What are the odds that it will not rain on Saturday?

16. Of 7 kittens in a litter, 4 have stripes. 3 kittens are picked at random. Find odds of: All 3 have stripes P(s)= odds= Only 1 has stripes P(s)= odds= One is not striped P(s)=odds= If one is not striped, then 2 will be…

17. More finding odds Of 27 students in a class, 11 have blue eyes, 13 have brown eyes, and 3 have green eyes. If 3 students are chosen at random, what are the odds: All 3 have blue eyes P(S)=odds are 2 brown and 1 blue P(s)= odds are
