Example 7-1a LUNCH For lunch, Jessica may choose from a turkey sandwich, a tuna sandwich, a salad, or a soup. For a drink, she can choose juice, milk, or water. If she chooses a lunch at random, what is the probability that she chooses a sandwich (of either kind) and juice? 1/2 Write probability statement for the meal P(sandwich) = There are 2 choices for a sandwich - turkey and tuna There are 4 total choices for a meal 2 4

If she chooses a lunch at random, what is the probability that she chooses a sandwich (of either kind) and juice? 1/2 P(sandwich) = 1 2 Write probability statement for the drink P(juice) = There is 1 choice for a juice 1 There are 3 choices for a drink 3 Numerator is 1 so already in simplest form

Example 7-1a LUNCH For lunch, Jessica may choose from a turkey sandwich, a tuna sandwich, a salad, or a soup. For a drink, she can choose juice, milk, or water. If she chooses a lunch at random, what is the probability that she chooses a sandwich (of either kind) and juice? 1/2 P(sandwich) = 1 2 Write probability statement for a sandwich AND juice P(juice) = 1 3 P(sandwich AND juice) = Multiply probability of sandwich and juice 1 2 1 3

Example 7-1b SWEATS Zachary has a blue, a red, a gray, and a white sweatshirt. He also has blue, red, and gray sweatpants. If Zachary randomly pulls a sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants from his drawer, what is the probability that they will both be blue? Answer: P(blue sweatshirt, blue sweatpants) = 1/2 NOTE: This is an independent event

Example 7-2a COMMITTEE SELECTION Mrs. Tierney will select two students from her class to be on the principal’s committee. She places the name of each student in a bag and selects one at a time. The class contains 15 girls and 12 boys. What is the probability she selects a girl’s name first, then a boy’s name? 2/2 Write probability statement for the meal P(girl’s name) = There are 15 girls 15 There is a total of 15 girls and 12 boys = 27 students 27

The class contains 15 girls and 12 boys. What is the probability she selects a girl’s name first, then a boy’s name? 2/2 P(girl’s name) = 15 27 Find the GCF = 3 Divide GCF into numerator and denominator 3 P(girl’s name) = 5 9

The class contains 15 girls and 12 boys. What is the probability she selects a girl’s name first, then a boy’s name? 2/2 P(girl’s name) = P(boy’s name) = 5 9 Write probability statement for boy’s name There are 12 boys 12 There is a total of 15 girls and 12 boys = 27 students 1 name has already been used so 27 - 1 = 26 students 26 NOTE: This is a dependent event because the first probability affects the second
