Module 5 Experimental Probability

Find the probability of each event. (Lesson 5.1)

Question 1.
Rolling a 5 on a fair number cube.
Total number of cube: Possibilities 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, so 6.
Number: A regular cube has only one side with number five, so 1 possibility.
P (rolling a 5) =
The probability of rolling a 5 is $$\frac{1}{6}$$.

Question 2.
Picking a 7 from a standard deck of 52 cards. A standard deck includes 4 cards of each number from 2 to 10.
There are 4 cards with 7, so number of cards with 7 is 4.
P (picking a 7) =
The probability to pick a number 7 is $$\frac{1}{13}$$.

Question 3.
Picking a blue marble from a bag of 4 red marbles, 6 blue marbles, and 1 white marble.
Total number of marbles in all color: 4 + 6 + 1 = 11
P (picking a blue marble) =
The probability of picking a blue marble is $$\frac{6}{11}$$.

Question 4.
Rolling a number greater than 7 on a 12-sided number cube.
Number of sides with number greater than 7 is side with 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, so 5 possibilities for number greater than 7.

Question 5.
Christopher picked coins randomly from his piggy Penny Nickel Dime Quarter bank and got the numbers of coins shown in the table. Find each experimental probability. (Lessons 5.2, 5.3)

Total number of possible outcomes is:
7 + 2 + 8 + 6 = 23

a. The next coin that Christopher picks is a quarter. __________________
P (picking a quarter) =
The probabiLity of picking a quarter is $$\frac{6}{23}$$

b. The next coin that Christopher picks is not a quarter. _______________
P (not picking a quarter) = 1 – P (picking a quarter) = 1 – $$\frac{6}{23}$$ = $$\frac{23}{23}$$ – $$\frac{6}{23}$$ = $$\frac{17}{23}$$
The probability of not picking a quarter is $$\frac{17}{23}$$

c. The next coin that Christopher picks is a penny or a nickel. __________
P (picking a penny or nickel) =
The probability of picking a penny or nickel is $$\frac{9}{23}$$

Question 6.
A grocery store manager found that 54% of customers usually bring their own bags. In one afternoon, 82 out of 124 customers brought their own grocery bags. Did a greater or lesser number of people than usual bring their own bags? (Lesson 5.4)
Use proportion

The number of people that usually bring their own bags is greater that afternoon because 82 > 67

Module 6 Theoretical Probability

Find the probability of each event. (Lessons 6.1, 6.2)

Question 1.
Graciela picks a white mouse at random from a bin of 8 white mice, 2 gray mice, and 2 brown mice.
Number of possible ways is 8 because we have 8 white mices.

P (picking a white mouse) =
The probability of picking a white mouse is $$\frac{2}{3}$$

Question 2.
Theo spins a spinner that has 12 equal sections marked 1 through 12. It does not land on 1.

The probability not to land on 1 is $$\frac{11}{12}$$.

Question 3.
Tania flips a coin three times. The coin lands on heads twice and on tails once, not necessarily in that order.
Number of possible ways is 3 because we can flip HHT, HTH, THH
Total number of possible outcomes is 8 because we can flip HHH, HTT, HHT, TTT, THH, TTH, THT, HTH.
P (lands on heads twice and on tails once) =
The probability that coin lands on heads twice and on tails once is $$\frac{3}{8}$$.

Question 4.
Students are randomly assigned two-digit codes. Each digit is either 1, 2, 3, or 4. Guy is given the number 11.
Number of possible ways is 1 because to have 1 on each digit of code is only one.
Total number of possible outcomes is 16 because for first digit we have 4 possibilities and also for second so, 4 ∙ 4 = 16.
P (two-digit code is 11) =
The probability to give a number is 11 is $$\frac{1}{16}$$.

Question 5.
Patty tosses a coin and rolls a number cube. (Lesson 6.3)
a. Find the probability that the coin lands on heads and the cube lands on an even number.
Number of possible ways is 3 because there are three ways to flip a head and roll a even number: H-2,H-4, H-6.
Total number of possible outcomes is 12 because: for coin we have 2 possibilities and for cube 6, so 2 ∙ 6 = 12.
P (flip a head and a cube is on an even number) =
The probability to flip a head and a cube is on an even number is $$\frac{1}{4}$$.

b. Patty tosses the coin and rolls the number cube 60 times. Predict how many times the coin will land on heads and the cube will land on an even number.
Use proportion

The coin will land on head and a cube on an even number about 15 times out of 60.

Question 6.
Rajan’s school is having a raffle. The school sold raffle tickets with 3-digit numbers. Each digit is either 1, 2, or 3. The school also sold 2 tickets with the number 000. Which number is more likely to be picked, 123 or 000? (Lesson 6.3)
For total number of possible outcomes we have for first digit 3 possibilities, for second and third also and we have also 2 possibilities with 000, so 29 possibilities.

It is more likely to pick a ticket numerated with 000 than ticket numerated with 123.

Question 7.
Suppose you know that over the last 10 years, the probability that your town would have at least one major storm was 40%. Describe a simulation that you could use to find the experimental probability that your town will have at least one major storm in at least 3 of the next 5 years. (Lesson 6.4)
The probability that the city wilt have at least one major storm is $$\frac{40}{100}$$ = $$\frac{2}{5}$$.
Let numbers 1 and 2 represent that there was a major storm, and 3 4 and 5 that not We generate five numbers in each of 10 trials Find the experimental probability that the major storm occurred at least three times of the five years.

Question 1.
CAREERS IN MATH Meteorologist A meteorologist predicts a 20% chance of rain for the next two nights, and a 75% chance of rain on the third night.
a. On which night is it most likely to rain? On that night, is it likely to rain or unlikely to rain?
P (chance to rain to the next two nights) = $$\frac{1}{5}$$
P (chance to rain third night) = $$\frac{3}{4}$$
Chance to rain is more likely third day than first two nights. It is likely to rain that night.

b. Tara would like to go camping for the next 3 nights, but will not go if it is likely to rain on all 3 nights. Should she go? Use probability to justify your answer.
P (chance to rain all three nights is) : $$\frac{1}{5}$$ ∙ $$\frac{3}{4}$$ = $$\frac{3}{20}$$
It is not likely to rain all three nights.

Question 2.
Sinead tossed 4 coins at the same time. She did this 50 times, and 6 of those times, all 4 coins showed the same result (heads or tails).
a. Find the experimental probability that all 4 coins show the same result when tossed.
The experimental probability that all 4 coins show the same result when tossed is:

b. Can you determine the experimental probability that no coin shows heads? Explain.
The experimental probability that all 4 coins shows heads is P = $$\frac{3}{25}$$.
The experimental probability that no coin shows the heads is:
1 – P = 1 – $$\frac{3}{25}$$ = $$\frac{25}{25}$$ – $$\frac{3}{25}$$ = $$\frac{22}{25}$$

c. Suppose Sinead tosses the coins 125 more times. Use experimental probability to predict the number of times that all 4 coins will show heads or tails. Show your work.
Use proportion.

You can expect that all 4 coins will show heads or tails about 15 times out of 125.

Question 11.
A bag contains 6 white beads and 4 black beads. You pick out a bead at random, record its color, and put the bead back in the bag. You repeat this process 35 times. How many times would you expect to remove a white bead from the bag?

How we get the value of 21 in the forth column from the left we round the number 2, in the column to the right of it 1. In the columns after the column with a decimal point we do not round anything because it is an integer.
You can expect that you will pick a white bead about 21 times

Question 12.
A set of cards includes 20 yellow cards, 16 green cards, and 24 blue cards. What is the probability, written in decimal form, that a blue card is chosen at random?

As we get the decimal number 0.4 in the column in front of the column with a decimal point, we will round the number 0, while in the column after the decimal point we will round the number 4.
The probability to choose blue card is 0.4.

Question 13.
A survey reveals that one airline’s flights have a 92% probability of being on time. Out of 4,000 flights in a year, how many flights would you predict to arrive on time?

P (flight arrive on time) = $$\frac{92}{100}$$ = $$\frac{23}{25}$$
To predict how many flights will arrive on time we use proportion. In that proportion equalize the probability that flight will arrive on time with fraction, which numerator is unknown and mean the number of flight which arrive on time out of 4000 flights, denominator 4000 which is total number of flights
