Section 14F – Using Grids to Find Probabilities Example 1)Use a 2D grid to illustrate the sample space for tossing a coin and rolling a die simultaneously.Find the probability of: a) tossing heads on the coinb) getting tails and a 5c) getting tails or a 5
Example 2) Two square spinners, each with 1, 2, 3, and 4 on their edges, are twirled simultaneously. Draw a 2D grid of the possible outcomes. Find the probability of: a) getting a 3 with each spinnerb) getting a 3 and a 1c) getting an even result for each spinner
Example 3)Draw a table of outcomes to display the possible results when two dice are rolled and the scores are summed.Determine the probability that the sum of the dice is 7.
Section 14G – Compound Events • www.BrainPop.com • Independent and Dependent Events • Explorelearning.com • Compound Independent Events
Independent Events • Events where the occurrence of one of the events ______ _____ affect the occurrence of the other event. does not P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B) “and” → multiplication P(A and B and C) = P(A) × P(B) × P(C)
Example 4)A coin and a die are tossed simultaneously. Determine the probability of getting heads and a 3.
Example 5)There are 9 brown boxes and 6 red boxes on a shelf. Anna chooses a box and replaces it. Brian does the same thing. What is the probability that Anna and Brian choose a brown box?
There are 9brown boxes and 6red boxes on a shelf. What if Anna choose the box and DID NOT replace it? Then Brian’s event of choosing a box becomes dependent. If Anna chooses red, P(Brian chooses brown) = P(Brian chooses brown) = If Anna chooses brown, P(Anna then Brian choose brown)
Dependent Events • Events where the occurrence of one of the events ______ affect the occurrence of the other event. does P(A then B) = P(A) × P(Bgiven that A has occurred)
Example 6)A box contains 4 red and 2 yellow tickets. Two tickets are randomly selected one by one from the box, without replacement. Find the probability that: (a) both are red (b) the first is red and the second is yellow.
Example 7)A hat contains tickets with numbers 1, 2, 3, … , 19, 20 printed on them. If 3 tickets are draw from the hat, withoutreplacement, determine the probability that all are prime numbers.
