UNIT 9: Probability Review
#1 What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?
#1 Answer Experimental Probability requires and experiment and data collection. Theoretical Probability predicts the outcome of an event by using a ratio of the number of times the event can occur to the total number of possibilities.
#2 The probability of a given event can be represented as a ratio between what two numbers?
#2 Answer 0 and 1
#3 As the number of trials ____, the experimental probability of an event approaches the theoretical probability of that event.
# 3 Answer higher or larger
#4 Five cards are labeled with the letters {M, A, R, C, H}. Find P(R)
#5 If you flip a coin 40 times, about what percent of the tosses would be expected to land tail-side up?
#5 Answer 50%
#6 If you roll a six-sided number cube, what is the probability of rolling an odd number?
#7 What is the probability of pulling out a pair of red socks from a drawer that has 4 blue, 6 white, 5 red, 3 black, and 2 brown pairs of socks?
#8 If the weatherman says there is a 75% chance of rain, what chance is it that it won’t rain?
#8 Answer 25%
#9 You have 2 quarters, 6 dimes, 5 nickels, and 3 pennies in your pocket. What is the probability of pulling out a dime?
#10 What is the probability of spinning an even number on a spinner with a sample space of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8? Write the answer as a decimal, fraction, and a percent.
