  1. Probability

  2. 13.3 Probability and Odds Warm Up What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a die? What is the probability of drawing a 4 from a deck of playing cards?

  3. 13.3 Probability and Odds Review An independent event occurs when the outcome does not affect other events. Example: rolling a pair of die A dependent event occurs when the outcome of the first event affects the outcomes of other events. Example: selecting two cards out of a deck

  4. 13.3 Probability and Odds Probability: The likelihood that a given event will occur. If an event can succeed in ‘s’ ways and fail in ‘f’ ways, then the probability of success and the Probability of failure are determined as follows: = = Since an event can either succeed or fail, the probability of either occurring is 1.

  5. Probability Odds: The odds of a successful outcome of an event is the ratio of the probability of its success to the probability of its failure. Odds is a comparison of possible outcomes, not the possibility of an outcome.

  6. Probability Example: Determine the probability of picking a diamond out of a standard deck of cards. Example: Determine the odds of picking a diamond out of a standard deck of cards.

  7. Probability Example: On the volleyball team, there are 5 freshmen, 6 sophomores, 9 juniors, and 4 seniors. If one is selected at random, what is the probability that the student is a freshman? Example: What are the odds that the student is a freshman?

  8. Probability One card is drawn at random from an ordinary deck of cards. Find the probability and odds of each event. a) a red face card b) 6 of clubs c) a king d) not a king

  9. Probability Example: Two dice are thrown. Find the probability that both dice show the same number.

  10. Probability Example:A production line supervisor knows that 4 of the 100 whatnots manufactured during a particular shift are defective. If 8 of the whatnots are chosen at random, what is the probability that at least 1 of them is defective?

  11. Probability Example:Four male and two female students have been selected as equal qualifiers for 2 college scholarships. If the awarded recipients are to be chosen at random, what are the odds that one will be male and one will be female? Probability and Odds (13-3) pg. 856, 13-37 odd, 44, 45, 51

  12. Probability A number wheel is divided in 12 equal sectors, numbered 1 – 12. Find the probability and odds of each event: a) It is a 5 b) It is a 2-digit number c) It is a factor of 12 d) It is an odd number e) It is a negative number f) It is a 3 or a 6 or a 9

  13. Probability Suppose two letters are picked at random from the word ‘computer’. What is the probability that both of the letters are consonants? What are the odds that both letters are consonants?

  14. Probability A letter is selected at random from those in the word RECTANGLE. Find the probability and odds of each event. a) It is a vowel b) It is a consonant c) It is between D and M in the alphabet d) It is either C or G
