  2. Probability & Area Objectives: (1) Students will use sample space to determine the probability of an event. (4.02) Essential Questions: (1) How can I use sample space to determine the probability of an event? (2) How can I use probability to make predictions?

  3. Probability & Area How can we use area models to determine the probability of an event? - Using a dartboard as an example, we can say the probability of throwing a dart and having it hit the bull's-eye is equal to the ratio of the area of the bull’s-eye to the total area of the dartboard

  4. Probability & Area What’s the relationship between area and probability of an event? Suppose you throw a large number of darts at a dartboard… # landing in the bull’s-eye area of the bull’s-eye # landing in the dartboard total area of the dartboard =

  5. Probability & Area Real World Example:Dartboard. A dartboard has three regions, A, B, and C. Region B has an area of 8 in2 and Regions A and C each have an area of 10 in2. What is the probability of a randomly thrown dart hitting Region B?

  6. Probability & Area Real World Example:Dartboard. A dartboard has three regions, A, B, and C. Region B has an area of 8 in2 and Regions A and C each have an area of 10 in2. What is the probability of a randomly thrown dart hitting Region B? area of region B total area of the dartboard P(region B) =

If you threw a dart 105 times, how many times would you expect it to hit Region B? (first we need to remember that from the previous question, there is a 2/7 chance of hitting Region B if we randomly throw a dart) 2 b 7 105 =
