I will use fractions to describe probability. • favorable outcome Main Idea/Vocabulary
Use Fractions to Describe Probability One marble is chosen from the bag. Find the probability that a red marble is chosen. Example 1
number of red marbles total number of marbles Answer: So, the probability of choosing a red marble is . 3 8 3 8 Use Fractions to Describe Probability number of favorable outcomes P(event) = number of possible outcomes 6 P(red) = 16 Simplify. P(red) = Example 1

Jamal is making a beaded belt. Each packet of beads comes in the colors shown in the table. If Jamal takes one bead without looking, what is the probability that he gets a blue or green bead? There are 12 + 18 + 24 + 6 or 60 beads in all. There are 18 + 24 or 42 beads that are either blue or green. Example 2
blue or green beads total number of beads 42 60 7 10 Answer: So, the probability that Jamal will get a blue or green bead is . 7 10 number of favorable outcomes P(event) = number of possible outcomes 18 + 24 P(blue or green) = 12 + 18 + 24 + 6 = Add. Simplify. = Example 2
