Define and Use Probability Section 10.3
Objectives: • Define probability • Find the likelihood that an event will occur
Key Vocabulary: • Probability • Theoretical probability • Odds • Experimental probability • Geometric probability
Probability The probability of an event is a number from 0 to 1 that indicates the likelihood the event will occur, as shown on the number line below. Probabilities can be written as fractions, decimals, or percents.
Example 1: You roll a standard six-sided die. Find the probability of (a) rolling a 5 and (b) rolling an even number.
Example 2: A community center hosts a talent contest for local musicians. On a given evening, 7 musicians are scheduled to perform. The order in which the musicians perform is randomly selected during the show. • What is the probability that the musicians perform in alphabetical order by their last names? (Assume that no two musicians have the same last name.) • You are friends with 4 of the musicians. What is the probability that the first 2 performers are your friends?
#1: You have an equally likely chance of choosing any integer from 1 through 20. Find the probability of the given event. A perfect square is chosen.
#2: You have an equally likely chance of choosing any integer from 1 through 20. Find the probability of the given event. A factor of 30 is chosen.
Example 3: A card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find (a) the odds in favor of drawing a 10 and (b) the odds against drawing a club.
Example 4: The bar graph shows how old adults in a survey would choose to be if they could choose any age. Find the experimental probability that a randomly selected adult would prefer to be at least 40 years old.
#4: A card is randomly drawn from a standard deck. Find the indicated odds. In favor of drawing a heart.
#5: A card is randomly drawn from a standard deck. Find the indicated odds. Against drawing a queen.
Example 5: You throw a dart at the square dart board shown. Your dart is equally likely to hit any point inside the board. Are you more likely to get 10 points or 0 points?
