Probability of Simple Event

This document discusses probability and provides examples of calculating the probability of simple events occurring. It defines key probability terms like sample space, event, and outcome. Examples are given of calculating the probability of drawing cards from a standard deck and balls from bags containing different numbers and colors of balls. Readers are asked to calculate probabilities for events like drawing balls of certain colors from described bags. The document aims to teach the basic concepts and calculations of probability.

Properties of Probability of an event
1. A probability is a number between 0 and 1,
inclusive.
2. The probability of an event that will not happen is
0.
3. The probability of an event that must happen is 1.
4. If the probability of an event E is P, then the
probability of the compliment of E is 1 – P.
Example 1: A coin is
tossed, find the probability
of getting a head.
Example 2: what is the
probability of rolling an
even number on a die?
A standard deck of cards has four suites: hearts, clubs,
spades, diamonds. Each suite has thirteen cards: ace, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen and king. Thus, the
entire deck has 52 cards total.
A playing card is drawn at random from a standard deck
of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of drawing:
 

1. A diamond
2. A black card
3. A queen
Group activity
1. A bag contains 7 white balls and 11 orange balls.
If a ball drawn at random from the bag, find the probability that
the ball is:
a. Green
b. White
c. Not white
if 12 red balls are added to the bag and a ball is drawn from the
bag. Find the probability that the ball is:
a. red
b. not red
c. orange
Seat Work
1. Draw a ball from the bag There are four
different colors (orange, yellow, blue and
white) of balls inside the bag, if the events
are drawing a white ball. What is the
probability to get the white ball?
 
2. Draw a ball from the bag. There are 3 red
balls and 2 green balls inside the bag. What is
the probability of drawing the following:
 
a. Draw a red ball from a bag.
b. Draw a blue ball from a bag.
c. Draw not red from a bag.
Thank You!
