event.

Do Now:
Lesson 1: Probability of Simple Events
Definitions
Probability is the chance that some event will
occur.
A simple event is one outcome or a collection of
outcomes.
Outcome is a possible result in a probability
experiment.
Random – each outcome is equally likely to
occur.
Complementary events are two events in which
either one or the other must happen.
Lesson 1: Probability of Simple Events
Probability can be written as a fraction,
decimal or percent.

Value is between 0 (impossible) and


1 (certain).
Lesson 1: Probability of Simple Events

The probability of an event is a ratio that


compares the number of favorable outcomes
to the number of possible outcomes.

P(event) = number of favorable


outcomes
number of possible outcomes
Lesson 1: Probability of Simple Events

Example: Flip of a Coin


2 outcomes (Heads or Tails)

P(Heads) = ½ or .5 or 50%
P(Tails) = ½ or .5 or 50%
Lesson 1: Probability of Simple Events

Example: Roll of a Number Cube


6 outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6)

P(0) = 0/6 0%

P(1) = 1/6 or .17 or 17%

P(2,3,or 4) = 3/6 or .5 or 50%

P(1,2,3,4,5,6) = 6/6 or 100%
