Introduction to Probability

Front

What is the theoretical probability of an event?

Back

The theoretical probability of an event is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of an event occurring?

Back

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)

What is the probability of spinning a number less than 3 on a spinner divided into 4 equal sections?

Back

1/4

How do you determine the probability of drawing a specific color marble from a bag?

Back

Probability = (Number of specific color marbles) / (Total number of marbles in the bag)

If an event is absolutely certain, what is its probability expressed as a percentage?

Back

100%

Front

If an event is absolutely impossible, what is its probability expressed as a percentage?

Back

0%

Front

What is the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual outcomes from experiments.

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.
