Theoretical & Experimental Probability, Independent Events

Front

What is the probability of selecting a large green shirt from a store that sells shirts in three sizes (small, medium, large) and four colors (red, blue, green, white)?

Back

P(large and green) = 1/12

Front

How many combinations can Robin make with 5 different pairs of shoes and 6 different pairs of socks if she selects one of each?

Back

30 combinations

Front

What is an outcome in probability?

Back

The result of an experiment.

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

What actually happens.

Front

If a spinner is divided equally and you need to find P(A) where A is one of the sections, what is P(A) if there are 4 sections?

Back

1/4

Front

Define Independent Events in probability.

Back

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other.

Front

What is the formula for calculating theoretical probability?

Back

P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

Front

If you flip a coin, what is the probability of getting heads?

Back

P(heads) = 1/2.

Front

What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

Back

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

Front

If a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4?

Back

P(number > 4) = 1/3.
