Intro to Sample Space

Front

What is a sample space?

Back

The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

What is the probability of an event?

Back

The likelihood of that event occurring, calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

Front

If a spinner has 8 equal sections, what is the probability of landing on any one section?

Back

1/8 or 0.125.

Front

What does it mean for outcomes to be equally likely?

Back

Each outcome has the same chance of occurring.

Front

What is an outcome in probability?

Back

A specific result of a probability experiment.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of landing on a specific number on a spinner with 8 sections?

Back

Divide the number of sections with that number by the total number of sections.

Front

If there are 4 outcomes that are favorable, what is the probability of one of those outcomes occurring out of 8 total outcomes?

Back

4/8 or 1/2.

Front

What is the sample space for flipping a coin?

Back

Heads, Tails.

Front

What is the probability of not landing on a specific number in a sample space of 8 outcomes?

Back

(Total outcomes - Favorable outcomes) / Total outcomes.

Front

If a die is rolled, what is the sample space?

Back

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
