Probability Practice

Probability is ...

• the chance that some event will occur.
• a game that involves coins.
• a guarantee.

Experimental Probability is:

• What Will happen 
• What actually happens
• What should happen
• What I think Happens

What is an outcome?

• The result of an experiment
• The chance or likelihood of an event
• A fraction, decimal, or a percent
• An activity that gives various results

Theoretical Probability is?

• What Should happen
• What does happen
• What Will Happen
• What I want to Happen

A jar contains 2 pink, 6 red, and 4 blue marbles. If you pick one marble without looking, what is the probability that the marble you pick will be red or blue?

• 5/6
• 1/2
• 1/3
• 1/6

The chart below represents the number of marbles in a jar.
P(green) = 

• 5/19
• 10/28
• 5/14

What is the probability of selecting an orange candy?

• 0%
• 25%

The probability of it raining today is 30%.  What is the probability that it will NOT rain?

• 30%
• 70%
• 100%
• 0%

A set of all possible outcomes is known as - 

• a list
• a complement
• a sample space
• an event

Find the experimental probability:

Roll dice: 1, 3, 3, 4, 4

P(1) =
