Probability Experimental and Theoretical and Sample Space

Which is an example of theoretical probability?

• The probability of rolling a 4 on a die is 1/6.

• I flipped a coin and it landed on tails 2/10 times.

Which is an example of experimental probability?

• The spinner landed on three 7 out of 10 times (7/10)

• The probability of landing on tails is 1/2.

Which is an example of sample space?

• The students were picked at random.

• A coin has 2 sides (heads and tails)

Even chance of event happening as not happening

• unlikely

• equally likely

• certain

• impossible

The chance an event will occur. It can be written as a fraction, decimal or percent.

• odds

• sample space

• outcome

• probability

Set of all possible outcomes

• experimental

• sample space

• probability

• theoretical

Name a type of model that shows the sample space

• stem and leaf plot

• line graph

• tree diagram

• box plot

A good way to organize outcomes for compound events would be..

• An outcome table

• box plot

• line graph

• put them in a hat and draw

What is the probability of spinning and landing on green?

• 3/12

• 1/4

• 3/4

• 9/12

Sample space is defined as...

• the likelihood of an event occurring.

• a diagram of all possible outcomes.

• the probability of an event.

• a list of all possible outcomes.
