This video tutorial for grade 7 math covers the concept of experimental probability, focusing on compound events. It explains how to calculate the probability of compound events using examples like flipping a coin and rolling a die. The video also uses a real-world example of ice cream orders to demonstrate how experimental probability can be applied in business decisions. The importance of understanding probability in making informed business choices is highlighted. The tutorial concludes with a brief introduction to simulations, which will be covered in the next video.

What is experimental probability used for?

• To calculate the speed of an object

• To approximate the likelihood of an event occurring

• To determine the exact outcome of an event

• To measure the temperature of a substance

What is a compound event?

• An event that is always dependent

• An event that cannot occur

• An event that includes two or more simple events

• An event with only one possible outcome

Which of the following is an example of independent events?

• Rolling two dice and getting the same number

• Flipping a coin and drawing a card from a deck

• Drawing two cards from a deck without replacement

• Flipping a coin and rolling a die

How many possible outcomes are there when flipping a coin and rolling a die?

• 12

• 10

• 8

• 6

What tool can be used to record the results of an experiment?

• A protractor
