Finding the Probability of Compound Events Using Tables

The video tutorial covers how to find the probability of compound events using different methods such as tree diagrams, organized lists, and tables. It explains common mistakes students make when calculating probabilities and provides examples using coin tosses and dice rolls. The tutorial emphasizes understanding sample spaces and correctly interpreting probability questions.

Which method can be used to list all possible outcomes when a fair coin is tossed twice?

• Venn Diagram

• Tree Diagram

• Bar Graph

• Pie Chart

What is the probability of getting at least one head when tossing two fair coins?

• 1/2

• 1

• 1/4

• 3/4

Why might students incorrectly calculate the probability of getting at least one head?

• They count the tails outcomes twice.

• They forget to include the outcome with two heads.

• They only consider the first coin toss.

• They use a pie chart instead of a list.

How many possible outcomes are there when rolling two dice?

• 36

• 24

• 48

• 12

What is the probability of rolling a sum greater than 10 with two dice?

• 1/6

• 1/12

• 1/3

• 1/2
