1 Calculate theoretical probabilities and find the complement of an event.

2   An outcome is the result of a single trial  Sample space is all possible outcomes  An event is any outcome or group of outcomes.  The outcomes that match a given event are called favorable outcomes.  EX: Vocabulary

3   Tells how likely it is that an event will occur.  Abbreviated P(event)  “the probability of an event”  Ex: P(even)  That is, the probability of rolling an even number  Probability ranges from 0 to 1 Probability

4  Theoretical

5  Practice

6   All outcomes in the sample space that are NOT in the event.  The sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement is 1.  P(event) + P(not event) = 1  So, to find the probability of the complement of an event: P(not event) = 1 – P(event) Complement of an Event

7  Practice

8   Odds  P.310 #7-29 Assignment
