: Estimating Probabilities by Collecting Data

Carnival At the school carnival, there is a game in which students spin a large spinner. The spinner has four equal sections numbered 1–4 as shown below. To play the game, a student spins the spinner twice and adds the two numbers that the spinner lands on. If the sum is greater than 5, the student wins a prize

With your partner from yesterday You and your partner will play this game 15 times. Record the outcome of each spin in a table

Answer these questions Out of the 15 turns how many times was the sum greater than or equal to 5? What sum occurred most often? What sum occurred least often? If students played a lot of games, what proportion of the games played will they win? Explain your answer.

When you were spinning the spinner and recording the outcomes, you were performing a chance experiment. You can use the results from a chance experiment to estimate the probability of an event. In the carnival example, you spun the spinner 15 times and counted how many times the sum was greater than or equal to 5. An estimate for the probability of a sum greater than or equal to 5 is:

Formula P ( sum > 5) = ℎ t s Based on your experiment of playing the game, what is your estimate for the probability of getting a sum of 5 or more?

A student brought a very large jar of animal crackers to share with students in class. Rather than count and sort all the different types of crackers, the student randomly chose 20 crackers and found the following counts for the different types of animal crackers. Lion2 Camel1 Monkey4 Elephant5 Zebra3 Penguin3 Tortoise2 Total20

Let’s Look The student can now use that data to find an estimate for the probability of choosing a zebra from the jar by dividing the observed number of zebras by the total number of crackers selected. The estimated probability of picking a zebra is 3 of 20, or 0.15 or 15%. This means that an estimate of the proportion of the time a zebra will be selected is 0.15, or 15% of the time. This could be written as () = 0.15, or the probability of selecting a zebra is 0.15.

Estimations What is your estimate for the probability of selecting a lion? What is the estimate for the probability of selecting a monkey? What is the estimate for the probability of selecting a penguin or a camel? What is the estimate for the probability of selecting a rabbit?

What if? If the student were to randomly select another 20 animal crackers, would the same results occur? Why or why not? If there are 500 animal crackers in the jar, how many elephants are in the jar? Explain your answer
