Bell Ringer Your younger cousin asks if she can borrow some crayons to color a picture. A box of crayons contains 15 different colors, and she wants to choose 5. How many combinations of colors does she have to pick from?
Today’s Agenda 1. Bell Ringer/HW 2. Permutations vs Combinations 3. Quick Check 4. Intro to Single Probability 5. Experimental vs. Theoretical Probability 6. Team Mastery
What’s the Difference Permutation (Order Matters) Combination (Order Doesn’t Matter) Ordered Arranged Ranked Listed Choices Groups Combinations
Single Events 1. P(Rolling a 5) = 2. P(Not Rolling a 4) = 3. P(Rolling a number “1-6”) = 4. P(Rolling an “8”) =

Theoretical vs. Experimental After 10 spins, Hank landed on green 3 times, red 2 times, orange 1 time, purple 3 times, and yellow 1 time. What is the THEORETICAL probability Hank’s next spin will land on GREEN? RED? What is the EXPERIMENTAL probability Hank’s next spin will land on GREEN? RED?
