HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT
(b) Are these outcomes equally likely? If not, which is most likely? Least likely?

least likely is HHH

10. The Law of Large Numbers
In random sampling, the larger the sample, the closer the proportion of successes in the sample tends to be to the proportion in the population.

11. The Law of Large Numbers
In random sampling, the larger the sample, the closer the proportion of successes in the sample tends to be to the proportion in the population.
In other words, the more trials you conduct, the closer you can expect your experimental probability to be to the theoretical probability

17. A student playing monopoly says “I have not rolled doubles on the last six rolls; I am due for doubles.”
How does the Law of Large Numbers apply here?

18. How does the Law of Large Numbers apply here?
A student playing monopoly says “I have not rolled doubles on the last six rolls; I am due for doubles.”
The dice will eventually come up doubles,
but the probability remains on each roll
no matter what has happened before.
Any one particular random trial is just that - - random.

19. Law of Large Numbers
In a random process, you can not predict what happens in an individual trial or even in a small number of trials, but you can predict the pattern that will emerge if the process is repeated a large number of times.

20. Fundamental Principle of Counting
Tree diagram:
Shows all possible outcomes of an experiment
Quickly becomes unwieldy if many stages or many outcomes for stages.

Think about drawing a card from a standard deck of playing cards, replacing it, then repeating this process two more times

22. Fundamental Principle of Counting
If you only need to know how many outcomes are possible, then use the Fundamental Principle of Counting.

23. Fundamental Principle of Counting
For a two-stage process with n1 possible outcomes for stage 1 and n2 possible outcomes for stage 2, the number of total possible outcomes for the two stages is
n1 n2.
This can be extended to as many stages as desired.

24. Fundamental Principle of Counting
How many outcomes are possible if you flip a coin, roll a die, and pick a card from a standard deck of playing cards?

30. Two-Way Table
When a process has only two stages, it is often more convenient to list them using a two-way table.

Make a two-way table that shows all possible outcomes when you roll two fair dice.

33. Make a two-way table that shows all possible outcomes when you roll two fair dice.

34. Make a table that gives the probability distribution for the sum of the two dice. The first column should list the possible sums, and the second column should list their probabilities.
