Theoretical Probability

5. Equally Likely
When the outcomes in the sample space of an experiment have the same chance of occurring, the outcomes are said to be equally likely.

6. Theoretical Probability
The theoretical probability of an event is the ratio of the number of ways the event can occur to the total number of equally likely outcomes.

7. Finding Theoretical Probability
An experiment consists of rolling two number cubes. Find the theoretical probability of each outcome.
rolling a 5
rolling an odd number
rolling a number less than 3

9. When you toss a coin, there are two possible outcomes, heads or tails
When you toss a coin, there are two possible outcomes, heads or tails. The table below shows the theoretical probabilities and experimental results of tossing a coin 10 times.

10. Total Probability
The sum of the probability of heads and the probability of tails is 1, or 100%. This is because it is certain that one of the two outcomes will always occur.
P(event happening) + P(event not happening) = 1

11. A box contains only red, black, and white blocks
A box contains only red, black, and white blocks. The probability of choosing a red block is , the probability of choosing a black block is . What is the probability of choosing a white block?

12. A jar has green, blue, purple, and white marbles
A jar has green, blue, purple, and white marbles. The probability of choosing a green marble is 0.2, the probability of choosing blue is 0.3, the probability of choosing purple is 0.1. What is the probability of choosing white?

13. Odds are another way to express the likelihood of an event
Odds are another way to express the likelihood of an event. The odds in favor of an event describe the likelihood that the event will occur. The odds against an event describe the likelihood that the event will not occur.
