3. What is probability? Probability is defined as a measure of how likely it is that some event will occur.

4. Example question: If you have 4 red balls, 5 green balls and 1 blue ball in a bag; how likely would it be to grab a green ball out of the bag? How to answer: Take the number of green balls over the total number of all the balls. There is 5 green balls and 10 balls in total. Answer: 5/10 = 50% chance!

21. Probability using a color wheel. Using this color wheel you will notice that there are 6 colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Purple, Blue and Green.

22. Example question: If you flick the spin wheel, what is the probability of the spinner landing on Purple OR Red? In this question you have to take notice to the “or” at the end. When you see “or” you have to add the two in the answer. Answer: There is 1 Red spot and 1 Purple spot so the answer would be… 2/6 (6 comes from the total number of colors on the wheel) If you flick the spin wheel, what is the probability of the spinner landing on Purple OR Red?
