Understanding Probability

Slide3: 

S = Sample Space The Sample Space is the set of all possible outcomes in a probability experiment. Let S = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} then n(S)=10 Find n(A) if A = {the whole numbers between 5 and 12} n(A) = 6 since A = {6,7,8,9,10,11}

Slide4: 

An Event consists of a set of outcomes of a probability experiment. The probability, P, of Event (E) with sample space, S, is defined as the ratio of n(E) to n(S) i.e., P(E) =

Slide5: 

A bag of marbles has 3 red and 2 green marbles in it. n(S) = 5 E= pull out a green marble Find the probability of pulling out a red marble if you put your hand in the bag and pull out one marble. Find P(E).

Slide6: 

Another way to say that: P(Red) = n(successes) n(total outcomes) = Find P(green) =

Slide7: 

What is the highest a probability value can be? What is the lowest a probability value can be? In fact, 0 ≤ p ≤ 1 Or, if you prefer to use percents: Every probability is between 0% and 100%.

In summary……… Sample Space Event P(E) =

Slide42: 

I have come to a frightening conclusion. I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized." Haim Ginott

Determine the largest rectangular area for a fixed perimeter. Identify coordinates for ordered pairs that satisfy an algebraic relation or function. Determine and justify the similarity or congruence for two geometric shapes. Obtain historical data about local weather to predict the chance of snow, rain, or sun during year. Test consumer products and illustrate the data graphically. Plan a large school event and calculate resources (food, decorations, etc.) you need to organize and hold this event. Make a scale drawing of the classroom on grid paper, each group using a different scale. Calculate percentages of advertising in a newspaper. Tour the school building and identify examples of parallel and perpendicular lines, planes, and angles. Determine the median and mode of real data displayed in a histogram Organize and display collected data, using appropriate tables, charts, or graphs. Express probabilities as fractions, percents, or decimals. Classify triangles according to angle size and/or length of sides. Calculate volume of simple three- dimensional shapes. Given the coordinates of a quadrilateral, plot the quadrilateral on a grid. A
