... There are a few different ways to find probabilities. A common one is in situations where there is an equal chance for each event to happen. ◦ The probability of drawing a specific card from a deck is 1/52 (assuming the jokers were removed). ◦ The probability of getting a specific number when you ro ...

Basic Terms of Probability
... Relative frequency • Tossing a single coin has a sample space of Heads and Tails. That is S={H,T}. • Theoretically speaking the probability of tossing a head is ½. • Let say you flip a coin 10 times and record the result of each toss. • According to my results I recorded seven trials with heads. Th ...

... repeated a large number of times can be useful to make predictions about events. Toss a coin 100 times. Record how many times it lands on heads in a table. After every 10 throws calculate the fraction of heads so far. Convert your proportions (fractions) to decimals. Graph the number of throws vs. t ...

Basic Probability Concepts
... If there are n people in a room, what is the probability that at least two of them have the same birthday? Solution Recording the n birthdays is equivalent to taking a sample of size n with replacement from a population of size 365 (leap-years will be ignored). The number of samples is (365) n and w ...

Sample Space, Events and Probability
... Consider a random experiment. The set of all the possible outcomes is called the sample space of the experiment and is usually denoted by S. Any subset E of the sample space S is called an event. Here are some examples. Example 1 Tossing a coin. The sample space is S = {H, T }. E = {H} is an event. ...
