Find the experimental probability that the player hits the bull’s eye. P(bull’s eye) = 8 = 0.16, or 16% 50 Probability Find the theoretical probability of rolling a multiple of 3 with a number cube. To roll a multiple of 3 with a number cube, you must roll 3 or 6. 2 outcomes result in a multiple of 3. 2 6 6 equally likely outcomes are in the sample space. 1 =3 Probability Brown is a dominant eye color for human beings. If a father and mother each carry a gene for brown eyes and a gene for blue eyes, what is the probability of their having a child with blue eyes? Gene from Father B b Gene from Mother B b BB Bb Bb bb Let B represent the dominant gene for brown eyes. Let b represent the recessive gene for blue eyes. The sample space contains four equally likely outcomes {BB, Bb, Bb, bb}. The outcome bb is the only one for which a child will have blue eyes. So, P(blue eyes) = 1 . 4 1 The theoretical probability that the child will have blue eyes is 4 , or 25%. Geometry Probability Geometric Probability = area that would give a favorable solution total area Each ring has a width of 1 How do we find the probability of hitting the purple ring? Strategy?? In your own words, how would we get the probability of the purple ring R=1 Probability For the dartboard above, find the probability that a dart that lands at random on the dartboard hits the outer ring. of outer ring P(outer ring) = area area of circle with radius 4r = = = = (area of circle with radius 4r) – (area of circle with radius 3r) area of circle with radius 4r (4r)2 – (3r)2 (4r2) 16 r2 – 9 16 7 r2 16 7 = 16 r2 r2 r2 Radius = 1 Each ring has a width of 1 The theoretical probability of hitting the outer ring is about 44%. 7 , or 16 Random Number Generator • When actual trials are difficult to conduct, you can find experimental probabilities by using a simulation, which is the model of one or more events. • To create a random number list on the graphing calculator, use the following keys: MATH RandInt ENTER Create a random number generator for the integers 1 to 10 Input: (1, 10)
