Homework Problems 3

For the Guide on the Side

Today your student found the probability of simple events and wrote them as fractions. Probability is the chance of an event occurring. To find the probability of an event, your student first found the number of possible outcomes , or results of performing an experiment. Then your student found the number of favorable events.

Probability = number of favorable events number of possible outcomes

That means the probability of rolling a number greater than 7 on a dodecahedron numbered 1–12 is

5

12

.

Your student also found the probability of the complement of an event. The complement of an event is the collection of outcomes not contained in the event. The sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement is 1.

So the probability of rolling a number that is not greater than 7 is 1 –

5

12

=

7

12

.

Today your student was introduced to probability. In this cycle, your student will learn to write the probability of events as decimals and percents and will be able to explain how likely an event is to occur.

Later, your student will work with probability models and explore how to use probability to make predictions about real-life events.

Your student should be able to answer these questions about probability:

1) Describe the event in this situation.

2) List the possible outcomes. How many are there?

3) List the favorable outcomes. How many are there?

4) What is the complement of this event?

5) Explain what will happen when you roll the number cube/spin the spinner.

Here are some ideas to work with probability:

1) Place a number of objects in a bag. Can you write probabilities for different events?

Possible explanation: Probability is the number of favorable outcomes out of a total number of outcomes. In both events, the number of favorable outcomes is 1 and the total number of outcomes is 6, so rolling each number on the number cube has a probability of

For the Guide on the Side

Today your student wrote the probability of an event as a decimal and percent. He or she found the probability of en event by writing a fraction and then converted the fraction to a percent or decimal. The fraction is helpful because it gives information about the original situation. Writing the probability as a percent, however, is more common because it allows for easy comparison between probabilities. Your student also practiced estimating probabilities. In the next lesson, your student will describe how likely an event is to occur.

Your student should be able to answer these questions about writing probabilities as decimals and percents:

1) Describe the event in this situation.

2) When you write probability as a fraction, what does the numerator tell you? What does the denominator tell you?

3) What is the complement of this event?

4) An event and the complement of that event will add to what percent? How do you know?

For the Guide on the Side

Today your student used words to describe probability. Probability is a measure on a scale from

0 (impossible) to 1 (certain) with 0.5 (neither likely nor unlikely) in the middle. If an event has a probability between 0 and 0.5, it is unlikely to occur. If an event has a probability between 0.5 and 1 it is likely to occur.

Comparing probability on a number line also helped your student determine which events were more and less likely to occur. The closer a probability is to 1 on the number line, the more likely it is to occur. In the next cycle, your student will test out events and compare his or her results to the results they predicted.

Your student should be able to answer these questions about naming probability:

1) Explain how you described the probability of this event in words.

2) Name an event that is impossible to occur and an event that is certain to occur.

3) Describe the probability of this event. What is an event that is more/less likely to occur?

4) What is the complement of this event? Describe the probability of the complement.

5) Is the complement of an unlikely event always likely? How do you know?

Here are some idea to work with naming probability:

1) Name some events in your life that are certain, likely, equally likely, unlikely, and impossible.

Can you write or estimate a probability to describe them?

2) Listen for the words we used to talk about probability in your everyday life. You might be surprised to hear them in conversation, on the T.V., and on the Internet. Make a list of some examples. Do they describe the probability of an event?

Homework Answers

1) a. Possible answer: An impossible event is picking a green marble from the bag. b . 0 %

0

Possible explanation : There are no green marbles in the bag so P(green marble) =

13

= 0 = 0%.

2) P(B)

Possible explanation : P(A) = 0.125 and P(B) = 0.25. On a number line 0.25 is closer to 1 than 0.125, so P(B) is more likely to occur than P(A).

3) It is likely that Amanda will be late to school.

Possible explanation : Amanda’s chance of being late is 80%. 80% = 0.8 and falls between 0.5 and 1.

Events that fall between 0.5 and 1 are likely to occur.

4) a.

4 1

or

2 8 b. Equally likely.

1

Possible explanation : A probability of

2

= 0.5. A probability of 0.5 is exactly between 0 and 1 on the number line, so it is equally likely to occur.

7) 0.75; rational number

8) orange, orange

Word Problem

9) Ms. Neww is most likely to pull out a grape eraser, but the probability of selecting grape is unlikely.

Possible explanation : Ms. Neww is most likely to pull out a grape eraser because it has the highest probability. P(grape) = 0.4, P(strawberry) = 0.2, P(vanilla) = 0.2, and P(bubble gum) = 0.2. Even though grape has the highest probability, the event of pulling out a grape scented eraser is still an unlikely event because its probability is between 0 and 0.5.

4) a. 0.6 b. 0.4 c. 0.8

5) a. 25% b. 50% c. 75%

Lesson 3: Describe the probability of an event in words.

6) P(A) is more likely.

Possible explanation: To find which event is more likely, I found the probability for each event.

P(A) =

3

8

and P(S) =

1

4

. On the number line,

3

8

is closer to 1 than

1

4

. That means P(A) is more likely to occur.

7) a. 0.5 b. It is equally likely to roll an even number on the number cube.

Possible explanation: First I found the probability of rolling an even number: 4 favorable outcomes out of 8 possible outcomes is a probability of 0.5. On the number line, 0.5 is in the middle of 0 (impossible) and 1 (certain), so it is neither likely nor unlikely to roll an even number.

8) a. Possible answer: The spinner is likely to land on a consonant.

Possible explanation: There are 8 possible outcomes for spinning the spinner, so for an event to

4 be likely to happen, more than half (more than

8

) of the outcomes must be favorable. For spinning a consonant, there are 6 favorable outcomes out of 8 possible outcomes. b. Possible answer: 75%
