The document outlines lessons on probability and chance experiments. It provides instructions for homework assignments on calculating probabilities and a review packet. Key concepts covered include sample spaces, outcomes, theoretical vs experimental probability, and equally likely outcomes. Examples are given of chance experiments like drawing colors from a bag or rolling a die. Students are directed to practice problems for calculating probabilities of events.

Outcome: Is the result of a single trial in an
experiment.
ex: You roll a die and get a 5. 5 is the outcome.
Sample Space: All the possible outcomes in an
experiment.
• Flipping a coin - Heads and Tails
• Drawing a color from a bag of 3 red, 2 blue, 1 yellow,
4 green.
• Picking a letter from the word classroom.

Equally Likely Outcomes
The outcomes of an experiment are equally likely to
occur when the probability of each outcome is equal.

3
Each outcome has a 25%
chance of occurring!
