Generally in ourdaily life we have 3 types of situations
1. Certainly happen
2. Impossible
3. Happen but not confirm
(may or may not)
4.
Impossible Certain
Even Chance
UnlikelyLikely
1.The sun will rise tomorrow.
2.You will live to be 500.
3.You spin a coin and get a head.
4.You will see a bus on your way home.
5.You will see an ambulance on your way home.
Experiment
Experiment means anoperation which can produce
some well defined outcomes
Example : Results knowing early before doing
experiments in Laboratory
Examples:
1. Tossing acoin
2. Throwing a dice
3. Pick out a card from a well shuffled deck of playing cards
4. Taking a ball from group of balls
5. Choosing a number from spinning an arrow
11.
The outcomes ofan experiment
are the ways it can happen.
The event is the particular outcome you are looking for.
6 10
2 52
Elementary event
If arandom experiment is performed, then each
outcome is known as elementary event
14.
Sure Event: Thoseevents whose probability is one.
Example : The probability of getting a white ball from a group of white
balls.
Impossible Event: Those events whose probability
is zero.
Example :
The probability of getting a number greater than 6, when a die is thrown
once, is an impossible event, as the highest number in a die is 6.
Types of Events
15.
Favorable event
The caseswhich ensure the
occurrence of an event are called
favorable cases to that event
16.
The Probability ofan Event is
P(Event) = Number of trails in which the event happened
Total number of trails
(OR)
P(Event) = Number of outcomes favorable to Event
Number of all possible outcomes
52 Playing Cardsin a pack
4 Suits (Clubs, Spades, Diamonds and Hearts)
13 cards in each suit (A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,K,Q)
A regular dice has the numbers 1,2,3,4,5&6
Answer is White,because there are more white marbles than any other colour.

46.
Can you tellme what the probability is?
1. What is the probability, as a decimal, of getting 'heads' when you
toss a coin?
2. Something that has an even chance of happening has a probability
of what percentage?
3. A bag contains just 5 buttons, all of which are blue. What is the
probability of picking a red button from the bag?
4. A bag contains 4 white buttons. How many black buttons must be
added so there is an even chance of picking a white button?
47.
1. What isthe probability, as a decimal, of getting 'heads' when you
toss a coin? 0.5
2. Something that has an even chance of happening has a probability
of what percentage? 50%
3. A bag contains just 5 buttons, all of which are blue. What is the
probability of picking a red button from the bag? 0
4. A bag contains 4 white buttons. How many black buttons must be
added so there is an even chance of picking a white button? 4
Can you tell me what the probability is?
48.
Write whether eachevent is certain, likely, unlikely, or impossible.
