Example Question #52 : Develop And Compare Probability Models And Find Probabilities Of Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.7
A bag contains the following:
- 3 blue pens
- 2 red pens
- 5 black pens
- 2 pencils
Find the probability of grabbing a pencil out of the bag.
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of drawing a pencil out of the bag, we can determine the following:
because there are 2 pencils in the bag.
Now, we can determine the following:
because there are 12 total objects in the bag we could potentially draw:
- 3 blue pens
- 2 red pens
- 5 black pens
- 2 pencils
Now, knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of drawing a pencil out of the bag is .
Example Question #551 : Data Analysis And Probability
A classroom contains 8 boys and 12 girls.
Find the probability the teacher calls on a boy.
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of the teacher calling on a boy, we can determine the following:
because there are 8 boys in the classroom.
Now, we can determine the following:
because there are 20 total students in the class the teacher could potentially call on:
- 8 boys
- 12 girls
Now, knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of the teacher calling on a boy is .
Example Question #122 : Statistics & Probability
A bag contains the following:
- 5 red pens
- 3 blue pens
- 4 black pens
Find the probability of grabbing a blue pen from the bag.
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of grabbing a blue pen from the bag, we can calculate the following:
because there are 3 blue pens in the bag.
Now, we can calculate the following:
because there are 12 pens in the bag we could potentially grab:
- 5 red pens
- 3 blue pens
- 4 black pens
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of grabbing a blue pen from the bag is .
Example Question #571 : Data Analysis And Probability
In a dice game, what is the probability of rolling a factor of 6 on a six-sided die?
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
Now, given the event of rolling a factor of 6 on a dice, we can calculate the following:
because there are 4 factors of 6 on a dice:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 6
Now, we can calculate the following:
because there are 6 possible outcomes we could potentially get when rolling a dice:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Therefore, the probability of rolling a factor of 6 on a dice is .
Example Question #51 : Probability
Find the probability that we draw a 4 of Hearts from a deck of cards.
To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:
So, given the event of drawing a 4 of Hearts, we can calculate the following:
Because there is only one 4 of Hearts in a deck of cards.
