Example Question #561 : Data Analysis And Probability

If a class has  boys and  girls, what is the probability the teacher will call on a boy?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the probability of an event, we will use the following formula:

 

Now, in the event of calling on a boy in the class, we can determine the number of ways the event can happen:

because there are 10 boy students in the class.

 

To find the number of possible outcomes, we get

because there are 22 total students the teacher could potentially call on.

 

Knowing all of this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Reduce:

 

Therefore, the probability of calling on a boy is .

Example Question #1 : Develop A Uniform Probability Model By Assigning Equal Probability To All Outcomes: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.7a

Megan has a bag of marbles containing  pink marbles,  orange marbles,  green marbles, and  yellow marbles. What is the probability that Megan will pick a pink marble out of the bag?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In this problem we have a total of  marbles. That means that each marble, regardless of color, has a  chance of being picked, as shown in the images below. This image shows equal probability because each marble has a  chance of being drawn, which is equal to the probability of all of the other marbles.

Megan wants to know what her probability is of drawing a pink marble out of her bag. Remember, probability is the number of favorable outcomes over the total number of outcomes:

For this problem there are  pink marbles; therefore,
