Example Question #871 : Grade 7
Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll a and the spinner will land on yellow?
To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:
As shown from the diagram, we have possible outcomes. There is only one way to roll a six and for the spinner to land on yellow; thus, the probability is
Example Question #1 : Represent Sample Spaces For Compound Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8b
Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll an even number and the spinner will land on pink?
To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:
As shown from the diagram, we have possible outcomes. There are three even numbers on a die: , , and and for each other those numbers there is one way to spin a pink; thus, the probability is
Example Question #873 : Grade 7
Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll an odd number and the spinner will land on orange?
To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:
As shown from the diagram, we have possible outcomes. There are three odd numbers on a die: , , and and for each of those numbers there is one way to spin an orange; thus, the probability is
Example Question #2 : Represent Sample Spaces For Compound Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8b
Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll a and the spinner will land on any color except yellow?
To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:
As shown from the diagram, we have possible outcomes. There is only one way to roll a six and two colors other than yellow; thus, the probability is
Example Question #875 : Grade 7
Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll a number other than and the spinner will land on yellow or orange?
To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:
As shown from the diagram, we have possible outcomes. There are five numbers other than : , , , , and . For those five numbers, the spinner can land one of two colors, yellow or orange; thus, the probability is
Example Question #11 : Represent Sample Spaces For Compound Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8b
Kara is going to roll a die and spin a spinner, shown below. What is the probability that she will roll a number other than and the spinner will land on yellow?
To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and spinning the spinner:
As shown from the diagram, we have possible outcomes. There are five numbers other than : , , , , and and for those five numbers, the spinner can land on yellow once; thus, the probability is
Example Question #877 : Grade 7
Charlie is going to roll a die and flip a coin. What is the probability that he will roll a number other than and the coin will land with heads facing up?
To help us solve this problem, we can make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes of rolling a die and flipping a coin:
As shown from the diagram, we have possible outcomes. There are five other numbers on a die, other than : , , , , and . Looking at those numbers on the diagram, we can see that there are five ways to roll a number other than and for the coin to land on heads; thus, the probability is
Example Question #871 : Grade 7
What is the probability of flipping a coin three times, with the coin landing on heads all three times, and rolling a on a die?
There are two sides to a coin: heads and tails. The probability of the coin landing on heads is
To determine the probability of the coin landing on heads three times in a row, we take the probability of the coin landing on heads and multiply it three times.
Based on the question, we want to combine the probability of flipping a coin three times, with the coin landing on heads all three times, with the probability of rolling a on a die. There are sides to a die, and only one of those sides has the number ; thus, the probability of rolling a on a die is
We want the probability of all of these events occurring, so we need to multiply:
Example Question #874 : Grade 7
What is the probability of flipping a coin two times, with the coin landing on heads all two times, and rolling a on a die?
There are two sides to a coin: heads and tails. The probability of the coin landing on heads is
To determine the probability of the coin landing on heads two times in a row, we take the probability of the coin landing on heads and multiply it two times.
Based on the question, we want to combine the probability of flipping a coin two times, with the coin landing on heads all two times, with the probability of rolling a on a die. There are sides to a die, and only one of those sides has the number ; thus, the probability of rolling a on a die is
We want the probability of all of these events occurring, so we need to multiply:
Example Question #1 : Design And Use A Simulation To Generate Frequencies For Compound Events: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Sp.C.8c
What is the probability of flipping a coin four times, with the coin landing on heads all four times, and rolling a or a on a die?
There are two sides to a coin: heads and tails. The probability of the coin landing on heads is
To determine the probability of the coin landing on heads four times in a row, we take the probability of the coin landing on heads and multiply it four times.
Based on the question, we want to combine the probability of flipping a coin four times, with the coin landing on heads all four times, with the probability of rolling a or a on a die. There are sides to a die, and one of those sides has the number and one has the number ; thus, the probability of rolling a or a on a die is
