P. 150
Objective: Learn how to find the theoretical and experimental probabilities.
Out of the 15 games, how many times did school A win?
How many times did school B win?
What is the probability that school A will win?
P(A) = number of games school A won = 15 =
number of total games 3
What is the probability that school B will win?
P(B) = number of games school B won = 15 = 3
number of total games
Of the twoschools play the 16th game, which school has a higher chance of
winning?
P(event) is the probability of the event. P is the first letter of probability.
Probability is not an absolute truth, but a measure of a likelihood.
The range of probability is 0 p 1.
0 1 (0.5) 1
2
0% unlikely 50% likely 100%
impossible certain
