- Probability is the measure of how

likely something will occur.

- It is the ratio of desired

outcomes to total outcomes.

NEXT
 Empirical Probability

Formula

- Relies on actual experience to

determine the likelihood of
outcome.

NEXT
 Subjective Probability

- Subjective probability is based

on a person’s own personal
reasoning and judgment.

Suppose a researcher asked 25 people if they like the

taste of a new soft drink. The table Shows the frequency
distribution of people’s responses. Find the Probability that
a person Responded NO.

Responses Frequency

yes 15

No 8

Solution

Let E = be the event that a person responded

NO, the:

P(E) = f/n =8/25

 A box contains 3 red balls, 5 yellow
balls, and 2 blue balls. If a ball is
picked randomly from the box, what
is the probability that a ball picked
is a:

a. yellow. b. Red ball.

Answer
 A box contains 3 red balls, 5 yellow
balls, and 2 blue balls. If a ball is
picked randomly from the box, what
is the probability that a ball picked
is a

a. yellow. b. Red
ball.

P(yellow P(red ball)
