Probability of An Event: WK11-LAS2-SAP-II-11

This document discusses probability and provides examples of calculating the probability of various events. It begins by defining probability as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. It then gives two examples of calculating probabilities when rolling dice and obtaining certain outcomes. The document continues by listing several events and their probabilities, such as getting an even number when rolling a die or obtaining a sum of 6 when rolling two dice. It concludes by providing additional practice problems calculating probabilities for events involving cards and dice.

Learning Target(s):
• At the end of the lesson, the
student should be able to assess the
probability of an event.
PROBABILITY OF AN
EVENT

Review Problems on Probability of an Event

1. What is the probability of getting an even number in the experiment of rolling a die?
Solution:
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} n(S) = 6
A = {2, 4, 6} n(A) = 3

2. What is the probabil ty that the sum of the faces of the two dice is 8?
Solution:
F = {(2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2)}

n(F) = 5

n(S) = 36
