Probability Concepts Assignment

Greenfield High School – Probability Activities

Activity 1: Definitions in Context

1. Experiment

A process that results in one or more outcomes.

Example: Rolling a die or flipping a coin.

2. Sample Space

The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.

Group A: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Group B: {H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6}

3. Event

A specific outcome or a set of outcomes from the sample space.

Example: Rolling an even number (Event = {2, 4, 6})

4. Outcome

A single result of an experiment.

Example: Rolling a 3 or getting Heads and a 5.

5. Probability

The likelihood of a specific outcome occurring.

1
P(Event)=Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

6. Mutually Exclusive Events

Events that cannot happen at the same time.

Example: Rolling an even number and an odd number on a single die roll.

7. Independent Events

Events where the outcome of one does not affect the other.

Example: Flipping a coin and then rolling a die.

Activity 2: Workshop Participation

Venn Diagram

Using the data:

● Leadership only = 20

● Team Building only = 30

● Both = 50

● Neither = 50 (outside both circles)

Tree Diagram

Probabilities:

● P(L) = 70/150

- P(T | L) = 50/70

- P(T′ | L) = 20/70

● P(L′) = 80/150

- P(T | L′) = 30/80

3
- P(T′ | L′) = 50/80

Activity 3: Probability Calculations

CASE 1 – With Replacement

● P(Green) = 8/12

● P(Yellow) = 4/12

● Balls are replaced, so probabilities remain the same:

P (Green→Yellow) =812 × 412 = 32144 = 29

CASE 2 – Without Replacement

● P(Green first) = 8/12

● After removing a green ball, 11 balls remain:

- Yellow = 4

● P (Yellow second) = 4/11

P (Green→Yellow) = 812 × 411= 32132 = 833
