Probability Concepts Assignment

The document outlines probability concepts through various activities involving dice, coins, and student participation in workshops. It defines key terms such as experiment, sample space, event, outcome, probability, mutually exclusive events, and independent events, and provides examples for each. Additionally, it includes probability calculations for scenarios with colored balls, demonstrating the difference between dependent and independent events.

Probability Concepts Assignment

Activity 1: Definitions Based on Context


In this activity, students engage in experiments involving rolling dice and flipping coins.
Based on the setup, the following definitions apply:

• Experiment: A procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a well-defined set of
outcomes. For example, rolling a die or flipping a coin.

• Sample Space: The set of all possible outcomes. For Group A (rolling a die): {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
For Group B (flipping a coin and rolling a die): {(H,1), (H,2), ..., (T,6)}.

• Event: A subset of outcomes from the sample space. Example: Getting an even number
when rolling a die is an event: {2, 4, 6}.

• Outcome: A single possible result from an experiment. Example: Rolling a 4 or flipping


heads and rolling a 5.

• Probability: A measure between 0 and 1 that describes the likelihood of an event


occurring. Example: Probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6.

• Mutually Exclusive Events: Events that cannot happen at the same time. Example: Rolling a
2 and rolling a 5 on a single die roll.

• Independent Events: The occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the
other. Example: Flipping a coin and rolling a die.

Activity 2: Workshop Participation Analysis


Based on the table provided, the number of students participating in Leadership (L) and
Team Building (T) activities is as follows:

• Students in both L and T = 50


• Only L = 70 - 50 = 20
• Only T = 80 - 50 = 30
• In neither = 150 - (50 + 20 + 30) = 50

Venn Diagram: The Venn diagram shows two intersecting circles, one for Leadership and
one for Team Building. Their intersection (center) contains 50 students. The Leadership-
only circle has 20 students and the Team Building-only circle has 30 students. Outside both
circles are 50 students who participated in neither.

Tree Diagram:

1. Start with Leadership:


- Leadership (L): 70/150
• Team Building (T): 50/70 → Joint = (70/150)*(50/70) = 1/3
• Not Team Building (T'): 20/70 → Joint = (70/150)*(20/70) = 2/15
- Not Leadership (L'): 80/150
• Team Building (T): 30/80 → Joint = (80/150)*(30/80) = 1/5
• Not Team Building (T'): 50/80 → Joint = (80/150)*(50/80) = 1/3

Activity 3: Probability Calculations with Colored Balls


There are 8 green and 4 yellow balls in a box, so the total is 12 balls.

• CASE 1 (with replacement):

- P(Green first) = 8/12 = 2/3

- P(Yellow second) = 4/12 = 1/3

- Combined Probability = (2/3) * (1/3) = 2/9

• CASE 2 (without replacement):

- P(Green first) = 8/12 = 2/3

- After removing one green, total = 11 balls; yellow = 4

- P(Yellow second) = 4/11

- Combined Probability = (2/3) * (4/11) = 8/33

These two probabilities differ because the second draw in CASE 2 depends on the first draw,
making the events dependent.
