Types of Problems[]
'Read the table and determine the probability.
There are three types of problems in this exercise:
- 1. Read the table and determine the probability: This problem asks the user to read the table and determine the probability of the event happening.
Read the dot plot and determine the probability.
- 2. Read the dot plot and determine the probability: This problem has a dot plot and the user asked to determine the probability of the event happening.
Read the frequency and determine the probability.
- 3. Read the frequency table and determine the probability: This problem has a frequency table and users are asked to determine the probability of the event happening.
Strategies[]
Knowledge of probability and reading data are essential to ensure success in this exercise.
- Experimental probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.
Real-life Applications[]
- Probability, along with decimals, percents, and fractions are used to determine the probability of a basketball player making a shot.
- Data and statistics appear in news reports and in the media every day.
- Many of the problems in this exercise could be viewed as real-life applications.
