Another way of representing 2 or more events is on a probability tree.
Marble simple probability examples trees.
It is the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of possible outcomes.
Probability tree diagrams for independent events how to solve probability problems using probability tree diagrams.
This video goes through 2 examples of probability.
We ll use the following model to help calculate the probability of simple events.
A coin is biased so that it has a 60 chance of landing on heads.
Again we ll have to think about the possible outcomes first.
And so this is sometimes the event in question right over here is picking the yellow marble.
We calculated p drawing a non red 455.
Is a wonderful way to picture what is going on so let s build one for our marbles example.
Problems demonstrate non conditional and cond.
The sample space for the second event is then 19 marbles instead of 20 marbles.
There are 3 balls in a bag.
Dependent events are what we look at here.
In this example we are figuring out the probability of randomly picking a non blue marble from a bag.
Probability is the chance or likelihood that an event will happen.
This is called probability without replacement or dependent probability.
We can go one step further and see what happens when we pick a second marble.
There is a 2 5 chance of pulling out a blue marble and a 3 5 chance for red.
What is the probability the third marble is the first red marble.
For example a marble may be taken from a bag with 20 marbles and then a second marble is taken without replacing the first marble.
One example uses with replacement and one example uses without replacement.
The probability is 1 3 for each of these.
This math education video demonstrates how to calculate the probability of removing colored marbles from a bag.
Use these examples of probability to guide you through calculating the probability of simple events.
One ball is picked out and not replaced and then another ball is picked out.
Find the probability of pulling a yellow marble from a bag with 3 yellow 2 red 2 green and 1 blue i m assuming marbles.
The first red a jar contains 30 red marbles 12 yellow marbles 8 green marbles and 5 blue marbles you draw and replace marbles 3 times.
The probability of picking a yellow marble.
We can use a tree diagram to help us find the probability.
The first ball can be red yellow or blue.
If it is thrown three times find the probability of getting a three heads b 2 heads and a tail c at least one head.
