Vocabulary
•Probability
Vocabulary
•Probability
Usually expressed as a fraction – CAN be a decimal or percent.
ALWAYS between 0 and 1
Probability
The probability of an event can be expressed as:
P(a) = outcomes possible of number total
outcomes favorable of number
Example 1
Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 on a die.
P(greater than 2) = 6

•Odds
Odds
Favorable : Unfavorable
Example 3
Find the odds of rolling a number greater than two on a die.
Numbers greater than two: 3, 4, 5, 6
Numbers not greater than two: 1, 2
Odds = 4:2
Example 3
Find the odds of rolling a number greater than two on a die.
Numbers greater than two: 3, 4, 5, 6
Numbers not greater than two: 1, 2
Odds = 4:2 or 2:1
