Find the theoretical probability of each of the events described below. First, figure out the total number
Question:
Find the theoretical probability of each of the events described below. First, figure out the total number of possible outcomes. Then, determine how many times your desired event could happen. The theoretical probability of an event, or P (Event) is written as a fraction: desired event/total possible outcomes. If possible, reduce all of your fractions to lowest terms.
Example: Sophia had a six-sided number cube. Each side was labeled with one number, from 1 through.
6) What is the probability that Sophia rolls a two?
7) Ashley ran to the store to pick up some cereal. The store had 12 aisles. Ashley randomly picked an aisle to start looking for cereal. What is the probability that she chose an odd-numbered aisle?.
8) Daniel had a six-sided number cube. Each side was labeled with one number, from 1 through 6. What is the probability that Jacob rolls a number less than 5?
9) William was playing a board game that had a spinner with six equal-sized sections. Three of the sections were red, two sections were blue, and one section was yellow. Find the probability that he landed on a purple section.
10) Grace wanted to pick a card randomly from a regular deck of 52 cards. Fifty of the cards were regular playing cards, and the rest of the cards were jokers. What is the probability that Grace picks a joker?
11) Sarah’s mom wrote the names of every day of the week on separate pieces of paper. Then she put the papers in a hat. Sarah will have ice cream for dessert on the day that she blindly picked from the hat. What is the probability that Sarah will have ice cream on that has six letters in its name?
12) David went to the carnival and played a game that had a bucket filled with balls numbered 1-10? He wins the game if he chooses a number that is divisible by four. What is the probability that David wins the game?
13) Alex was trying to guess the month of her brother’s birthday? She knew that the month started with the letter ‘J’. What is the probability that Alex guesses the correct month?
14) Samantha ran to the store to pick up some candy. The store had 12 aisles. Ashley randomly picked an aisle to start looking for cereal. What is the probability that she chose an aisle that is a factor of 24?
