Create a scenario from your own experiences that can be used to model a probability question using permutations (note: multiple categories are required). Solve your problem showing and explaining each step in the five step process outlined in the instructions.. Five Steps for a solution to a Probability Problem: Step 1: Define the Experiment (note this is a description of the activity that is causing results. Step 2: Describe the Sample Space (note: this can be done by explicitly listing elements in the sample space - which is unlikely or counting the elements providing n(S)). Are the outcomes in the Sample Space equally likely? Step 3: Describe the Event of interest. When providing this description, include the mutually exclusive and exhaustive categories you are using, and phrase the Event in terms of those categories, integers along with the words: not/and/or Step 4: Determine the number of elements in the Event Step 5: Determine the probability of the Event (note: if the outcomes are equally likely, then we use the relative frequency formula: P(E) = - n(E) n (S)
