Practical Applications of Math- PROBABILITY

All probabilities should be written as simplified fractions.

  1. Choose a group of twelve people and collect their ages. Ideas for groups: your family, cast of a movie, family of a celebrity, etc. Your group must have people in at least three of the five categories [Children (0 - 12), Teen (13-19), Young Adult (20-34), Adult (35-60), Senior (60+)]. Make a table with column headings: Name, Age, Category.
  2. Assume that you put the names of each person into a hat and draw a single name. What are the odds in favor of you choosing someone from the teen category?
  3. Assume that you put the names of each person into a hat and draw a single name. What are the odds against you choosing a person from the adult category?
  4. Assume that you put the names of each person into a hat and draw a single name. What is the probability that you will choose a person in the senior or teen category?
  5. Assume that you put the names of each person into a hat and draw two names, with replacement. What is the probability of you choosing a person from the child category and then choosing someone from the adult category?
  6. Assume that you put the names of each person into a hat and draw two names, without replacement. What is the probability of choosing a person from the teen category and then choosing someone from the senior category?
  7. Assume that you put the names of each person into a hat and draw two names, without replacement. What is the probability of choosing a person from the young adult category and then choosing someone from the teen category?
