Probability – Week 8 – Term 3

KIA ORA !!!!

Today I will be talking about probability the lesson I have been learning since the middle of the term, I also learned so many things in maths, and down below shows what I have learned about probability.

Here are the topics that we did at the start of term 3.

  • Location and Navigation
  • Bearings
  • Grid Reference
  • Cartesian Coordinates.

Probability

  • Describing chances
  • Fractions, Decimals, Percentages
  • Basic Probability
  • Sample space
  • Experimental Probability/ Relative Frequency
  • Expected number

There are more topics but the class has done only 6 lessons on probability so I am pretty proud of myself for doing at least that much work I have learned a lot about probability it’s like at the moment we’re learning about the expected number of what expected number it is?

We can calculate the number of times a successful trial is expected to occur given the relative frequency and the total number of trials.

Let’s use algebra to rearrange our original equation:

p(E) = no of successful outcomes / no of trials

Therefore:

no of successful outcomes = p(E) * no of trials

Example: We know that drawing a red marble from our marble bag has an experimental probability of 0.4. If we draw a marble 30 times, how many do we expect to be red?

No successful outcomes = p(E) * no of trials
No  successful outcomes = 0.4 * 30
No successful outcomes = 12
