We will have a short probability math quiz this Thursday. Duotangs will be sent home each night for review. The following should be practised:
- the probability of an event (using the words: likely, unlikely, impossible, certain and equally likely)
- the probability of experiments
- the difference between fair and unfair games.
I will post sample questions this week.
Here is today's problem:
In a bag I put counters.
There are 2 red, 3 purple, 8 yellow.
What is the probability that I will pull out a yellow counter?
Is this a fair game? Remember to use math word to explain your thinking!
