Experimental Probability and Complimentary Events

A store sells 28% of its DVD's to all

people that come into the shop.

What percentage of people do not buy DVD's?

 28%
 72%
 128%
 60%

42% of customers do not buy DVD's. 

2000 people come into the store.

What would you put into your calculator to

find the answer?

 

  2000 ÷ 42%

  42% × 2000

 

  2000 ÷ 58%
  58% × 2000

I tossed a dice 20 times and got the following

results.

What is my experimental probability of getting

a six on my next roll?

I spun a spinner and found the following

results. What is the experimental probability

of my next spin landing on red?

red

blue

4

The probability of my spinner landing on blue

is  1/5.  If I spin the spinner 200 times, how

many times would I guess it would land on blue?

 4/5  ×  200  =  160
  200
 1/5  ×  200  = 40

If an experiment goes on for a long time,

the experimental probability often end up being

close to the

  Theoretical probability
 reindeer
 1

To find the compliment of an event in probability

you just

 State the same thing
 State the opposite of the event
 State how pretty it is

The compliment of tossing a die and getting

a 4 is:

 Tossing a die and getting a 1,2,3,5 or 6
 Tossing a die and getting a 3
  Tossing a die and losing

Another way of stating the compliment of

tossing a die and getting a 4 is:

 Tossing a die and not getting a four
 Tossing a die and getting a 1
  Tossing a die and winning

The compliment of a horse winning a race is

  The horse not winning the race
 The horse coming in second

 The horse turning into a chicken
