Dependent Event -Probability Notes
‘Theoretical probability) is the chance that some event will occur.
It is based on known characteristics or facts. You can use a ratio to
find probability.
Theoretical Probability
Words The theoretical probability of an event is a ratio that
‘compares the number of favorable outcomes to the number
of possible outcomes. |
Symbols P(event) = "umber of fav
The probability that an event will occur is a number from 0 to 1,
including 0 and 1. The closer a probability is to 1, the more likely
it is to happen.
To occur ‘equally likely to occur ‘certain to occur

Make a tree diagram to show the sample space for rolling a die and
choosing a block from the bag.
How many outcomes are possible?
What is the probability of rolling a 5 on the die?
What is the probability of getting a yellow block?
Use the tree diagram to find the P (5 and yellow).
What is the relationship between P(5), P(yellow), and P(5 & yellow)?
Two or more events in which the outcome of one event does
not affect the outcome of the other event are independent
events,
To find the probability of independent events, multiply the P
(1° event) and the P (2 event).
Ex: A number cube is rolled and the spinner is spun. Find the
robability of rolling an even number and spinning a 4.

while on a nature walk.

Each person reaches into his bag and randomly selects an object.
Find the probability that Scott chooses an acorn and Tyrone chooses
a stone.Dependent Events
If the outcome of one event affects the outcome of a second event, the
events are called dependent events.
za aa Probability of Two Dependent Events
Words The probability of two dependent events is the probability of
the first event times the probability that the second event
‘occurs after the first.
Symbols P(A and B) = P(A) - P{B following A)

pulls out two socks, what is the probability that he picks two blue socks?Independent and Dependent Events
‘A compound event consists of two or more simple events. the outcome of one event does not afloct
the outoome of a second event, the evens are called Independent events. The probably of two
Independent events can be feund by multiplying the probability ofthe fist event by the probabil of
the second event. the outcome of ane event afects the outcome ofa second event, the events are
caled dependent events.
