Inves gate the following, include references.

1. What is probability?
A probability is a number that re ects the chance or likelihood that a par cular event will occur. Probabili es
can be expressed as propor ons that range from 0 to 1, and they can also be expressed as percentages
ranging from 0% to 100%.

2. What nota on is used?

The nota on used for probability is typically denoted by P(event), where P stands for "probability" and
"event" refers to the speci c outcome or set of outcomes being considered.

3. Give 3 examples on how to calculate probability. (cards, marbles, etc.)

1. Drawing a Card: Suppose you have a standard deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability of
drawing a heart?
2. Rolling a Die: Suppose you roll a six-sided die. What is the probability of rolling a 3?
3. Selec ng Marbles: Suppose you have a bag containing 4 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 2 green
marbles. If you select one marble at random, what is the probability of selec ng a blue marble?

4. What is condi onal probability?

Condi onal probability, the probability that an event occurs given the knowledge that another event
has occurred.

5. How are tree diagrams used in condi onal probability?

Tree diagrams are a useful tool for visualizing condi onal probability problems, as they allow us to break
down complex events into simpler, more manageable components.

6. Give a complete example of a condi onal probability problem

 Suppose you have two bags of marbles. Bag A contains 3 red marbles and 7 blue marbles, while bag B
contains 6 red marbles and 4 blue marbles. You randomly select one of the bags, and then randomly
select a marble from that bag. What is the probability that the marble you selected is red, given that
you selected bag A?
