How many would you expect to get:
a. Less than 7 hours of sleep per day
b. 7 hours of sleep per day
c. 8 hours of sleep per day
d. 9 or more hours of sleep per day
Answer:
a. 22% of 1 500 000 = 330,000 people sleep a day in less
than 7 hours
b. 28% of 1 500 000 = 420,000 people sleep a day in 7
hours
c. 38% of 1 500 000 = 570,000 people sleep a day in 8

Let’s have a play
Divide the pupils into four groups.
The title of the game "Play Coin".
Each pupil will take turns in
flipping the coin. The pupil will
record the time they got a head and
the time they got a tail. Each pupil
will be given two chances to flip the
coin. After that they will tell the
class the result of their findings.
How would you describe probability?
Probability - is the likelihood that an event
will happen. The closer the probability of
an event to 1, the more likely or the
higher the chances of an event will happen.
The closer the probability of an event to 0,
the more unlikely or impossible the event
will happen. If the probability of an event
is 1/2, it is equally likely (50-50 chance) of
an event to occur or happen.

0 ½ 1

Problem:
In a box are 1 yellow, 2 blue, and 3 green cards. If i draw a
card from the box without looking, what is the
likelihood that i will get a yellow card, a blue card, or a
