STATISTICS

The practice of collecting

and analyzing numerical
data in large quantities,
especially for the
purpose of inferring
proportions in a whole
from those in a
representative sample.
PROBABILIT
Y
It is a measure of the
likelihood of an event to
occur.

It is the chance that

something will happen. 
Experiment Outcome

It is the probability activity. It is the result of the probability

activity.
Sample Space Event

It is the set of all possible It is the subset of the sample

outcomes. space.

Computing Probabilities

where:

𝑷 ( 𝑬 )- probability of an event
𝒏( 𝑬 )- number of favorable outcomes
𝒏 (𝑺 )- total number of outcomes
Example 1

In tossing a coin, what is the probability of getting a head?

Solution:

= =
𝟏 𝒐𝒓 𝟓𝟎%
𝟐
{ 𝐻 ,𝑇 }
Example 2
In tossing 2 coins, what is the probability of getting a head
and a tail?
Solution:

= 𝟐 𝟏 𝒐𝒓 𝟓𝟎%
= =
𝟒 𝟐
{ 𝐻𝐻 , 𝐻𝑇 ,𝑇𝐻 , 𝑇𝑇 }
 Example 3
In picking a colored marble inside a jar, what is the probability
of getting a blue marble?

Solution:

= 3
= 𝒐𝒓 𝟏𝟓%
𝟐𝟎
Example 4
In a standard deck of cards, what is the probability of
getting a face card?

Solution:

= 𝟏𝟐 𝟑
= = 𝒐𝒓 𝟐𝟑.𝟎𝟖 %
𝟓𝟐 𝟏𝟑
Example 5
In a standard deck of cards, what is the probability of
getting a diamond card?

Solution:

= 𝟏𝟑 𝟏
= = 𝒐𝒓 𝟐𝟓%
𝟓𝟐 𝟒
Example 6
In rolling a die, what is the probability of getting a “5”?

Solution:

= 𝟏
= 𝒐𝒓 𝟏𝟔.𝟔𝟕 %
𝟔
{ 1 ,2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 }
Example 7
In rolling two dice, what is the probability of getting a
sum of 12?
Solution:

= 𝟏
= 𝒐𝒓 𝟐.𝟕𝟖%
𝟑𝟔
(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6)
(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6)
(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)
Example 8
In rolling a die and tossing a coin, what is the probability
of getting a 6 and a tail?
Solution:

𝟏 𝟏 𝟏 𝒐𝒓 𝟖.𝟑𝟑%
= =
𝟔 𝟐 𝟏𝟐
“and” means multiplication
Example 9
In rolling a die and tossing a coin, what is the probability
of getting a 2 or a head?
Solution:

𝟏 𝟏 𝟖 𝟐
=
𝟔
+¿ 𝟐
=
𝟏𝟐
=
𝟑
“or” means addition
