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 how many customers do not buy DVD's?

 

  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

red

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 ends up being

close to the

  Theoretical probability

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
