What is the probability that a student doesn’t have blue eyes? 70% = Notes: Predicting Outcomes date___ Math 7 Vocabulary: ‘Theoretical probabilty ~ What “should” happen when conducting an experiment Experimental probably What actually happens when conducting an experiment Examples: 1.) Part A: IF Jane i oling a fair 6-sded de, whats the probability of roling a 5? 2 Part B: If Jane rolled the die 30 times, how many times should she expect to rola 5? ba 5x25 times 2.) Part A: In a deck of 52 cards, what i the probabilty of getting a queen? = 2. Part B: If you picked from a deck 104 times, how many times should you expect to get a queen? = Sy x= 8times Part C: Harry picked a queen from a deck 9 out of 104 times. Compared to the theoretically probability, how did Harry do? Harry did better than expected, theoretically he should have selected it 8 times. 3.) Doug asked a random sample of 50 classmates whether they were interested in extending the school year. The results are shown in the table below. If there are 250 students in Doug's ‘school, how many students should he expect to favor extending the school year?

The coin landed on heads more times than expected. '5) Two number cubes are rolled together 20 times. A sum of 9is rolled 8 times. What is the experimental probability of rolling a sum of 9? 6) Compare the experimental probability you found in #5 to its theoretical probability.
