Chance

Lesson 1: Introduction to Chance and


Sample Space
Learning Intentions

• To determine the sample space for simple


experiments with equally likely outcomes
and assign probabilities to those outcomes.
Co-constructed Success Criteria

• I can construct sample spaces for single-step


experiments with equally likely outcomes.

• I can assign probabilities to the outcomes of events and


find probabilities for events.
I do –
Chance
There are many different
events taking place in
everyday life that involve
chance. For example, what is
the chance of it raining
tomorrow? Is there a high
chance or low chance? Maybe
it is a 50-50 chance.
Probability
• What is the probability of
our team winning
basketball on the
weekend?
• What is the chance dad
will take us to a movie?
• What is the probability
that mum cooks my
favourite pasta tonight?
• Others?
We do – Sample
Space

A list of all possible outcomes is


called sample space and is
represented by the capital
letter S. The number of
outcomes in the sample space
is represented by n(S).
We do –
Sample Space
Example: 
Tossing a coin:

S = {heads, tails}


n(S) = 2
S = {head, tail}
n(S) = 2/There is a total
of 2 possible outcomes.
You do –
Sample Space

1. Tossing a single die:

2. Tossing 2 coins:

3. Choosing a letter
from the alphabet:

4. Choosing a playing
card:
Mangahigh

• List all possible


outcomes from a
single event.
Story of our Lesson
Basic Number Skills
Program

• Race to 1000 using 10x tables. Roll a dice


and multiply by 10. Continuously add the
number until you reach 1000.
