Theoretical Probability:
when all outcomes are equally likely
Example: flipping a coin or rolling a number cube
# favorable outcomes
Theoretical Probability =
total number of outcomes
You and your friends designed T-shirts with silk screened emblems, and you are selling the T-shirts to
raise money. The table below shows the number of T-shirts you have in each design. A student chooses a
T-shirt at random.
Gold Emblem Silver
Emblem
Green TShirt 10 8
Red Tshirt 6 6
b) What is the probability the student chooses a shirt with a gold emblem?

Example 5
A bag contains one blue, one green, one yellow, and one red ball. A ball is drawn at random
from the bag and then replaced. The table shows the results for 24 drawings. For which
color of ball is the experimental probability the same as the theoretical probability?

Objective: To find the odds in favor or
the odds against of events occurring.

Odds in Favor: Number of Favorable Outcomes
Number of Unfavorable Outcomes
Odds Against: Number of Unfavorable Outcomes
Number of Favorable Outcomes
Example 1
In a bag there are 3 green marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 2 red marbles.
