Do Nows
1. Charlie Manuel (manager of the Phillies) needs to select a batting order for tonight's ball game. If there are
only nine players to choose from, set up an expression that determines how many possibilities he has.
2. An experiment is run to determine the probability of selecting a card less than 5 (including aces) in a standard
deck of cards. Thirty people each chose one card, but there were still five cards less than 5 left that were not
selected.
a) What is the theoretical probability of selecting a card less than 5?
b) What is the experimental probability of selecting a card less than 5?
c) Are the two probabilities comparable?

Choosing a jock OR a musician
Not choosing a jock
Word to the Term
Mutually Exclusive: Events with no common outcomes
Overlapping: Events with at least one common outcome
Mutually Exclusive or Overlapping?
Rolling a dice
Getting an even or a prime
Getting a 2 or a multiple of 3
Getting a number less than 5 or a prime
Deck of cards
Getting a face card or an ace
Getting a red card or a king
Getting a spade or a face card
The Problems with “OR”
P
(A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B)
Find the probability that I pick a random student from this class that
has brown hair or is a girl.
Remember: 52 Cards in a Deck
Find the Probability that you choose a Queen or an Ace
Find the Probability that you choose a King or a Club
Mutually Exclusive or Overlapping?
Rolling a dice
Getting an even or a prime
Getting a multiple of 3 or a two
Getting a number less than 5 or a prime
Deck of cards
Getting a face card or an ace
Getting a red card or a king
Getting a spade or a face card
Do Nows
1. State the P(A or B) formula:
2. What is the probability of rolling a dice and getting a
prime or a six?
3. What is the probability of selecting a card from a deck
that is a face or more than 6
4. Based off of #2 and #3, how can you determine which
probability is mutually exclusive?
Multiple Experiments
When running two or more experiments, the issue of replacement can effect
the outcomes.
Independent: One event having no impact on another event
Dependent: One event being influenced by another event
The Jelly Bean Experiment
5 Green, 3 blue, 6 orange, and 2 brown jellybeans are placed in a
bag. Find the following probabilities:
Pick an orange, replace it, then pick a blue.
Pick an orange, eat it, then pick a blue.
Pick three consecutive greens without replacement
Pick three consecutive browns with replacement
Independently Dependent
Mr. Cella is wheelin’-and-dealin’! What is the probability that he
chooses a Jack, replaces the card, then draws a King?
What if he doesn’t replace the Jack?
