3.1 Terminology 1. Probability is a measure of the chance (likelyhood) of certain results (outcomes) to occur from a particular experiment or an activity. 2. A probability has a value between ...and 3. Probability = 1 means that certain outcomes are guaranteed to result, and probability that the outcomes never occur. = 0 means 4. What are outcomes when you flip a fair coin? 5. An event of an experiment is and denoted by a upper case letter. 6. The sample space of an experiment is the set of 7. The probability of an event A is written P(A). 8. When we consider the probability of an event, it always involves an experiment (or an activity) and its sample space. So, identifying the sample space is important to find the probability. It is so especially when all outcomes have the same chance to happen.
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
