Simple Probability Experiments
Explore simple probability experiments such as coin tosses, dice rolls, and spinners, and learn how to find sample spaces and calculate outcomes.
What You'll Learn
Identify the parts of a simple probability experiment: trial, outcome, and sample space
Apply the formula \( P(A) = \dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)} \) to find the probability of an event
List every possible outcome of a coin toss, a single die roll, or a spinner spin
Calculate probabilities for compound-sounding but still simple events like rolling an even number
Compare experimental results from repeated trials with theoretical probability predictions
Recognize equally likely outcomes and use them to simplify probability calculations
