Probability and Data

Predicting Outcomes and Understanding Information

Math isn't just about numbers—it's about making predictions and understanding the world! Probability shows you how likely something is to happen, and data helps you make sense of information.

Probability Basics

Probability is the chance of an event happening, from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).

  • Probability formula: \( \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total possible outcomes}} \)

Working with Data

  • Mean: The average.
  • Median: The middle value.
  • Mode: The most frequent value.

Real-World Applications

  • Predicting the weather.
  • Understanding sports statistics.

Fun Fact

Probability helps you make better choices—like when to bring an umbrella!

Examples

  • Calculating the chance of drawing a red marble from a bag.

  • Finding the average test score for your class.

In a Nutshell

Probability and data help you predict, understand, and make decisions in uncertain situations.
