Making Predictions with Probability

Probability measures how likely something is to happen, from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). Statistics help you analyze and interpret data.

Calculating Probability

Use: \[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Number of Outcomes}} \]

Data Displays

Learn to make and read graphs like bar charts, histograms, and box plots. Find measures of center (mean, median, mode) and spread (range).

Real-World Uses

Probability helps you decide if a game is fair, and statistics are handy for understanding survey results or sports stats.

Examples

  • Rolling a die and finding the probability of getting a 4.

  • Finding the mean score of a basketball team over five games.
