 Things to Ponder!!!

In a color dice game, what

is the likelihood to win
Would it
this game? be possible to
be certain in winning
If you
this were the
game? color

game host, what will you
do to lessen the chance of
the player in winning the
game?
Remember!

In a BETTING GAME (Gambling), it is not sure

that you are going to earn money instantly.

The best way to do is to SAVE money and be

THRIFTY than wasting money in gambling
with less chance of winning.
What is Probability?

PROBABILITY OF TRUTH
The probability of truth to hurt is
for a little while. However, the
probability of lie to hurt is
forever.
Probability Terms
EXPERIMENTS- activities such as tossing a coin or rolling a dice
without looking which could be repeated over and over again and
which have well-defined results

OUTCOMES- results in the experiments

SAMPLE SPACE- total number of possible outcomes in an event

EVENT- subset of a sample space

SAMPLE POINT- a single outcome

 TRUE OR FALSE
Probability of cancer to be cured
is 7.5
The probability of comets to fall
on earth is 1.
The probability of a ice to float in
water is 0.
The probability of the Philippines to
be Federalism Government is -0.2.
