8 Real Life Examples Of Probability

Probability has something to do with a chance. It is the study of

things that might happen or might not. We use it most of the time,
usually without thinking of it. We don’t perform actual probability
problems in our daily life but use subjective probability to
determine the course of action or any judgment. Everything from
the weather forecasting to our chance of dying in an accident is a
probability.

Probability is a mathematical term for the likelihood that

something will occur. It is the ability to understand and estimate
the likelihood of any different combination of outcomes.

Let’s discuss some real-life

examples of Probability

1. Weather Forecasting
Before planning for an outing or
a picnic, we always check the
weather forecast. Suppose it says
that there is a 60% chance that
rain may occur. Do you ever
wonder from where this 60% come from? Meteorologists use a specific
tool and technique to predict the weather forecast. They look at all the
other historical database of the days, which have similar characteristics
of temperature, humidity, and pressure, etc. And determine that on 60
out of 100 similar days in the past, it had rained.

2. Batting Average in Cricket

Batting average in Cricket represents how
many runs a batsman would score before
getting out. For example, if a batsman had
scored 40 runs out of 100 from boundaries in
the previous match. Then, there is a chance
that he would score 40% of his runs in the
next match from boundaries.

3. Politics
Many politics analysts use the tactics of
probability to predict the outcome of the
election’s results. For example, they may
predict a certain political party to come into
power; based on the results of exit polls.

4. Flipping a coin or Dice

Flipping a coin is one of the most important
events before the start of the match. There is no
surety, either head will come or not. Both head
and tail have 1 out of 2, i.e., 50% chances to
occur. Hence, the probability of getting the
desired outcome is 0.5. Similarly, while playing
with dice, there are 1 out of 6 chances, that the
required number will come.

5. Insurance
Probability helps in analyzing the best plan of
insurance which suits you and your family the
most. For example, you are an active smoker,
and chances of getting lungs disease are
higher in you. So, instead of choosing an
insurance scheme for your vehicle or house,
you may go for your health insurance first,
because the chance of your getting sick are
higher. For instance, nowadays people are
getting their mobile phones insured because they know that the chances
of their mobile phones getting damaged or lost are high.

6. Are we likely to die in an accident?

Rates of car accidents have increased rapidly in
the past decades. For example, if a city has a
population of one lakh, and the death rate in car
accidents is 500. So, the chance of being killed
in a crash is 500/1 lakh is 0.05%. Thus, a
person has a 0.05% chance to die in a car
accident.

7. Lottery Tickets
Winning or losing a lottery is one of the
most interesting examples of probability. In
a typical Lottery game, each player chooses six distinct numbers from a
particular range. If all the six numbers on a ticket match with that of the
winning lottery ticket, the ticket holder is a Jackpot winner- regardless of
the order of the numbers. The probability of this happening is 1 out of 10
lakh.

8. Playing Cards
There is a probability of getting a desired card
when we randomly pick one out of 52. For
example, the probability of picking up an ace in a
52 deck of cards is 4/52; since there are 4 aces in
the deck. The odds of picking up any other card is
therefore 52/52 – 4/52 = 48/52.

Probability is the branch of mathematics

concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or
how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a
number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates
impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

Let’s study the sample problem below. Let’s try to answer the
situations that involves probability.

Explanation:
Since there are 12 months in a year, so there are 12 possible
outcomes. There are 3 months that starts with letter J: January,
June, and July.

The following important points so that you will be guided on how

to make simple predictions of events based on the results of
experiments and in solving routine and non-routine problems
involving experimental and theoretical probability.

Probability is used to describe how likely or unlikely it is that

something will happen. Probability will be given in fraction,
decimal or percent. The value of probability ranges from 0 to 1(0
means the event is impossible to happen, while 1 means the event
is certain to happen.)

Possible outcomes are each of the outcomes that could result from
an experiment.

Theoretical and Experimental probability:

When we use a formula to find the probability of an event, we are
finding the theoretical probability. Theoretical probability of an
event is the number of ways that an event can occur divided by the
total number of outcomes. Theoretical probability is what we
expect to happen.

Formula:

Theoretical Probability

We can also find the theoretical probability of an event.

Example:
A bag contains 10 red marbles, 8 blue marbles and 2 yellow marbles.
Find the theoretical probability of getting a blue marble.

Solution:
There are 8 blue marbles. Therefore, the number of favorable
outcomes = 8.
There are a total of 20 marbles. Therefore, the number of total
outcomes = 20

8 2
P= ÷4 P=
20 5

Experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of times

an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is
performed. We can also find the probability of an event by doing an
experiment. When we do this, we are finding experimental probability.
Experimental probability is what actually happen when we try it out.

Experimental probability is used in most real-life situations when the

probabilities cannot be determined theoretically.
As more trials conducted, the experimental probability generally gets
closer to the theoretical probability.
Sample exercise in finding the theoretical probability:
1. There are 6 possible ways for a die (singular of dice) to turn up. What
is the probability of rolling a 1? a 2? a 5?

Sample exercise in finding the experimental probability:

1. A bag contains 12 red marbles, 8 blue marbles, and 4 yellow
marbles. Find the experimental probability of getting a blue
marble.

Solution:
Take a marble from the bag.
Record the color and return the marble in the bag.
Repeat the process (at least 10 times).

Count the number of times a blue marble was picked (suppose it is

4).
Using the formula we have,
