Math Probability Problems

This document contains 3 mathematics word problems involving experimental probability. The first problem has a student, Lito, throwing darts in 45 trials and recording the results. The second problem involves tossing a 3-sided coin 10 times and calculating probabilities of outcomes. The third problem involves tossing a 6-sided die 10 times and finding probabilities of certain results. For each problem, the student calculates the experimental probability of various events by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of trials.

MATHEMATICS 8

PROBLEM SET NO. 4


NAME : Jemsley Gavin I. Tan DATE: May 31, 2023
SECTION: 8 – St. Therese

DIRECTION: Simplify the following problems or events below and show your complete solutions.

1. Lito throws on the face of a dart in 45 trials for his P.E subject and he recorded his results.

Find the experimental probability of each event.


Number of Throws Color of Area Hit
a. Lito will hit blue
16 Blue
b. Lito will not hit black
12 White
c. Lito will hit red
8 Red
d. Lito will Neither hit white nor black
4 Green
e. Lito will hit White
5 Black

Solutions :

(solutions are estimated po)

a. P (blue) = 16/45 = 0.36 * 100 = 36%


b. P (not black) = 40/45 = 0.89 * 100 = 89%
c. P (red) = 8/45 = 0.18 * 100 = 18%
d. P (not white or black) = 28/45 = 0.62 * 100 = 62%
e. P (white) = 12/45 = 0.27 * 100 = 27%

2. Get a 3 coin and tossed it for 10 times.


Determine the experimental probability for each of the following events :
a. 3 Heads d. At least 1 Head g. 2 heads only
b. 1 Head only e. 3 Tails h. 2 tails only
c. at least 2 Tails f. 1 Tail only i. 1 head and 2 tails only
Trials :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
HHT HTT TTT THT THH HTH HHH HHH TTH TTH

Solutions :

a. P (3 heads) = 2/10 = 0.2 * 100 = 20%


b. P (1 head only) = 4/10 = 0.4 * 100 = 40%
c. P (at least 2 tails) = 4/10 = 0.4 * 100 = 40%
d. P (at least 1 head) = 9/10 = 0.9 * 100 = 90%
e. P (3 tails) = 1/10 = 0.1 * 100 = 10%
f. P (1 tail only) = 3/10 = 0.3 * 100 = 30%
g. P (2 heads only) = 3/10 = 0.3 * 100 = 30%
h. P (2 tails only) = 4/10 = 0.4 * 100 = 40%
i. P (1 head and 2 tails) = 4/10 = 0.4 * 100 = 40%
3. Get a dice and toss it for 10 times.
Determine the experimental probability for each of the following events :
a. getting an even number c. getting a 3 and 6 dots
b. getting an odd number d. not getting a 2 and 5 dots
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
4 1 5 2 4 6 5 6 1 1

Solutions :

a. P (even number) = 5/10 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%


b. P (odd number) = 5/10 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%
c. P (getting 3 and 6) = 2/10 = 0.2 * 100 = 20%
d. P (not getting 2 and 5) = 6/10 = 0.6 * 100 = 60%
