Probability Simulation

Front

What is probability simulation?

Back

Probability simulation is a method used to model and analyze the likelihood of different outcomes in a random process by using physical or computational models.

Front

What is a spinner in probability?

Back

A spinner is a circular device divided into sections, each representing a different outcome. It is used to simulate random events.

Front

How can rolling a die simulate probability?

Back

Rolling a die can simulate probability by representing different outcomes, where each face of the die corresponds to a possible result.

Front

What does it mean to flip a coin in probability?

Back

Flipping a coin is a simple random experiment with two possible outcomes: heads or tails, often used to demonstrate basic probability.

Front

What is the purpose of using multiple trials in probability simulation?

Back

Using multiple trials helps to obtain a more accurate estimate of the probability of an event by averaging the results over many attempts.

Front

How can you represent multiple-choice questions using probability simulation?

Back

You can represent multiple-choice questions by using a spinner or die that corresponds to the number of choices available for each question.

Front

What is the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual results from trials.

Front

How can you simulate choosing one item from a group?

Back

You can simulate choosing one item from a group by using a spinner, rolling a die, or drawing from a set of items.

Front

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

What does it mean to have equally likely outcomes?

Back

Equally likely outcomes mean that each outcome has the same chance of occurring in a probability experiment.
