Probability model

• a description of some random process that consists of two parts, the sample space and the probability for each outcome

• any collection of outcomes from some random process

A sports bag contains 3 tennis balls, 4 baseballs, and 8 golf balls. Each is equally likely to be chosen. Which of the following models could be used to simulate this situation?

• flipping a coin fifteen times

• spinning a spinner with three equal sections

• choosing from 3 red marbles, 4 yellow marbles, and 8 blue marbles

• rolling a number cube labeled one through six fifteen times

Match the following probability types to their definitions.

• Dependent probability

• When two events do not change each other's probability

• Independent probability

• What we think is going to happen based on math when we do something like flip a coin

• Experimental probability

• What actually happened based on our data

• Theoretical probability

• When one event changes the entire probability space for the next event

A bag contains 4 red marbles, 7 blue marbles and 5 green marbles. what is the Theoretical probability of NOT choosing a red marble if the answer was to be simplified.
