PURPOSE To determine the probability of a compound event using simple probability PROCESS Students may use simple probability by determining the number of favorable outcomes and comparing it to the number of possible outcomes Common Core State Standards Probability of Compound Events MACCS-CP Apply the Addition Rule, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model Also MACCS-CP MP, MP, MP, MP, MP Objectives To find probabilities of mutually exclusive and overlapping events To find probabilities of independent and dependent events FACILITATE q How many songs on the music device are rock songs? The portable music player at the right is set to choose a song at random from the playlist What is the probability that the next song played is a rock song by an artist whose name begins with the letter A? How did you find your answer? Start with a plan How many songs are there? How many are performed by an artist whose name begins with the letter A?
