1 Compound Probabilities using Multiplication and Simulation Lesson 4.5 Maya was making sugar cookies. She decorated them with one of two types of frosting (white or pink), one of three types of sprinkles (chocolate, rainbow or green) and one of two types of candy (peppermint or caramel). The tree diagram and list show the possible outcomes for the types of cookies Maya made. White Pink Chocolate Rainbow Green Chocolate Rainbow Green Possible Outcomes White, Chocolate, White, Chocolate, White, Rainbow, White, Rainbow, White, Green, White, Green, Pink, Chocolate, Pink, Chocolate, Pink, Rainbow, Pink, Rainbow, Pink, Green, Pink, Green, Maya made a total of 12 different cookies using her ingredients. Notice that the total number of outcomes is the product of the number of frosting options, sprinkle options and candy options (2 3 2 = 12). The Multiplication Counting Principle relates the number of choices to the number of outcomes. This principle helps identify the number of outcomes without having to show the possible outcomes in a list, tree diagram or table. Lesson 4.5 ~ Compound Probabilities using Multiplication and Simulation 135

2 Example 1 Ice cream sundaes at Gary s Creamery come in five flavors with four possible toppings. How many different sundaes can be made with one flavor of ice cream and one topping? Multiply the number of options for 4 5 = 20 ice cream with the number of options for toppings. There are a total of 20 possible sundaes. Example 2 Oregon issues license plates consisting of three letters and three numbers. There are 26 letters and the letters may be repeated. There are ten digits and the digits may be repeated. How many possible license plates can be issued with three letters followed by three numbers? The license plate has six total letters and numbers. The first three are letters (A-Z) followed by three numbers (0 9). Multiply the possibilities = 17,576,000 There are a total of 17,576,000 license plate options. Example 3 There are five students running a race. How many possible ways can they finish first, second and third? There are five students to choose from for first place. Now there are four left to choose from for second place and three left to choose from for third place. Multiply the possibilities = 60 There are a total of 60 different ways the students could finish first, second and third. When finding compound probabilities you must know the number of favorable outcomes and the number of possible outcomes in the sample space. You can use a list, tree diagram, table or the Multiplication Counting Principle to determine the number of favorable outcomes and possible outcomes. 136 Lesson 4.5 ~ Compound Probabilities using Multiplication and Simulation

3 Example 4 Ross has a bag of marbles that has three red, four blue and five green marbles. He chooses one marble, replaces it and then chooses a second marble. What is the probability he chose a red marble and then a green marble? Multiply to find the total number of = 144 outcomes possible. There are 12 marbles to choose from each draw. Multiply to find the number of favorable 3 5 = 15 outcomes. There are 3 possible red marbles to choose from in the first draw and 5 possible green marbles to choose from in the second draw. Find the probability. P(red then green) = 15 = The probability Ross chose a red marble and then a green marble is Example 5 A multiple choice test has five questions. Each question has four options to choose from. Marty randomly guesses on every problem. What is the probability he guessed correctly on each problem? Multiply to find the total number of = 1024 outcomes possible. There are 4 choices on each of the 5 questions. Multiply to find the number of favorable = 1 outcomes. There is 1 correct answer for each of the 5 questions. Find the probability. P(guess correctly) = The probability Marty guessed correctly on all the questions is about or 0.098%. Lesson 4.5 ~ Compound Probabilities using Multiplication and Simulation 137

4 Sometimes it is difficult to make a list, tree diagram or table to show all the possible outcomes. Other times the events depend on one another and so the Multiplication Counting Principle cannot give the number of outcomes in the sample space or the number of favorable outcomes. Simulations can give a good estimate for a probability when it is difficult to determine. A simulation is an experiment you use to model a situation. You can use coins, number cubes, random number generators or other objects to simulate events. The more trials you simulate, the better your estimate for a probability. The Explore! shows a simulation. explore! probability Simulation Ainsley has a bag of marbles that has three red, four blue and five green marbles. She chooses one marble, does not replace it and then chooses a second marble. What is the probability she chose a red marble and then a green marble? Step 1: To answer this question, you will perform a simulation. Place three red, four blue and five green marbles in a bag or box. Copy the frequency table below onto your paper. Red then Green? Yes No Step 2: Without looking, choose a marble from the bag or box. Place it on your desk. Then choose a second marble from the bag or box and set it on your desk. Write a tally in your frequency table under Yes if you picked a red marble and then a green marble. Write a tally under No if you did not pick a red marble and then a green marble. Return the marbles to the bag. Step 3: Continue the simulation until you have 10 results (tally marks). You have finished 10 trials. Compute the experimental probability below. Write the probability as a percent. P(Red then Green) = frequency of red and then green total number of trials Step 4: Continue the simulation 40 more times (total of 50 trials). Place a tally in the table showing each result. Compute the experimental probability again. Write the probability as a percent. P(Red then Green) = frequency of red and then green total number of trials Step 5: Compare the experimental probabilities within the class. What is your estimate for the probability Ainsley chooses a red marble and then a green marble? Why? Step 6: The theoretical probability that Ainsley will choose a red marble and then a green marble is approximately 11%. How close is your estimated probability from the experiment? What might make your estimate be closer to the theoretical probability for choosing red then green? 138 Lesson 4.5 ~ Compound Probabilities using Multiplication and Simulation
