Study Notes
- Grade 7: Experiments and Outcomes
Essential Questions
- What different ways are there to collect data?
- When is each data collection method most appropriate?
- How can tables and graphs assist with identifying patterns and trends in data?
- How can data collected from experiments answer questions about the real world?
Learning Target
- Data can be collected from experiments such as counting the number of heads when tossing a coin multiple times.
- Prime numbers can be counted when rolling a die multiple times.
Die
- A die is a throwable object with multiple faces marked with numbers.
- It generates random outcomes in games of chance.
- Each of the six faces is marked with a different number of spots (pips), ranging from 1 to 6.
Performing an Experiment
- Spinning a wheel is an experiment.
Experiment and Outcomes
- An experiment is a chance process that leads to well-defined results.
- These results are called outcomes.
- Example: Spinning a wheel, with outcomes of landing on red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or violet.
- Example of rolling a die, with outcomes of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
- Example of tossing a coin, with outcomes of head or tail.
Playing Cards
- A deck of standard playing cards contains 52 cards used for various card games.
- The suits are:
- Hearts: 13 cards
- Diamonds: 13 cards
- Clubs: 13 cards
- Spades: 13 cards
Deck of Cards Example
- Experiment: Drawing a card from a deck of cards.
- Outcomes: Enumeration of all 52 cards.
- Hearts: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K
- Diamonds: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K
- Clubs: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K
- Spades: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K
Outcome, an Event and, Sample Space
- An outcome is the result of a single trial of an experiment.
- An event is a set of outcomes that satisfies a given condition.
- An event can be:
- A set of a single outcome
- A set of many outcomes
- A set of all outcomes
- A sample space is a set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
- Each element in a sample space is called a sample point.
Experiment 1: Spinning a Wheel
- Sample Space: S = {blue, violet, red, orange, yellow, green}.
- Event:
- Landing on blue
- Landing not on blue
- Outcome:
- {blue}
- {violet, red, orange, yellow, green}
- Sample Point: blue, violet, red, orange, yellow, green.
Experiment 2: Tossing a Fair Die
- Sample Space: S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
- Event:
- Landing on even numbers
- Landing on odd numbers
- Outcome:
- {2, 4, 6}
- {1, 3, 5}
- Sample Point: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Experiment 3: Tossing a Fair Coin and then Rolling a Fair Die
- Sample Space: S= {H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4,T5, T6}
Experiment 4: Tossing a Fair Coin Thrice
- Sample Space: S= {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
