Slide1

Use Probability to Predict

Core Focus on Proportions & Probability

Lesson 4.2Slide2

1.

Nano rolled a number cube 24 times. How many times would you predict he rolled a 3?2. Jen randomly placed 5 black socks, 4 brown socks, and 6 blue socks in her drawer. Find the probability that she picks a black sock if she chooses one sock from the drawer without looking.

3. Solve the proportion:

Warm-Up

4 times

x

= 4Slide3

Use Probability to Predict

Predict an outcome using experimental and theoretical probability.

Lesson 4.2Slide4

Explore! Capture / Recapture

The white beans represent salmon in the Columbia River in this experiment.

Step 1

Take out a handful of white beans and replace them with black beans. The black beans represent the tagged salmon. Record how many black beans are put into the bag with the white beans.

Number of tagged beans: __________Step 2 Mix the white and black beans together. Take out a small handful of beans. Record the total number of beans in the sample and how many are tagged.

Number of tagged (black) beans in handful: _______ Total number of beans in handful: _______

Step 3

Use the proportion below to estimate the total number of beans (x) that are actually in the bag. Use your information from Steps 1 and 2

to fill in the proportion and solve for x. Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Record it in the chart in

Step 4.Slide5

Step

4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 four more times to get five estimates for the number of beans originally in the bag. Copy and complete the chart to record your information.

Explore! Capture / Recapture

Step

5

Find the average of your five estimates in the chart above. Do this by finding the sum of all five estimates. Divide the sum by five (the number of estimates).

Step 6

Count and record all of the beans in the bag (white and black beans). Compare your count with your estimates and average.

Step 7 What do you think would happen to the average if you used 100 samples (handfuls) to estimate the actual number of beans in the bag? Slide6

Park Rangers estimated the number of deer in a section of Yellowstone National Park. The rangers tagged 20 deer in campgrounds and near hiking trails. The following week they recaptured 300 deer, 15 of which were tagged. Estimate the total number of deer in this section of Yellowstone National Park.

Let

x

= total number of deer. Write a proportion using the number of tagged deer recaptured to the total number of deer recaptured as one ratio.

Use cross products to solve.

15

x

= 6000 x = 400

There are about 400 deer in this section of Yellowstone National Park.

Example 1Slide7

Today at batting practice Lou hit 12 home runs out of the 40

pitches thrown to him. Use experimental probability to predict how many home runs he will hit tomorrow if he gets 30 pitches.Let x = number of home runs hit tomorrow.

Write a proportion.

Use cross products to solve.

40

x = 360 x = 9

He should hit about 9 home runs tomorrow.

Example 2Slide8

Suppose you tagged 10 penguins from a group of 40

penguins spotted in a certain area. How can you use this to estimate the total number of penguins in the area next month?Communication PromptSlide9

Grace hit 12 balls in the batting cage out of 20 pitches. Tomorrow she is going to go to the same batting cage and get 30 pitches. Use experimental probability to predict how many of the 30 pitches she will hit.

Exit ProblemGrace should hit about 18 pitches
