By now you should have competed chapter 15A, 15B and 15C. These three chapters will give you great understanding for what we are covering in 15E.

The below videos will help you with the understanding of theoretical probability. They contain examples and step by step guide to solving worded problems. These can help you if you are still stuck with how to solve for theoretical probability.

I will be coming to around to each of you to discuss how you are progressing with the chapters so far and if you are stuck with a certain part of probability. I will help you so you are able to move forward.

Below is the link to Chapter 15E where you need to cover questions 1 - 10. 

These questions need to be completed as home learning as you will not finish them during class.

We will start class by discussing what favourable outcomes are and what possible outcomes are. How they are different, how to identify them and their definitions.

The theoretical probability of an event is given by the rule:

number of favourable outcomes Pr(event) = number of favourable outcomes
                                                                               number of possible outcomes

We will go over how to use the above rule in a few examples and you will copy these down to refer back to. The examples we will use together will be basic nad the question you work through today in class will gradually extend you and get more difficult as you go.
