Probability Review

Today our class learned a NEW concept! The root word in this concept is PROBABLE, if you thought it was PROBABILITY then you are correct. Just in case you forgot this should help you out. Today we played "WHAT'S THE CHANCE?" game with picking coloured lollipops out of the bag.

This Probability question is about a "group" of lollipops.
There are 10 lollipops in TOTAL
How would you input the data of lollipops into a fraction from the information provided below???






5 Red Lollipops

3 Blue Lollipops

2 Purple Lollipops

If you were to convert the fractions of the coloured lollipops into a probability sentence, it would sound like this:

There are 5 Red Lollipops out of 10 Lollipops in total
There are 3 Blue Lollipops out of 10 Lollipops in total
There are 2 Purple Lollipops out of 10 Lollipops in total

If you still do not understand, see me in class. Next we will learn how to convert these probabilty fractions into a PERCENTAGE.
