STEAM K-2 Probability Put Backs On the charts below, write A, S, or N on the line to show how often you do the task. If you always do it write A, if you sometimes do it write S, if you never do it write N. Use the charts below to determine what is certain to happen, likely, unlikely, or impossible to happen. Explain your reasoning. Ex: Pull a blue ball: likely, because half the balls are blue 1. Pull an orange ball: ________________________________________________________ 2. Pull a black ball: __________________________________________________________ 3. Pull an orange or blue ball: __________________________________________________ 4. Pull a red ball: ____________________________________________________________ 5. Pull a ball: _______________________________________________________________ 1. Pull an orange ball: ________________________________________________________ 2. Pull a ball: _______________________________________________________________ 3. Pull a black ball: __________________________________________________________ 4. Pull an orange or blue ball: __________________________________________________ 5. Pull a green ball: ____________________________________________________________ STEAM 3-5 Probability Put Backs Outcome: a possible result of an activity. Probability: a measure of how likely a specific outcome will occur. Probability (P) = number of a specific outcome/ number of possible outcomes Converting fractions to percentages: P x 100 = % Coach Abe is practicing his rebounding and put-backs. Below are graphs that illustrate the total number of shots Abe took broken up into how many he made with his right hand, how many he made with his left hand, and how many he missed. Use the graphs to answer the following questions. What is the probability of: 1. Coach Abe missing a shot Convert your answer to a percentage. 2. Coach Abe making a shot with his left hand 3. Coach Abe making a shot with his right hand 4. Coach Abe either missing it or making it with his right hand 5. Coach Abe making it with either his right or left hand 6. Coach Abe either missing it or making it with his left hand What is the probability of: 1. Coach Abe missing a shot Convert your answer to a percentage. 2.
