Name_________________________ Period____ How to use PROBABILITY to

Review for 1st Semester Final Exam 2017 make predictions:

How to find reasonable answers: Example:

Example: If you roll a die 28 times, how many times do

you predict to roll an even number?
You buy 3 shirts that cost between $10 and
$16 and 4 pairs of pants that cost between
$18 and $20. Whats the best reasonable
amount that you would expect to pay?

Now You:
If you spin a spinner divided into 5 equal
parts, and each part is labeled A, B, C,
Now you: D, and E, 95 times, how many times do
you predict landing on a vowel?
You buy 5 used video games that cost
between $21 and $25 and 8 new games that
cost between $40 and $44. How much is the
best reasonable amount that you would
expect to pay?

How to use a SCALE FACTOR

---------------------------------------------------------------------- to create a similar figure:
Example:
How to turn percents to decimals:
A triangles sides measure (1) 3.5 cm, (2) 2.7
Examples: cm, and (3) 1.4 cm. If it is dilated by a scale
Convert 46% to decimal factor of 5.1, what would be the new triangle
created by that scale factor?
Convert 9% to decimal
Convert 0.3 to percent
Convert 0.345 to percent

Now You:
Now you: A rectangle has a length of 6.8 feet by 4.6 feet
and it is dilated by 0.2 to create a smaller
Convert 92% to decimal
rectangle. What is the size of the new rectangle?
Convert 7.2% to decimal
Convert 0.4 to percent
Convert 0.495 to percent
How to turn a FRACTION or How to find a percent of a
RATIO to a PERCENT number to calculate discounts:
Example: Example:

I have answered 45 questions out of 80 My shopping at the GAP would have cost me
questions on my test. What percent of $153 before a 20% discount. How much did I
questions have I completed? pay?

Now you:
Now you:
Mr. Zarates 1st period has 9 girls out of 21
students, while his second period has 8 girls You buy a computer for $250 and a cell phone
out of 19 students. Convert the two ratios to for $159. If they have a 15% sale if you buy two
percents to prove which period has a greater items, how much do you pay?
percentage of girls.

How to interpret parts of a circle How to set up proportions to find

graph: missing sides of similar shapes:
True or false? Example: Sides BA = 4u; ED = 8u;

a) Cats and Fish make up 50% of the FD = 12u, What is CA?

pet population
b) Rodents and fish make up less than
25%
of the pet population

Now you: Side BC = 9u; CA = 12 u;

FD = 36 units, What is FE?
Now you:
Draw a circle graph to show expenses as
follow: Housing 40%, Utilities 25%, Food
20%, Car 10%, Other 5% and write 3 true
statements about your own circle graph.
Set up proportions to find missing
information of equal ratios or
rate:
Example:
Robert can swim 8 laps in 2.5 minutes, how
long would it take him to swim 22 laps?
Now you:
A hawk can fly an average of 40 miles per
hour. At this rate, how far would it fly in 17
minutes?
-----------------------------------------------------------
How to use proportions to
convert within customary units:
Example: How many cups are in 3
gallons?
Now you:
How many feet is 58 inches?
___________________________________
How to use proportions to find
distances given a SCALE:
Example:
On a map, the distance between Houston
and New Orleans measures 7 inches. If the
scale used on that map is 1 inch: 50 miles,
how far is New Orleans from Houston?
Now you:
If you build model airplane of a plane that is
92 feet long, using a scale of 3 inches = 5
feet, how long must your scale be?

How to use a SAMPLE to make
PREDICTONS:
20 families were asked what type of pet was
their favorite. 13 preferred Dogs, 5 chose
Cats, and 2 said Fish. Based on these
results, how many families would prefer
Cats if 80 families were surveyed?
Now you:
A survey of random students had 11
students choose MATH as their favorite
school subject, 5 chose SCIENCE, 3
READING, 6 SOCIAL STUDIES and 5
others chose NONE. Based on this survey,
how many students would prefer MATH out
of 150 students?
___________________________________
How to find all COMBINATIONS
Example:
You can choose a truck from Toyota or
Nissan, each with 2 or 4 doors, and they
come in red, black, or white. How many
different trucks do you have to choose?
Now you:
You can choose a cellphone by Apple,
Samsung, or LG. Each comes in red, gold,
or pink. You can also choose a metal or
plastic case. How many combinations do
you have to choose from?
How to find the PROBABILITY of
a SIMPLE EVENT:
Your grandpa has 3 $20s, 5 $10s, 8 $1s
and 2 $5s in his wallet. If he pulls a bill to
give you without looking, what is the
probability that you will get a $20?
Now You:
Your brother will give you a trading card
from his collection. He has 28 football cards,
10 baseball cards, 2 soccer cards, and 5
hockey cards. If he chooses at random,
what is the probability that you will get a
baseball card?
__________________________
How to find the fraction of
number:
Example:
How many games would you expect the
Texans to win over the next two seasons
(each season has 16 games), if they
normally win 5/8 of their games?
Now you:
A bus boy gets 3/20 of whatever his
assigned waiter makes on tips. This
weekend, the waiter made $60.32 on Friday,
$57.95 on Saturday and $41.73, how much
did the bus boy make?
How to calculate the probability
of a COMPOUND event without
replacement:
Example:
A scrabble bag has 4 As, 2 Rs, and 3 other
letters left. What is the probability that a
player will pick an A, not replace it, and then
pick an R?
Now you:
An ice chest contains 4 Cokes, 3 Pepsis and
1 Sprite left. What is the probability that
someone selects randomly a Coke first
drinks it and then selects a Sprite?
_________________________________
How to calculate the probability
of a COMPOUND event WITH
replacement:
Example:
A spinner has 10 equal sections. 3 of the
sections are red, 2 are yellow and 5 are
white. If you spin it 3 times, what is the
probability that it will land on yellow each
time?
Now you:
Using the same spinner above, what would
be the probability that it will land on a red,
yellow, and white?
