Extra Practice Answers BLM 4.44.4 Make Decisions Based on Probability or Judgment
1. Answers may vary. For example, it’s going to be80% probability rain tomorrow so we’re not goingto the beach; I won the game wearing blue socks,therefore, I have to wear my blue socks tomorrow.
2. a) Blueb) Greenc) No. Other factors influence the game.d) He set up a table so he did an experimental
probability, but his idea that sock colouraffects wins is subjective judgment.
3. a) Gillian because she has 1236
or 13
probability
of getting a point and Samantha has 1036
probability of getting a point so Gillian has theadvantage.
b) Answers may vary. Gillian could get a point ifshe rolls odd numbers and Samantha could geta point if she rolls even numbers.
4. Black has a probability of 13
and white has a
probability of 23
, so in three spins Joan will
probably get 5 points and Roger will get 4 points.Joan has the better probability.
5. a) 0.2% or 1500
b) 2% or 10500
c) 150 tickets
6. a) White. It gives the most points and has thesame or more squares than the other colours.
b) Total points: 129 ÷ 20 possibilities = 6.45points per square.

$1 $2 $2 $6 $6$1 $2 $2 $6 $6$1 $2 $2 $6 $6$5 $6 $6 $6 $10$5 $6 $6 $6 $10
Answers may vary. For example, with the newchoice, the probabilities for Liam to get $2, $6,and $10 are 30%, 60%, and 10%, respectively.Since he has a 70% chance to get more than hisguaranteed $5, it is a good idea to try the newoffer.

Extra Practice Answers BLM 4RChapter 4 Review
1. An experimental probability is calculated usingthe experimental results. Theoretical probability isfound by dividing the number of favourableoutcomes by the total number of outcomes.Subjective judgment is usually made by one’spersonal experience or feeling. For example, iffive 5’s are obtained by rolling a number cube 10
times,
5
10 is an experimental probability, but
since there is only one 5 on a number cube, the
theoretical probability of getting a 5 is
1
6. Also,
because 5’s are obtained frequently, one can makea subjective judgment that the next roll willproduce another 5.
