7th Grade Probability Worksheet Cheat Sheet
- Probability Formula - Kick off your probability journey by dividing the number of winning outcomes by the total possible outcomes. It's like slicing a pizza: if you have 4 pepperoni slices out of 8, your chance of grabbing one is 4/8! Probability Formulas Probability Formulas
- Complementary Events - Ever wondered what happens when an event doesn't occur? Simply subtract its probability from 1 to find the chance of the "not" happening. Think of it as the flip side of a coin - heads or tails, one or the other! Probability Formulas Probability Formulas
- Addition Rule - When you want "A or B" to happen, add their probabilities and subtract any overlap so you don't count twice. It's like adding two circles in a Venn diagram but carefully avoiding the center twice! Probability Formulas Probability Formulas
- Conditional Probability - Find the chance of A happening given that B already happened by focusing on the overlap of A and B divided by B's chance. It's the perfect tool for "given that…" scenarios, like drawing a second card after keeping the first. Probability Formulas Probability Formulas
- Bayes' Theorem - Update your beliefs when new evidence pops up! Multiply the likelihood of evidence given the hypothesis by the hypothesis's probability, then divide by the total evidence chance. It's your go-to for detective-style math! Probability Formulas Probability Formulas
- Independent vs. Dependent Events - If knowing A happened doesn't change B's chance, they're independent (just multiply their probabilities!). Otherwise, they're dependent, and you'll need conditional probability tricks. Perfect for understanding games, genetics, and more! Probability Formulas Probability Formulas
- Random Variables - Turn outcomes into numbers with random variables - they can be whole-numbered (discrete) or any value in a range (continuous). Think of rolling dice (discrete) versus measuring your height (continuous). Understanding Basic Probability Concepts Understanding Basic Probability Concepts and Rules for Students
- Expected Value - Calculate the long-run average by multiplying each outcome by its probability and adding them up. It's your crystal ball for "on average" predictions - perfect for games of chance or budgeting!

- Variance & Standard Deviation - Measure how spread out your data is: variance gives the average squared deviation, and the standard deviation brings it back to original units by taking the square root. It's like checking how wild your ride really is! Understanding Basic Probability Concepts Understanding Basic Probability Concepts and Rules for Students
- Common Probability Distributions - Master the Binomial for yes/no trials, Poisson for rare events, and Normal for the famous bell curve. Each distribution tells a unique story about randomness - get ready to decode them all! Understanding Basic Probability Concepts Understanding Basic Probability Concepts and Rules for Students
