Sample Space Diagrams for Probability Analysis
Sample Space Diagrams
This table is one way of displaying all the
outcomes
from
throwing two dice and adding them together. It is called a
sample space diagram

The sample space diagram can be used to find probabilities.
1)
What is the probability of
getting a total more than 5?
2)
What is the probability of
getting a total less than 10?
3)
What is the probability of
getting a total that is a
square number?
4)
What is the probability of
getting an even total?
5)
What is the probability of
getting an odd total?
6)
What is the probability of
getting a total less than 13?

Two Dice Games:
Use sample space diagrams to show how you decide whether the game is fair.
two dice are rolled and the numbers on
each dice are subtracted (smaller from
larger)
if the difference is 1 or 2: Anton wins
if the difference is 0, 3, 4 or 5: Brisa wins
is this a fair game?
two dice are rolled and the numbers on
each are multiplied and then this is
divided by 5
the score is the remainder
e.g. for (1, 3) you get 3
5
the
remainder is 3
if the remainder is 0 or 1: Alice wins
if the remainder is 2, 3 or 4: Bram wins
is this a fair game?
two dice are rolled and the numbers on
each dice are added
if the total is prime: Adrian wins
if the total is composite (not prime):
Bella wins
is this a fair game?
two dice are rolled and the numbers
on each are multiplied and then this is
divided by 3
the score is the remainder
e.g. for (2, 5) you get 10
3
the
remainder is 1
if the remainder is 0: Alwyn wins
if the remainder is 1 or 2: Bart wins
is this a fair game?

Two four sided dice are thrown and the numbers added together.
What is the probability of getting:
1)
a total more than 4?
2)
a total less than 8?
3)
a prime number total?
4)
a total that is at least 3?
5)
a total of 4 or 5?
6)
the same number on both dice?
7)
a lower number on the
first dice?

Sample Space Diagrams
Use the table to find the probability of
getting a score of 3 or 4.
The probability of getting a score of 3 or
4 can be written as
P(3 or 4).
P(3 or 4) =
P(5 or 6) =
P(2 or 7) =
Understand sample space diagrams through visual representations of dice games and coin toss scenarios to determine probabilities of different outcomes. Explore fair game scenarios and practice calculating probabilities based on various game rules involving dice and coins.
