Question

Think about the methods you have for comparing two probabilities to decide which is greater. In your Learning Log, create an example and explain two different strategies for comparing probabilities. Title this entry "Comparing Probabilities" and label it with today's date.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities are basically values determining how likely something is to happen. These values are usually represented in fractions or percentages which are the two main strategies as well for comparing probabilities. For comparing probabilities through fractions we would try to make sure the denominators are equal and then compare the numerators. The higher numerator is the probability with the highest chance of something happening. For example...

$\frac{3}{4} > \frac{1}{4}$  ... 3/4 is a much higher probability than 1/4

The second strategy would be using percentages in the same way. The higher percentage is the one with the highest probability while the lower percentage is the one with the lower probability.

96%  >   54%
