📝 Description

Candy Probability helps learners understand probability by observing outcomes from a colorful jar activity. It supports prediction, counting, fractions, likelihood, and probability reasoning.

📋 Instructions

Answer the questions based on the candies or balls shown in the jar. Use observation and counting to choose the correct probability answer.

Learning objectives

Identify the sample space from the visible quantities.
Explain probability as favourable outcomes divided by possible equally likely outcomes.

Concepts and principles

If a jar contains equally selectable individual candies, P(selected color)=number of that color/total count.
Probability depends on the specified draw rule; replacement versus no replacement matters for multi-draw problems.

Examples and worked solutions

An illustrative jar has 3 red and 2 green candies. What is P(red)?: Worked solution: 3/(3+2)=3/5=0.6.

Guided practice

Count each displayed colour before answering a question.
Read whether the question describes one draw or multiple draws and whether replacement is specified.

Expected observations and explanations

If the candies are equally likely to be chosen, doubling every colour count preserves the single-draw probabilities.

Assessment questions and answers

Are two red draws automatically independent without replacement?: Answer: No. The composition changes after the first draw.
