A population of antelope starts at 138 antelopes. If the antelopes begin to die off at a rate of 12% per year, which function below models the population of antelopes? A) f(x)=1.12(.08)^x
B) f(x)=138(.88)^x
C) f(x)=138(1.12)^x
D) f(x)=12•(138)^x

5 Probability

5.1 Probabilities

Probabilities are used to describe how likely or unlikely it is that something will happen.

Weather forecasters often talk about how likely it is to rain, or perhaps snow, in particular

parts of the country.

Worked Example 1

(a) When you roll a dice, which number are you most likely to get?

(b) If you rolled a dice 600 times how my sixes would you expect to get?

(c) Would you expect to get the same number of ones?

Solution

(a) You are equally likely to get any of the six numbers.

(b) You would expect to get a six in about 1

6

of the throws, so 100 sixes.

(c) Yes, in fact you would expect to get about 100 of each number.

Worked Example 2

Use one of the following to describe each one of the statements (a) to (d).

Certain

Very likely

Likely

Unlikely

Very unlikely

Impossible

(a) It will snow tomorrow.

(b) It will rain tomorrow.

(c) You win a car in a competition tomorrow.

(d) You are late for school tomorrow.

Solution

(a) Very unlikely for most places in Britain, especially in summer.

(b) Likely or Very likely in Britain in winter.

(c) Very unlikely if you have entered the competition. Impossible if you have not

entered the competition.

(d) Very unlikely, unless the school bus breaks down.

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
