About this worksheet

List the outcomes and find the chance of one event. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can list every equally likely outcome as a row, and know that each one has the same chance.
  • I can find a chance as rows that count ÷ all rows, and write it as a fraction in simplest form, a decimal or a percent.
  • I can work back from a chance to a count: a 3/10 chance in a jar of 20 means 6 buttons.

Standard: 7.SP.C.7a

Words to know

outcome: One thing that can happen, like landing on one part of a spinner.

outcome list (sample space): Every possible outcome, one row each. Schools call it the sample space.

equally likely: Every outcome has the same chance, like the faces of a fair number cube.

event: The outcomes the question asks about, like "a star" or "a number above 9".

chance (probability): Outcomes that count ÷ all outcomes. A number from 0 to 1.

uniform model: Every outcome gets the same chance: 1 ÷ the number of rows.

Common mistakes

Your child compared the outcomes that count with the ones that don't (3 to 5) instead of with all of them (3 out of 8).

Your child found the chance of the other outcomes, the ones the question did not ask about.

Your child gave each color or picture one outcome, but there are more of some than of others.

What to say

Ask: out of how many outcomes in all?

Ask: which outcomes does the question want?

Ask: how many of each are there?
