  • Students distinguish impossible, uncertain, and certain events in festival plans.

How to use

Use after introducing the probability scale. Have students compare each probability with 0, 1/2, or 1, then discuss the final explanation.

Music Festival: Tickets, Stages, and Chances

Interpret probabilities to review ticket sales and stage plans.

Ticket Forecasts

Use each forecast as given. A probability describes likelihood, not the number of tickets sold.

1.
The festival office forecasts whether each ticket type will sell out. Which ticket type is most likely to sell out?
Sellout Forecasts
Ticket typeSellout probability
Friday pass0.68
Saturday pass3/4
Sunday pass0.7
Weekend pass65%
  • A. The Friday pass is most likely.
  • B. The Sunday pass is most likely.
  • C. The weekend pass is most likely.
  • D. The Saturday pass is most likely.
2.
The probability that student tickets sell out is 45%. The online sales system requires a decimal from 0 to 1.

What decimal should the office enter?  

3.
Two forecasts concern the same ticket offer. The first gives a sellout probability of 0.52. The revised forecast gives 0.48. What changed?
  • A. Selling out changed from more likely to less likely than not selling out.
  • B. Selling out changed from certain to impossible.
  • C. Selling out stayed more likely than not selling out.
  • D. Selling out stayed less likely than not selling out.
