Possible outcomes and making predictions

Hi Friends, In today's tutoring session we will focus on Possible outcomes and making predictions. Possible Outcome of an event or making predictions in any event are relatively similar terms, as in both the cases one has to look at the likelihood or relative frequency for something to happen, Predicting what will happen is a valuable real thinking skill of any person which helps him get closer to the possibility of an event.
While concluding about the possible outcomes one must also take care about how he/she is making predictions in them and this ways the objective of getting closer to the reality of the event can be achieved, generally these type of problems are practiced with grade V students.
Now, let us take few examples with which we can be closer to the in predicting the Probability of Occurrence of an Event.
1. If an individual has a choice of picking 3 Shirts, 5 Jeans and 4 Shoes, predict how many different outfits one can be in (assuming nothing can be picked more than once).
In such case we can see that the possible number will be= 3*5*4.
2. If a day, has to be chosen from the month of September ( 30 days ) having 3 in the date, what is the possibility of that day to occur ?, this can be easily seen that possibility is 4/ 30 ( 3, 13, 23 and 30 ).
Have you ever thought that in your day to day life you come across so many things which run on the principle of prediction, for instance say weather forecast, Stock markets, the environment etc.? The generation and analysis of data is becoming extremely prevalent in today’s world, where data is generated at the occurring of every event and thus making it extremely important to use this data properly to do, the proper prediction of any particular event.
