Year 9 Here. I have my IGCSE Finals tomorrow and this is the only topic I couldn't properly understand. You made it way easier than my math teacher. Thank you so much sir.
Dear Mister Ginger Mathematician, Thank you for the time and effort you put to make this video. Because of you I have come to understand this topic thoroughly. I have an upcoming exam and my O'Levels coming up and this video has helped me extremely. Thank you very and hope you good health.
Thank you so so so much! I just started Igcse syllabus last year and i was struggling so much to understand and answer past paper questions. Thank you so much for being such a life saver this have helped me so much. I watched many of your videos and now I feel so much better. Thank You and please don’t ever stop teaching us, you are the reason many of us students are able to do well on our classes☺️
The link to the google document in the description is not the same questions that you are solving in the video. Did you make any other video for those?
I really like how you explain all the workings and how it comes to the answer as well! Is the calculator not allowed in the paper 2 of the 0607 course?
sir, at 15:09 what if we draw the sample space diagram for the part c question and use it to solve the part d, with only the answer there, will we still get the three marks of the part d question?
thank you so much for teaching probability, ive been stuck on a few questions especially the one that are asking for the outcomes will sum up to xxx. i do have a question on if i have to draw the sample space diagram on every questions or i could do it just once? and if i draw it once which number should i draw it on? once again truly grateful. :D
Hi, I've been doing probability questions and I've seen questions where number cards come up like in the paper 0580/43/O/N/20. Question number 4. If you could explain that it would be great
Great vids. I find it easier on 8C though to go right to the end of the line (4/9, 3/8, 2/7,1/6x 5/5) and then work backwards so you don't need to be comparing the sizes of tricky fractions multipied by another p/white ball. Seems easier for me, as the (white)5/5 acts a limit and parameter that makes things easier to comprehend.
We can use the sample space diagram to count the number of cases where one spinner lands on a prime number, whereas the other doesn't. Then, we can express this as a fraction of the total number of cases in the sample space diagram, and this would give us the required probability!
Hey ginger! your videos help me alot as I am preparing for my IGCSE's in 2025. I am still in 9th grade. Ginger i have a question, why are probability questions marks are weighted too much? like for a 1 step question is 3-4 marks?
Hey , i know this video is due to the result of the community pole , however could plzz make a video of the topic with second majority of the pole as well ,differentiation ,algebra
Hi Sir. I had a burning question about probability and Venn diagrams. Are there any past paper questions yet about conditional probability in Venn diagrams where this formula is needed - P(B given that A has happened) = P(A and B)/P(A)
Yes, there have been some questions in the past where they have asked about conditional probability using Venn Diagrams. The formula that you have stated here is absolutely correct for use in Venn diagrams!
You are amazing, extremely understandable speech, great explanation in all of your videos. Very pleased with the amount of content I have covered with your videos. Thank you for your help :)) cheers!
Well, I am unaware if you have done a detailed video like this for Sets and Venn diagram, but if you haven't, I would really appreciate it if you could please do one. Thank you :)
sir i have one question - in my paper 2 yesterday, there was a probability question. In that there were n number of hats with different colors and m number of scarves with different colors. It asked to find a certain color of the hat and scarf, chosen at random. Do we take seperate denominators for each or combine the number of hats and scarves (two category probaility basically). Thank you so much sir!
Hi Rohan, you essentially combine the two probabilities together 👍 If you can remember the full question, e-mail it to gingermathematician@gmail.com 🙂👍
In probability, both sample spaces and tree diagrams are tools used to organize and analyze possible outcomes of an experiment. Sample Space: When to Use: Use a sample space when the number of outcomes is manageable and can be listed easily. It's suitable for simple experiments with a limited number of possible outcomes. Example: If you're rolling a fair six-sided die, the sample space is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Tree Diagrams: When to Use: Use a tree diagram when the experiment involves multiple stages or events, and the outcomes at each stage depend on the outcomes of the previous stages. It's useful for visualizing and calculating probabilities in more complex situations. Example: If you flip a coin and then roll a die, a tree diagram can show all possible outcomes at each stage. In summary, choose a sample space for simpler scenarios with a limited number of outcomes, and opt for a tree diagram when dealing with multi-stage experiments or events with dependencies. Both are valuable tools depending on the complexity of the probability problem you're working on.
The probability of producing one soft centre chocolate is 1-probability of producing a hard centre chocolate (which the question tells us is 0.6). Therefore, the probability of producing a soft centre chocolate is 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
We're assuming that with every chocolate chosen, a new one is produced by the factory. The wording of the question shows us that we are not concerned with replacement/non-replacement.
Two main reasons 😊 1. IGCSE 0607 has a non-calculator paper so I vary between both methods. 2. IGCSE 0580 will have a non-calculator paper from 2025 onwards 👍
Hello! If i would get the answer right but didnt show exactly how they show in the method mark, would I still get all marks for that question? (In any topic)

11:12 What do you mean by "there is replacement or without replacement"?
Whether the ball goes back into the bag or not... this then has an effect on the 2nd event's probability 🙂👍

Hoping for a reply ASAP
When you have two events (Spinners) in this case and you are looking at problems where the probabilities of both are combined 😊👍

I really like how you explain all the workings and how it comes to the answer as well! Is the calculator not allowed in the paper 2 of the 0607 course?
Thanks Min :) On the 0607 course Paper 2 is purely a non-calculator paper but only 45 mins...
Do you use an external microphone when you record? The audio quality is pretty good!
Nope just my internal mic 🙂 👍
thank you so much sir this helped a lot....... u really deserve a subscription😊
Thank you Sadiq 😊👍
@gingermathematician how are we supposed to know if there is replacement or not
Please explain
If it doesn't say in the question, it is not with replacement!
At 29:30 how did we multiply the fraction by 5/6, are we allowed to make up a fraction to multiply our answer with?
Because it's the probability of not choosing a white ball :-)
Could you perhaps make updated videos on the videos you have done like this one, or is it too much to ask?
I did an updated inequalities video so would like to update this too 👍
@@GingerMathematician would be very appreciated and needed before my may/june exams ☺
Does this video also have 0580 questions because our syllabus does not have relative frequency in probability...
This is a mixture of 0580 and 0607 questions :-)
Hi sir , is this suitable for the 0580 extended course ??
Yes and 0607, no difference between them 🙂
sir, at 15:09 what if we draw the sample space diagram for the part c question and use it to solve the part d, with only the answer there, will we still get the three marks of the part d question?
Yes, you will get the marks! Just remember to mention that you are using the sample space diagram from the previous part in the answer space!
Paper 2 tomorrow, just cramming some of the topics that I can. I’m probably gonna skip mensuration so hopefully it doesn’t come 😅
28:38 I am so confused where did we get 3/8 from 😅
So initial probability is 4 / 8, so if I choose another one of the same, I have 3 of them out of 8 in total 😊👍
Thank you so much GM! Wish me luck for my exams upcoming in a few months!
I'll be there every step of the way 🙂

isnt the answer for 23:44 40/70?
It is actually 33/70. Try rewatching the explanation to see if it makes sense now!
What about 16:16 I dont get d, how?
We can use the sample space diagram to count the number of cases where one spinner lands on a prime number, whereas the other doesn't. Then, we can express this as a fraction of the total number of cases in the sample space diagram, and this would give us the required probability!
