Front

Define event in probability.

Back

An event is a specific outcome or a set of outcomes from a sample space.

Front

What is the formula for calculating probability?

Back

Probability (P) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes.

Front

What does it mean if an event has a probability of 0?

Back

It means the event is impossible and will not occur.

Front

What does it mean if an event has a probability of 1?

Back

It means the event is certain to occur.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of multiple independent events occurring?

Back

Multiply the probabilities of each individual event.

What is the probability of scoring in a game with concentric circles?

Back

Calculate the area of the scoring region divided by the total area of the circles.

Front

How do you find the probability of selecting a point in a shaded region?

Back
