Front

What is probability?

Back

Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the probability of an event?

Back

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

Front

Define complementary events in probability.

Back

Complementary events are two outcomes of an event that are mutually exclusive and together cover all possible outcomes.

Front

What is the probability of an event that is certain to happen?

Back

The probability of an event that is certain to happen is 1.

Front

What is the probability of an event that is impossible?

Back

The probability of an event that is impossible is 0.

Front

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

Back

Multiply the probabilities of each individual event.

Front

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

What is the probability of rolling a 6 on a standard number cube?

Back

The probability is 1/6.

Front

What is the probability of spinning an even number on a spinner with numbers 1 to 6?

Back

The probability is 3/6 or 1/2.

Front

Define a random experiment in probability.

Back

A random experiment is a process that leads to one of several possible outcomes, where the outcome cannot be predicted with certainty.
