Basic Probability Review

Front

What is the sample space in probability?

Back

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

Front

How many outcomes are in the sample space for tossing one coin?

Back

2 (Heads or Tails)

Front

What is the probability of rolling a number less than 7 on a standard die?

Back

1 (All outcomes are less than 7: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Front

What is the probability of spinning green or blue on a spinner with equal sections?

Back

Front

What is the probability of flipping a fair coin and landing heads up?

Back

Front

What does a probability of 0 mean?

Back

It means the event is impossible and will not occur.

Front

What does a probability of 1 mean?

Back

It means the event is certain and will definitely occur.

Front

What is the range of probability values?

Back

Probability values range from 0 to 1, inclusive.

Front

What is an event in probability?

Back

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

Front

What is the complement of an event?

Back

The complement of an event A is the set of outcomes in the sample space that are not in A.
