What is the probability of an event?

Back

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

Front

Define experimental probability.

Back

Experimental probability is the probability determined by conducting an experiment and observing the outcomes.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the probability of independent events?

Back

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) for independent events A and B.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of drawing a card from a standard deck?

Back

The probability of drawing a specific card is 1/52, as there are 52 cards in total.

Front

What is the probability of drawing a heart or a club from a deck of cards?

Back

P(Heart or Club) = P(Heart) + P(Club) = 26/52.

Front

Explain the concept of complementary events.

Back

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

Front

What does P(not A) represent?

Back

P(not A) represents the probability that event A does not occur.

Front

How do you simplify a probability fraction?

Back

To simplify a probability fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

Front

What is a tree diagram in probability?

Back

A tree diagram is a visual representation of all possible outcomes of an event, showing the paths to each outcome.

Front

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

Back

Multiply the probabilities of each independent event together.
