Sample Space and Probability

Front

What is the definition of a sample space in probability?

Back

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

Front

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

What does it mean if an event has a probability of 1/10?

Back

It means that there is a 10% chance that the event will occur.

Front

What is a simulation in probability?

Back

A simulation is an experiment that approximates a real-world situation to save time and simplify the process.

Front

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

Back

Multiply the probabilities of each independent event.

Front

What is an outcome in probability?

Back

An outcome is a single result of a probability experiment.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the probability of a single event?

Back

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

Front

What is a tree diagram used for in probability?

Back

A tree diagram is used to determine the possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

If you spin a spinner with 4 equal sections, what is the probability of landing on one specific section?

Back

1/4, since there are 4 equal sections.

Front

What is the difference between an event and an outcome?

Back

An event is a set of outcomes, while an outcome is a single result of an experiment.
